"Food is at the heart of many people’s vacations, with friends and family coming together to enjoy delicious meals in a picturesque setting. Once back home, these meals are often one of the things we miss the most, so recreating these dishes helps us reminisce and keep that vacation spirit alive," said Lisa McDowell of Ocado Retail. And she added: "It seems many of us are becoming more adventurous in the kitchen - travel playing a big role in this regard. It can be frustrating when you struggle to find the specialized ingredients you enjoyed on vacation after returning home, but fortunately we can help you with that."
