Milan Sharing Food with Private Cook

I am an avid foodie, every time I go somewhere I must eat the most authentic and representative dish of that region even though I don’t know where I could find such a specialty restaurant. Recently I tried out a dinning app that was recommended to me by a friend: VizEat. VizEat finally helped me solve this problem. Let me give you an example. The last time I went to tour Milan I went alone to a quiet villa in the city district. The owner, Eleanor, travelled back and forth between the kitchen and the courtyard, serving customers the year’s freshest wine and appetizing pastries. I ate Carpaccio and speciality Prosciutto-Wrapped Hami Melon. The ham was carefully selected and cut into thin slices wrapped around the melon to make a refreshing, melt-inyour- mouth appetizer. On this day many customers came.

It was an unbelievable sight. It was the first time that these tourists who had came from different countries and were all of different skin colors were meeting the owner Eleanor, yet the tables were filled with food and wine and the atmosphere became relaxed very easily. It didn’t even take three full drinks for everyone to begin lively chatting with one another. This is exactly the selling point of VizEat: to allow people to gather around a table and get to know each other over sharing a good meal. This app has added a new layer and depth to the concept of tourism. For this meal I ate the most famous Italian pizza. The pizza is made by dipping flour in oil and placing it into an iron pan and then adding a variety of fillings (pork, beef, ham, cucumber, eggplant, onion). The iron pan is then placed in the oven for baking after which the pizza is ready to eat. The taste can be improved with tomato sauce and the top can also be decorated with Chinese olives and eggs. I also tasted the most authentic Italian meat sausage: Salami. Salami is in the shape of a long rolling pin and the surface is covered in a layer of white powder. When cut open, the fragrant and captivating bright red meat is exposed. Salami is related to German starch filled sausages. The fact that VizEat can lead users to authentic and delicious home cooking is a major feature of the app. The food produced by the locals is naturally the most authentic and reflective of local characteristics. The platform also offers a special dining environment. VizEat business owners entertain their guests; they are not likely to choose a dining hall that conforms with the norms of society but rather a dining environment in which they can arrange a banquet at places like the beach or on the haul of a ship. The third major feature of the app is the interaction with the host. Some family chefs will take you on a tour of the local market, teach you how to buy authentic local ingredients, and make you knowledgeable about the local dining culture from a local person’s perspective.

Whether it is buying food together, watching their cooking process, or the banter when tasting the food, all are excellent life experiences and foreign travel. In this way one can really have a great time! Furthermore, VizEat is also very simple to use. The first thing you need to do is browse, then view the menu, have a look at the evaluations left by other guests and the host’s self-introduction. Their self introduction will include information such as their age, the languages they speak, and their work. They will also include dining information such as restrictions on the number of people, the time limit, and whether or not drinking is acceptable. The next portion is the chat section where you can chat with the owner to make sure that you are both on the same page. If the owner and the user feel comfortable then the next step is making a reservation, pricing/payment, and finally dining and enjoying a delicious meal. When technology meets traditional culture we are always given the greatest types of surprises, wouldn’t you say?
