When it comes to Delhi, Food Walks’ founder Anubhav Sapra started organising such walks in 2011. This move became successful and aligned to showcase how the city is full of diversity in culinary flavours. He initially distributed pamphlets and partnered with travel agents.
“It all started with a love for food and a passion for educating people about the city’s food culture.” Said Anubhav while describing his journey. Today, there are people from worldwide, especially Africans, exploring Humayunpur, CR Park, and Lajpat Nagar-like areas. All thanks to him.
Similarly, there is one more such initiative in Lucknow: Anubhuti Krishna, writer and founder of Lucknow with Anubhuti, has come up with food and heritage walks in her city. This approach let her showcase how there is more to explore in Lucknow alongside its famous kebabs and biryanis. Reflecting on this, she said, “While these are iconic, Lucknow offers so much more, and I want people to experience that.”
In Bengaluru, there are food trails that offer something more than local taste. Their approach is giving many opportunities to vendors, artisans, and chefs. This is how participants are also getting to learn traditional cooking methods.
Overall, Indian cities are filled with food walks as of now, which also shows participants’ dedication towards our culture. This is bringing a positive impact on the country’s diverse culinary heritage.
