Food is culture. I had the pleasure of helping make a cultural dish as part of a fundraiser for a cultural celebration. Hudut is a rich coconut soup served with fish and mashed plantains.

Ce journal culinaire explore trois plats français emblématiques que j’ai essayés et mangés : le steak-frites, les crêpes et les macarons.

Recently, I went to a Spanish cooking class in Barcelona, Spain, where we learned how to cook and prepare traditional Spanish dishes! 

Learn about traditional Maltese foods I have tried since being here for a month, and explore how the eating culture highlights the vast history of the Maltese (the people of Malta)!

Food in Rome isn’t just something you eat, it’s an experience. From Cacio e Pepe to Gelato, I learned how Italians turn simple meals into stories that connect people, family and culture.

In this field note, I explore local dishes and how culture and tradition play into the shape of food in my village in Senegal.
