(Leek & Scallion Dumplings) “Never judge someone by the way he looks or a book by the way it’s covered;For inside those tattered pages, there’s a lot to be discovered” — Stephen Cosgrove Current events made this one seem a little tricky to find my words. No place is immune from turmoil – political, geographic, social and …
France: Coq Au Vin
Getting right to the point. You cannot go to a French restaurant without seeing the timeless classic Coq Au Vin on the menu. And can you get some props for being so fancy and serving a dinner like this to your friends. The best part is it’s so much easier to make then most people …
Chile: Chacarero (Steak Sandwich)
How is it possible that there is only one week left to summer break? Last summer was a lot of sitting outside on the deck with no where to be. This summer, I think we have just stayed on the move, living out of suitcases – Florida, Costa Rica, South Carolina and Steamboat Springs. But …
Morocco: Chicken Tagine and Olives
Mark the date, here we are at the middle of July. (Holy moly, why is summer going so fast?) I finally used the tagine I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS because we got Morocco! And boy, was I kind of nervous I would ruin this dinner. Aside from the new tools, we were using new ingredients – …
Albania: Speca te Mbushur
(Stuffed Peppers) I promise we have a scientifically, random selection process for the weekly country, yet, we keep finding ourselves in the Balkan region. And here we are now in Albania.

Indonesia: Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice)
I didn’t let myself have the big Global Kidchen Facebook reveal to all my friends and family until I was able to be consistent in writing my posts. I was doing good. I’ve had something ready every Tuesday morning for the last couple months – didn’t know how to set the automatic timer – but …
Sri Lanka: Parippu (Lentil Curry)
Hey, Siri Lanka Each week a country name is drawn out of a cup – and in the whole wide world, we have found ourselves going back and forth a good amount between Asia and the Balkans. I promise it’s random. So, without further ado, we are back in Asia with a recipe from Sri …
Montenegro: Cevapi
We are heading back to the Balkan’s this week and trying out a recipe from Montenegro called Cevapi. And for a such a tiny, little country, they seem to have all the right things going on. They have coastline and beaches, mountains and canyons, history and culture. And even more amazing, it’s so abundantly scenic …
My Heritage is Japanese Karaage
My Japanese Influence I never thought we would get to the Japanese cuisine segment so early into this expedition, but here we are. Big time hooray. Actually, I am part Japanese and am SO proud of the story from which I came. I am so glad to be able to share my own family history. …
