PRE-TRIP History and Culinary Delights of Bologna & Parma, Italy YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Tuscany & Umbria: Rustic Beauty in the Italian Heartland 2023 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, For me, one of the joys of traveling is the careful planning that goes into an adventure—from the first spark of inspiration to hours spent poring over travel books about my dream destinations—and I can’t wait to see where my next journey will take me. I know you’re eager to explore the world, too, and our Tuscany & Umbria itinerary described inside is an excellent way to start. Exactly how your adventure unfolds is up to you, because you have many choices to customize it. You can arrive early and stay later—perhaps by adding a pre- or post-trip extension, spending time in a Stopover city, or combining 2 or more trips. Plus, your itinerary is laced with free time, so you’ll have opportunities to do your own thing. More than 80% of the travelers who reserve this trip choose to tailor their adventure. In fact, O.A.T. is the only travel company to offer such flexibility and choice for an experience that is truly personalized. As for Tuscany & Umbria, thanks to your small group of 8-16 travelers (average 13) you can expect some unforgettable experiences. Here are a few that stood out for me: I love to eat in Italy (who doesn’t?) and Tuscany is truly a gastronomic playground, brimming with some of the nation’s most iconic dishes. You’ll see what I mean when you spend A Day in the Life in the Chianti Valley on a family-owned goat farm where you’ll have a chance to meet the goats, learn about organic farming practices during a stroll through the fruit and vegetable gardens, and discover the secrets of cheese-making firsthand before sitting down with your hosts for a farm-fresh lunch. While I adore so many of the Italian traditions that I’ve encountered, I was saddened to learn about a darker side of this country’s heritage and the consequences of the machismo culture: femminicidio , or violence against women. When you visit La Città delle Donne—an organization that provides vital services for victims of domestic abuse, you’ll meet some of the volunteers who work closely with the survivors. They’ll speak to the challenges facing survivors after they leave an abusive relationship and share their passion for achieving gender equality in Italy. I found their stories harrowing but ultimately inspiring—and you will, too. The way we see it, you’ve come a long way to experience the true culture—not some fairytale version of it. That’s why we don’t shy away from controversial topics, and why all our Trip Experience Leaders are “insiders” who live in the country. At times you may be nudged out of your comfort zone. But you will also be inspired by the resilience and humanity of the wonderful people you meet. And that’s what adventure travel is all about. Thanks for letting me dream along with you about Tuscany & Umbria. I’m looking forward to experiencing the enrichment that only travel can bring, and I hope you are, too. Until then, feel free to call our Regional Adventure Counselors at 1-800-955-1925. Love and peace, Harriet R. Lewis Vice Chairman, Overseas Adventure Travel P.S.

  • Moong-Masoor Dal Tadka
    MOONG-MASOOR DAL TADKA -INSTANT POT PRESSURE COOKER RECIPE- BY AJIT SAHI There are some recipes that just speak of home and this is one of them. Dal is a term in several Indian languages that refers to dried lentils, legumes and beans. It’s as staple as it gets when it comes to the Indian diet. This version uses husked and split yellow and red lentils. The texture of this dish is soupy, but with a creamier texture than that of a straight broth. We sometimes call it peeli dal – meaning yellow dal – for its obvious golden appearance when finished. Moong-masoor dal is a classic Punjabi comfort food and it can be paired with white basmati rice or fresh rotis (Indian flatbread). These lentils would be mild on their own, but with the tadka or tempering with aromatics, makes it anything but. This was one of the first things I learned how to make from Varinder’s mom Ajit, and it still continues to be in our weekly rotation of dishes. The beauty of this dish is its simplicity and the fact that it takes a short time to prepare. Enjoy this very special and authentic taste of our home. – Anita Sahi makes 4-6 servings INGREDIENTS Cooking the dals • ½ c Moong (Mung) Dal (Husked, Split) • 1 tsp Ginger (Minced) • ½ c Masoor Dal • 1 Onion (Medium, Diced) (Red Lentils, Husked, Split) • 1 Jalapeño or Serrano Chili (Chopped) • 2.5-3 c Filtered Water • 2-3 Roma Tomatoes (Diced, To yield 1.5 c) • Pinch Turmeric • 1 tsp Turmeric • Pinch Red Chili Powder • 1 tsp Red Chili Powder • Pinch Sea Salt • 1 tsp Coriander Seed (Freshly Ground) Tadka (Tempering with aromatics) • To Taste Fresh Squeeze of Lemon Juice • 2 T Ghee (Clarified Butter) or Olive Oil (Optional) • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds • Garnish Cilantro Leaves (Freshly Chopped), • 1 tsp Garlic (Minced) Butter or Ghee MOONG-MASOOR DAL TADKA -INSTANT POT PRESSURE COOKER RECIPE- BY AJIT SAHI PREPARATION 1.

    Spicy Eggplant & Green Bean Curry with Garlic Rice & Ginger Peanuts In this dynamic vegetarian curry, we’re tempering the heat of our spice blend (including warming flavors like cumin, turmeric and cayenne) with creamy coconut milk—a technique commonly used in the cuisines of India’s southern coast. Three types of seasonal vegetables—green beans, baby leeks and petite fairy tale eggplants—give our curry a hearty array of flavors and textures. We’re serving it all with garlic-infused jasmine rice and a garnish of ginger- sautéed peanuts, for even more enticingly vibrant flavor.

  • Food from Around Europe
    48 Recipes! Food from around Europe Collected and cooked by pupils in Denmark, England, Germany and Turkey “I am surprised and happy to experience all the hospitallity and kindness we have met, visiting people abroad.” “I really liked it. I think it was nice that we travelled to Daniella, Skibhusskolen TTyrkey. Alle the people were very kind and friendly. I like all the things we did. We thank all the EU-people.” SusanneS Scholtysik, 15 years, Michael-Ende-Schule Essen Essential The Essen Essential project was the result of a Comenius Contact Seminar hold in Kinsale, Ireland in November, 2006. A group of interested and enthusias- tic teachers from Denmark, England, Germany and Turkey decided to work together with a small group of pupils in their schools to create an international Recipe book. An important integral part of the work with students was to fi nd suitable recipes that were traditional in the local area as well as to look at the healthiness of the recipes. Essen Essential has without a doubt been extremely successful and enriching experience for all these involved. These that participated, pupils and teach- ers, were asked to broaden their knowledge and experience of other European Union countries by visiting each other countries and lasting friendships have been established. This recipe book is the result of all their hard work. Fiona Conley Project Manager ”When I arrived in England, I felt very excited and only wanted to meet my penfriend, Emily. She spoke to me as if one of her friends. Her teachers Mrs Fiona Conley and Elain Storey were very kind and lovely people.
