I love food.
I can’t say this was always true, my mother has many stories
of chasing me with a plate of food because I just wouldn’t eat as a kid. Well,
all that changed in my 20s. I appreciated food, and variety. As I got older, it
proved to be fascinating from yet another perspective – it allowed me insight
into the various cultures. Food, especially global cuisine and the cultural
nuances/techniques/etc intrigued me. Not only did I want to eat every cuisine I could access, I wanted to cook, to learn
how each of these cuisines used the same ingredients and explore completely
alien ones.
I am fortunate to have a partner that appreciates food just
as much, and together we launched and ran an underground restaurant for many years.
While the pop up dinners are behind us, we still enjoy good food and are blessed
that our 5 year old does too. From vada pav in Mumbai, sushi in Japan, to pulpo (octopus) in Spain and
everything in between she has enjoyed it all and routinely demands these dishes
and many more be made at home.
However there is a world, and a world of food that we haven’t
discovered yet. And I would love to teach her to be curious about the world around
her, so we came up with the idea – to explore a country each week, alphabetically.
Learn a little bit about the country and its people, and a cook a meal
representative of them.
My sincere hope is to get all the way from A through Z. Read
along and explore the world with us!
