One of the greatest achievements of recent times lies in the growing trend towards downward standardization, and globally, of tourism. Something that only a few decades ago was the almost exclusive privilege of the wealthy classes has become a global phenomenon that most people can enjoy.
In this context, initiatives as curious as the one at hand arise. This is Cook flat, a kind of social network that connects people interested in being hosts in their own homes and preparing the typical dishes of their area, with those adventurous travelers who want to try the culinary delights of the visited region without having to go to expensive restaurants.
Cook flat’s many options
- Users who register on the website provided by the initiative can select from among various proposals that, obviously, will oscillate according to what each bidder wants or can suggest. For obvious reasons, the key to Cook flat lies in the possibility of trying traditional dishes and home-style from the country of origin of said users.
- Another magnificent possibility that Cook flat offers is to try homemade meals from other places in the world in your own city of residence, without having to go on a trip to get to know these cuisines.
- Those interested in becoming hosts will be able to distribute the appointments with considerable freedom of action, being able to accumulate several guests in a single visit or distribute them in different shifts. For this reason, it is essential to establish a prior reservation or find out about availability in each case.
Boldness at popular prices
- Depending on the provider, prices usually range between 15 and 30 euros per person, which does not seem like an excessively high cost given that traditional home cooking in restaurants tends to be much more expensive, especially for those of us who live in large cities. where the lifestyle is much higher.
- For temporary reasons, since the web has been in operation for a few weeks, the feedback is scarce. Therefore, on many occasions, you have to be somewhat daring and launch yourself to be the first to try any of the proposed menus. This inconvenience will be resolved over time and Cook flat will continue to grow.
- For now, and in the absence of observing its evolution, it still does not seem to be a clear alternative to traditional hospitality, although given the enormous potential of this type of initiative and its expansion through social networks, it is possible that it will become a popular trend.
