• Resumen

  • The rise of the sharing economy has already transformed finding somewhere to stay while on holiday, through sites like Couchsurfing and Airbnb. Now several start-up companies aim to connect tourists with amateur cooks who open their homes to provide an authentic meal outside of the restaurant setting. To participate in a shared meal, people can search through events posted by hosts. Cooks can specify the menu they plan to create, or give an approximate idea, such as "organic vegan", along with the price. Here, Nuwer reports how easy it is to find a home-cooked meal online.
