I just found Vagabondish via Twitter–what took me so long?

Cooking courses are wonderful, especially if you can go shopping for the ingredients with the instructor. Learning not only recipes, but where to shop, how to choose ingredients, how to haggle, etc., makes the experience that much more memorable and “authentic.”

Thanks, Amanda, from one “great eater” to another!

In Ghana, I enjoyed kelewele (spicy fried plantains :d), red red (black eyed peas in a tomato sauce), jollof rice and groundnut chicken! When I was living in Berlin in my pre-celiac-and-still-eating-red-meat days, I definitely enjoyed Knödel and Currywurst.

I really enjoy your posts, Amanda. A lot.

But it really seems as though you’re the only one posting nowadays. What gives? Where’d everyone go?

I’m with you, Amanda–not a super chef by any means, but I heartily enjoy recreating dishes I’ve experienced on the road. Korean kimchi stew and Lao laap are two of my most frequent creations.

Food and learning about new cuisines and taste combinations is one the highlights of our journey. We love street food and fresh markets – its a great way to learn about a country and culture through its cuisine and relationship with food.

We have taken cooking courses in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and India. We now are continually on the look-out for Asian grocers to find specialty ingredients to cook Asian at home.

Food is the heart of a culture. The ethnic cuisines remain long after citizens of a country deal with changing political systems, migration of its people, or cultural hegemony from another power.

After visiting South America for a few months, my wife and I often make quinoa dishes. The Whole Foods bulk section is a great source for unusual grains. Sometimes we also make arepas.

In reverse, I try to research the food culture of places I plan to go next. I want to go to Italy soon. So, I have been making polenta, pasta, and gnocchi from scratch. Probably, when I get there, I will discover how poor my cooking is in comparison. However, I think it helps me to appreciate it even more.
