Trafalgar's Be My Guest Experiences Featured in O Magazine and Recommended by Oprah.com

    ANAHEIM, CA, February 01, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Trafalgar (www.trafalgar.com) is thrilled to receive a featured recommendation for their Be My Guest dining experiences from the editors of both O Magazine and Oprah.com. The magazine is one of the most popular in North America, with a circulation of over 2,460,000 in the US alone, making this a significant accolade for Trafalgar.

The February issue of O is themed 'Express Yourself', with an alphabetized list of ways readers can show off who they truly are. 'C' is for 'Cooking' and the magazine recommends 'Exploring your past' with Trafalgar:

"Great-great-grandma Lorraine's technique for making authentic schnitzel may have been lost a year ago, but that doesn't mean you can't tap into your roots and cook the way they did in the old country. Trafalgar's foodie-focused Be My Guest tours offer a rotating list of hands-on cooking lessons taught by locals, from how to make macarons in Southern France to empanadas in Argentina."

The staff at O Magazine and Oprah.com was introduced to Trafalgar when one of their senior editors set off on a trip last November to France and Italy. On the trip, travelers from around the world were taken on several of Trafalgar's signature Be My Guest dining experiences throughout Provence, Tuscany and Florence. Purchasing and cooking fresh market vegetables in Tuscany, tasting a delicious homecooked Italian meal in a 15th Century private villa and learning how to make French macarons from a Laduree-trained pastry chef was all part of the foodie experience, and are highlights on several of Trafalgar's itineraries.

"Millions of readers turn to 'O' Magazine for the latest in lifestyle products, trends and advice - it's an honor to have Trafalgar recommended by the publication's editors," says Paul Wiseman, President of Trafalgar USA. "Our Be My Guest dining experiences are a unique opportunity for travelers to immerse themselves in a culture and learn new things about themselves - perfect for the 'Express Yourself' issue."
