World Peas

Elliot and I both enjoy cooking. We have our old, trusty stand-by recipes, of course. But we try to cook lots of different types of recipes, inspired by different cultures and representative of many different regions of the world.

It was only a matter of time.

That's right. We have decided to cook (at least) one recipe from each country in the world!!!

Wikipedia currently recognizes 245 "political entities" and so that's what we've decided to use as our list of countries. It will take us years. But we will do it!!! I'm determined. (At least for now.) It might be hard to find native recipes for some of the countries, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Here are the rules: 1) the recipes must be vegetarian (of course); 2) we will strive to cook main dishes; 3) if we cant find vegetarian main dishes we will look for side dishes but desserts will be a last resort; 4) we will try to make the recipes as authentically as possible, so no meat substitutes (like fake chicken) unless it is otherwise hopeless without the switcheroo.

I will publish the recipes on my recipe blog, and give you hyperlinks to the recipes. This post will become "THE MASTER LIST OF RECIPES" and I'll make a link on the right-hand side of the blog so that you can always click to this post.

So far we've made recipes from 19 out of 245 countries.
