You're never too old to play with your food!

Here's what to expect...

I’m a student hungry for adventure, new skills and a good time. This blog will follow my curiosity to wherever I hear about good food and the wonderful parts of the world that create it. I hope to discover new recipes to add to my usual day and to appreciate the people that made them. 

How i'm approaching this

Interviews

I think one of the best ways to learn something new is just to ask people. I’m not as big a fan of just looking things up when real people have varying stories and experience.

The hipster way

Check recipes off of Tik-Tok or that aren’t the most popular recipe videos. We might be missing some hidden gems with the algorithms. 

Homework

Look around for books articles and documentaries that cover the region’s food and history. Plan it out like a class assignment. Pick a place, a date and start researching.

Why researh
Food?

1) It’s a great way to connect with people since we all need to eat.

2) Some specific dishes have a variation important to an aspect of a culture’s history and it’s important to respect that.

3) Knowledge is power! … Just kidding. But it is fun to appreciate what some may overlook everyday.

Vietnam

Stop 1 on the journey! Let’s see what beautiful foods are found in this South Asian country.

Ghana

I couldn’t decide at first, but I think this west African country will be another wonderful stop on the food journey.

Hawaii

Aloha! After a long journey, there’s no place like the beach. Let’s see what’s on the menu.

Cuba

Another beautiful island. Let’s see how these islanders shape the Caribbean.
