USA

Local Milk BlogMany people have said that the USA is like a continent in itself. It would be impossible to count the amount of different customs and cultures which can be found across the 50 states. All of these unique societies come, of course, with their own delicious cuisines. But we’ve decided that the one type of American food which resonates most around the world is good old fashioned Soul Food from the Deep South.

One of the best known regional dishes from china’s extensive history is dumplings. These tasty treats date back thousands of years and are now eaten all across East Asia and beyond. Follow this simple recipe for Chinese dumplings and impress your friends with your knowledge of traditional eastern cuisine.

Spain

imgurSpain is world renowned for being a super laid back country with a relaxed attitude to socializing, lifestyle and food. Thanks to the never-ending bright sunshine of this Mediterranean nation, Spanish people have perfected a culture of sitting outside on sunny verandas and sharing multiple plates of tiny pieces of food known as tapas. If you would like to try putting on a tapas spread yourself,? grilled red pepper with garlic dip and champinones al ajillo are two great traditional dishes to include in it.

Brazil

bolsa receitaAside from bright sunshine, constant carnivals, idyllic beaches and rainforests and beautiful people, Brazil also boasts some of the tastiest national dishes around. Is there nothing this country can’t do? Brazilian meals are typically spicy, exotically flavorsome and filled with meat. Farofa is a staple part of the Brazilian diet which consists of fried cassava flour and whatever meat and/or vegetables you’d like to throw in. Find the recipe here.

Jamaica

Camille StylesIt’s hard to imagine a more idyllic tropical island nation than Jamaica. The land of reggae music, rum cocktails and palm trees swaying on pure white beaches is also the land of irresistible local dishes. One of the most iconic foods to come out of this lively isle is jerk chicken. Follow this recipe and serve with rice and peas to get that Caribbean beach feeling.

Turkey

the gouda lifeTreat yourself to some tasty and tantalizing Turkish cuisine and you could be forgiven for thinking you had just wandered onto the sun-soaked, bustling markets of Istanbul. This exotic country specializes in spicy home-cooked dishes and introduced the world to one of the most popular meals of all time; kebabs.

Fiji

Castaway FijiThink of Fiji and the first thing that comes to mind is relaxing vacations filled with stunning sea views and plenty of lounging on beachside hammocks. This Polynesian island has the ideal setting for sunny, chilled out holidays and it also happens to an island filled with delicious food. Kokoda is just one example of a refreshing seafood meal you can expect to enjoy if you ever travel to Fiji or any other South Pacific isle.

Germany

wikipediaFor most of the countries on this list we have explored main courses and savory snacks. However, when it comes to Germany, it’s the many dessert options that get our mouths watering. After all, what else could we explore from the land that brought us gingerbread men, strudels, black forest gateaux, marzipan and Berliners? All of these sweet treats are delicious, but you can easily find them at your local restaurant or grocery store. For something more authentically German, why not give baking a bienenstich (bee sting cake) a try?

Mexico

It’s hard to imagine anybody who hasn’t tried Mexican food at least once before. However, while we’re all used to fajitas, tacos and burritos why not try something totally different and slightly more authentic? This chilli soup recipe is a deliciously different take on the Mexican cuisine you’re used to

Thailand

yummy in my tumblyOf all the delicious dishes to come out of the Far East, Thailand’s Pad Thai is probably one of the most popular. This meal is healthy, nutritious, packed with spicy Asian flavor and surprisingly simple to make.

Australia

Wittewel SintenbuurtIt might have become a tired stereotype to associate Australians with ‘throwing another shrimp on the barbie’, however, there is some truth in the notion that Australian cuisine does revolve greatly around tasty BBQs on the beach. It makes sense, seeing as BBQ food is perfect for beaches and hot weather, two things that Australia certainly isn’t lacking. If you ever feel like throwing an aussie-themed get-together, these spicy barbecued shrimp are sure to be a big hit.

Egypt

Dyna’s Egyptian CookingTake your taste buds on a trip down the Red Nile, to the land of pyramids, Cleopatra, mummies and ancient gods. Yep, you guessed it – Egypt. This mystical country in the north of Africa is home to plenty of spicy, hearty regional dishes such as ful medames.

Everything ABOVE the Kitchen Sink: My husband and I recently moved into a new house. While we love most of the house’s features, I happen to dislike the amount of counter and storage space available in the kitchen. We have two small counters on either side of the sink, and several short and shallow shelves on either side of an empty nook above the sink. The cabinets that we do have, I’m too short to reach! I’ve taken up most of the available counter space and cabinet space already with most of our food, dishes, etc. but there was no where to hang up dish towels, or put sponges and wash cloths where they wouldn’t go sour. I figured the big empty nook above the sink would be a prime spot to store such things.
