Hanna Raskin brings a wealth of experience and incomparable connections to this venture. If her tours are half as much fun as the one she organized for the Southern Foodways Alliance in Apalachicola, you shouldn't miss them. When I retire, I won't.

The organization of this trip was superb. I feel I have seen the best of what I came for. The diversity of the people and the food was very interesting and educational

Hanna and Catharine ... you rock!!!

I would go anywhere with the American Table Culinary Tours.

Describe the tour experience in one word? Not possible. It was entertaining, educational and a genuine treat.

I have known Hanna for many years now. Having witnessed her work in Ann Arbor and her efforts in support of the Southern Foodways Alliance, I feel confident giving any trip she's put together a very high recommendation. Her passion for traditional foods, organizational skills, attention to detail, dedication to learning, and commitment to having fun are sure to result in a great trip!
