Around the Globe
Bringing World Flavors to Your Kitchen
Welcome to Around the Globe, your gateway to global cuisine. This category is all about making international flavors accessible to home cooks, no matter your skill level. From rare spices to unique techniques, these recipes take you on a culinary adventure without ever leaving your kitchen.
I’ve always found some cuisines intimidating to recreate at home—especially Mexican and Chinese food. But over time, I’ve discovered how to break down these dishes into manageable steps. My goal here is to help you conquer your own culinary fears. Whether it’s a dish with ingredients you’ve never heard of or cooking styles that seem complex, these recipes will guide you through the process with ease.
Some of the recipes in this section use exotic ingredients that might not be common where you live. I want to make those ingredients more simple and approachable. If they are hard to find, I want to suggest a suitable replacement so you can still enjoy the dish.
Around the Globe isn’t just about discovering new flavors—it’s about making them fit into your everyday cooking. You’ll find recipes from every corner of the world: savory stews from Africa, spicy curries from India, classic Italian pasta dishes, and more. Each recipe aims to give you the confidence to try something new, while still feeling achievable in your own kitchen.
Exotic cuisine doesn’t need to be daunting. With the right approach, you’ll find that preparing Mexican enchiladas or Chinese cold noodles can be just as simple as your go-to weeknight dinners. And the best part? You’ll learn how to make these dishes your own by tailoring them to your tastes and available ingredients.
So if you’re ready to expand your cooking horizons and impress your family or friends, dive into these recipes and bring a taste of the world into your home. Together, we’ll explore the incredible diversity of food cultures, one delicious dish at a time.
