The internet, The Web, technology, even television have done wonders for expanding our horizons. From the comfort of your home you can now explore the world. For me, nothing is more fun than discovering a new type of cuisine or a dish I’d never heard of before. Reading through recipes from other cultures is not only entertaining, but also educational. You become exposed to the main ingredients of a specific cuisine and then begin imagining how each dish will smell, look and taste. Even better is discovering a new ingredient! Discovering it’s uses in various world cuisines is a lesson in itself. For a great foodie adventure, start at The Global Gastronomer. This place has links to just about every type of food on the planet. If Indian food is the what you’re craving, let CyberINDIA and Indolink show you the best sites available (including Madhur Jaffrey’s Recipes on the Web and A Graduate Student’s Guide to Indian Recipes [downloadable cookbook circa 1990]). Basic Thai recipes can be found at most any comprehensive recipe site. For a more in-depth look try Bankok Cuisine or This is Real Good Taste. You can bounce from Berkeley, CA to Manchester, UK searching for that perfect Pad Thai recipe! If you do indeed find a new ingredient you may find help in it’s uses, pronunciation, and online purchase sources at one of these: Asian Ingredient Reference, Frieda’s, or Ethnic Tastes. Enjoy!
