Like most people these days, I've been spending a lot of time in my kitchen. With the majority of restaurants closed due to shelter-in-place guidelines, I've learned to roll up my sleeves and get creative.

But it can be hard to break out of old patterns. While my cocktail game has improved significantly, I often find myself preparing the same meals on repeat.

To flip that switch, I decided to seek inspiration from beautiful hotels around the world. When I close my eyes I can still taste that black pepper venison and kanpachi crudo that chef Sunny Jin prepared one night at The Resort at Paws Up on my last trip before quarantine in February.

It's amazing the power that memories and a well-cooked meal in a beautiful setting can have on your psyche. Luckily, many hotel chefs around the world have opened up their hearts, and kitchens, by sharing signature recipes that even a novice home cook can follow.

Try, for example, Palmetto Bluff's low country shrimp pilau, which is the type of dish that feeds the soul. Or executive chef of Monteverdi Tuscany's Giancarla Bodoni's slow-cooked "Taste Of Tuscany Beef ragout," a mélange of tomatoes and spices that will surely transport you to the land of all things bella vita.
