When roaming the world, do you ever get the urge to break away from the usual restaurant seating for two or four? Instead, it could be fun to join a group of up to 10 strangers at one table, all hosted by talented and friendly private chefs in their own homes.

Dine on fine Italian food in a Roma villa, enjoy fish and chips with a London family, sit down to dinner with a Russian babushka borscht expert or enjoy a New Orleans meal with a crawdad chef. Consider a sumptuous family-style dinner in Pennsylvania Dutch country.

When your travel schedule is being put together, and you would like to try the home-cooking experience, go to MealSharing.com to find those welcoming homes.
