10 of our most popular dinner recipes from around the world. Travel overseas without leaving your kitchen and enjoy the tastes from exotic locations.
One reason I love to cook popular dishes from around the world is that there is so much you can learn about a foreign culture, without leaving home. For example, shopping for a couple of different ingredients from say, a delicatessen, can lead to all sorts of discoveries in the world of food. Here is a link to an excellent Ted article on the subject of multi-cultural foods.
