#37 Namibia 🇳🇦🔥
Wood-fired flavors from Southwest Africa. We’re finally back to a country whose food culture I honestly knew almost nothing about before starting this project.

#27 Thailand
Hi and welcome back! Our little culinary hot air balloon brought us back to South Asia: specifically, Thailand! 🇹🇭 Thai food is already one of the best-known Asian cuisines in the world, probably just behind Chinese, Indian, and Japanese (and maybe recently being edged out by Vietnamese).

#26 France – Bretagne
Hello! Welcome back 🙂 This time, we’re back on my home continent.

#22 – Palestine: A Nation Denied its Rights
A little while ago I prepared a meal from Palestine, both as part of my international cooking journey and also wishing to call attention to a very important matter. As Palestinians continue to face relentless bombardment and displacement, I find it impossible to ignore the ongoing atrocities committed by the Israeli government in Gaza. Entire…

Welcome back! This week my hot air balloon of culinary discovery flew me back to Europe and landed in sunny Portugal!

Looking for a multi-course Papuan meal quickly began to look like I’m heading down the wrong direction and instead I found myself cooking PNGs national dish – Mumu. What really interested…

#19 Côte d’Ivoire – Coastal flavors in Vienna
Welcome back! This week my trip took me to Côte d’Ivoire, a bustling country in West Africa. For Ivorian cuisine, I once again was a bit stumped as to what people eat, where it comes from and what I would like to write more about. Côte d’Ivoire did not exactly make this easy for me.…
