The BBB Passport – exploring the world through food

Thanks to all the people who voted for my first entry in the Project Food Blog competition – I made it through to the second round!

Challenge #2 of the competition is  all about cooking international food, that takes you out of your comfort zone.

Spending hours in the car travelling through the country over  the last few days, I had plenty of time to think about my style of cooking and whether I was, in fact, someone that likes to try new cuisines.

Reflecting on my blog posts, it became apparent that the BBB passport has collected quite a few travel stamps this past year when exploring the world through food.

And I didn’t even need to leave the kitchen!

I had a seafood risotto in Italy,

A spicy laksa in Malaysia,

and a pad thai in Thailand.

 

I enjoyed the falafel in Turkey,

warmed up with a bowl of soup in Wales,

munched on babaganoush in the Middle East,

and loved the burger in the States.

The paella in Spain was impressive,

As was the Indonesian satay,

 

And the pizza slices in Naples…

 

I loved the pancakes in Canada…

The chilli con carne in Mexico,

and the curry in India.

The dumplings in England were divine,

 

And I loved the crunchy dukkah from Egypt.

The fufu in Africa were a real treat,

As were the curries in Ethiopia,

And the sushi in Japan.

But at the end of the day, it was nice to return home to Australia, and enjoy a little pavlova and a couple ANZAC biscuits for dessert.

 

A wonderful food journey -  completed in the comfort of my own home, but stepping outside the comfort of my own cuisine. Food really can provide a fantastic way to explore the world – minus the costs, jet lag and heavy suitcases!

Who knows where the BBB passport will take me in the future???

Happy Baking :)
