Katie Derham celebrates the pursuit of good food as a newly popular reason to travel.

Nowadays we travel to eat. The pursuit of good food has become a mission and a pleasure on holidays. To examine and celebrate this trend Katie is joined by Antonio Carluccio, the Number One ambassador for Italian food and Sarah Miller, editor of Traveller magazine.

There are reports from Goa, where foodie film director Gurinder Chadha takes a cookery course to learn how to make a classic fish curry and from West Sweden which has, per capita, the highest number of starred restaurants on earth. Susan Marling takes a trip to discover how the best seafood, land produce and fruits of the forest come together in traditional dishes now given an exciting modern twist.

There's also a report about a 'pig safari' in Shropshire - the model for an increasingly popular style of weekend with British food at its heart.

And Craig Allen, veteran foodie, talks about being a traveller who follows his nose entirely.
