Cook one meal from a different country every month. I've always loved cooking and I have a partner who is equally as enthusiastic to eat it with me! The foods have to be something I've never cooked before. Some can be ones I've eaten before, so I have something to compare to. I'm thinking of starting with traditional foods from Afghanistan, Russia, Ethiopia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Uyghur...
Do you know sorted foods on youtube? They have a bunch of different series, one where they do just that, going in alphabetical order from A-Z and then drawing a random country starting with that letter, and then cooking the national dish plus some community recommendations. It's quite fun!
Oh, no I haven't, but thank you for the share, I'll go take a look. Going out to eat has gone up in price so much that it is pushing me to learn to cook my favourite dishes, and explore flavours I would otherwise never have tasted before.
Something else I had planned to do was once a month, my partner and I write down three countries (six between us) we want to visit or re visit on small pieces of paper. We put them in a cup and draw three countries: First is the main meal, second is dessert, third is an activity.
Definitely more effort involved but it gets him to expand his culinary skills past pasta and chicken wraps.
That sounds like an awesome idea, I might steal that! Thanks for the inspiration! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
