Traditional / Authentic food (Beira)

Hello,

I would like to ask everyone in the InterNations community for assistance with my Professional Doctorate research. There is no urgency, this phase of the project will continue for approximately 12 months.

I need to connect with any of the following and in every country in the world:
• Chefs,
• Restaurant owners,
• Food researcher / educators,
• Food tourism operators,
• National and/or regional tourism offices,
• Etc.

Even one contact, anywhere in the world, would be a great help.

My research will start with two basic questions; something along these lines:
• In your opinion, which 3 statements best define the term ‘Traditional/Authentic Cuisine’?
• In your opinion, which 3 factors support and which 3 factors obstruct the successful introduction of ‘Traditional/Authentic Cuisine’ from one country or region, into a global city in another country, or a different region in the same country?

You can find more about me on Facebook – Protected content - and on LinkedIn under Protected content Cristofori.

Thank you very much for any assistance you can offer.
