Boutique travel for the curious epicurean.

Hungry for travel beyond the ordinary?

Imagine embarking on a culinary adventure where every bite tells a story of the land and its people. RecipeKick Adventures was born from a passion for traveling differently– for people who crave more connection to the local place and its flavors. Join us as we blend into the rhythm of local life, surrounded by like-minded adventurers, who also seek to explore, learn, and savor a place deeply. Choose from a villa, chateau, palapa, or riad, in some of the world’s most beautiful places. We book the entire property to make sure you feel at home, and use it as our base as we venture out on daily excursions to hidden gems. You’ll learn to cook intuitively with local ingredients and traditions, and, in the process, gain a fluency that you won’t find with another travel experience. Here we laugh, connect, explore, relax and revive.

Join us in crafting memories that are as meaningful as they are delicious.

Travel done differently

We believe in immersing ourselves in a culture rather than just visiting a place. We think unique experiences and new skills make the best souvenirs. We value getting away from the crowds, to exquisite private locales, where like-minded people gather round the table and feel like old friends. Join us as we eat, drink, cook, sleep and live in these magical places. Explore old cultures and new flavors. Savor experiences. Relax, unplug, reset.

Roads less traveled

Our adventures are one-of-a-kind, crafted by a dream team of chefs, travelers, and local friends. With a focus on joyful, conscientious, and immersive travel, each trip is unique and built on our special relationships with amazing people, to the local places they share with us. We blend learning, exploration, and relaxation perfectly. Each day has a bit of each, creating a rhythm that'll soon become your favorite way to travel. Leave the planning to us. 

Luxury without pretention

We practice elegant hospitality: all the luxury, none of the fuss. You’ll join a small cadre of sophisticated nomads, seeking more than traditional travel. Always all-inclusive, you’re taken care of in style. Expect unique high-end destinations: Julia Child’s home in Provence, a private catamaran sailing through a number of Croatian islands, a boutique Mexican resort accessible only by boat, the residence of an Italian Countess built in 15th century villa…

The jewel in our crown: Julia Child’s home in Provence. Cook in her kitchen, or spread out across the acreage to her bestie’s Provençal Domaine, to stay in the Manoir still owned by Simone Beck’s family. This unique retreat lets you choose your own adventures from bespoke excursions to the French Riviera below, a variety of cooking classes that will have you cooking from the hip, or just soaking in the lavender by the saltwater pool. This is a magical place that will stay with you always.

Secrets of Venice & the Veneto

September 21-27, 2025

We are taking you behind the Venetian glass with our local friends on a land and sea adventure! Years in the planning, be the guest of our friend the Countess at her family’s 15th century Villa in the stunning Prosecco Hills. We’ll explore from the Dolomites, to Venice, and the larger Lagoon to savor the real Serenissima and her secrets. Throughout it all, we’ll lean into the bounty of the Veneto (seafood, duck, mussels, squid ink pasta, etc) as we cook, eat, and live like Venetian royalty in our own little Renaissance Palazzo.

Coastal Vallarta, Mexico

Cook Camp Mexico



Calling our adventurers! We’ll whisk you away from Puerto Vallarta and back in time to what feels like 1970’s Mexico– a still undiscovered coastal village with no cars or roads– with a magical boutique resort tucked away on a lush jungle hillside. Built by hand and accessible only by boat, this is a once in a lifetime experience. You’ll stay in one of just 10 palapas, many with outdoor showers and open walls, offering a seamless blend of high-end luxury and connection to the jungle’s natural beauty.
