And the experiences of young chef and travel enthusiast Stevie Parle, of London\u2019s Dock Kitchen, can be seen in the new South East Asian trips. Seasoned Intrepid Foodie Greg Malouf, who is preparing to open a new Middle Eastern restaurant in Dubai, has offered his expertise on the Real Food Adventure Morocco.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #333333; line-height: 19px;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #333333; line-height: 19px;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">In celebration of the new Food Adventures, Alejandro will be giving Sydneysiders a taste of the Peru Real Food Adventure with \u2018Peru on the Road\u2019, his food truck, at Sydney\u2019s Wynyard Park on&nbsp;Monday 14 and Tuesday 15 October&nbsp;from lunch through to dinner.
