Food of the World

Food of the World, or global cuisine, is a characteristic style of cooking and traditions, associated with a specific region, country or culture that has spread around the world.

From European dishes like Beer Battered Fish, Liege Sugar Waffles, and Quiche Lorraine, to Mediterranean classics like Chicken Shawarma, Classic Rice Pilaf, and Albondigas (Spanish Meatballs), these recipes will help you travel the world from your own kitchen!

Foods from Asia, Ireland, Mexico, and Italy are personal favorites with a sizable collection of options to choose from.
