LONDON (6 December): This winter, Food by National Geographic Traveller (UK) explores some of the top feasting experiences around the world, from Persian New Year to Swedish Midsummer.

With Christmas approaching, communal dining is high on many people’s culinary agendas, and in Food’s latest cover story, we take a deep dive into how the season is celebrated in Poland, as well as examining an array of feasts taking place throughout the year, featuring comments and recipes from in-the-know chefs, first-hand experiences and all the details of how to join the celebrations.

Nicola Trup, editor of Food, said: “Feasting means different things to different people — at least when it comes to the menu — but the one constant is that food is there to be shared. Feasts take place year-round, so, while our cover story features Poland’s festive spread of meat-free soups, fish dishes and desserts, we’ve drawn up a list that allows readers to enjoy the festivities year-round.

“So, whether you’d like to join in Apokries, Greece’s pre-Lent celebrations involving meaty dishes, costumes and burning effigies; Canadian Thanksgiving, which centres around enjoying the bounty of harvest season; or tucking into haggis, neeps and tatties at a Burns Night supper, we have plenty of inspiration to offer.”

Also in this issue, we explore the seafood of Tasmania’s coastline; enjoy a spice-laden family meal on the island of Bequia in St Vincent & the Grenadines; and discover a Japanese cuisine like no other in Hokkaido. All this, plus the best of Stockholm, Dubai and more.

In addition, expect the usual selection of inspiring features and tempting recipes from renowned chefs and cookbook authors.
