Introduction
The world of food is a journey that excites the senses. From spice scented to rich infused flavors, each dish has a personal history. For those who love to eat and have always wanted to wrap their mouths around the head of a pig and taste everything it can offer, this guide is a roadmap.
Understanding Culinary Cultures
Exploring other foodways offers a pathway into other worlds. Each has its own flavors, born of history, geography and the ingredients available locally. Seeking out such traditions helps to expand our understanding of global foodways.
Exploring Asian Delicacies
Asian food is so wonderful with its harmonious taste and vivid colour. Meals usually incorporate all 4 tastes (sour, sweet, salty and spicy) alongside both texture and temperature, provided all harmoniously. From sushi to dim sum to bowls of pho, the depth of artistry in Asian cooking is amazing.
Embracing Mediterranean Flavors
Mediterranean cooking is all about fresh and simple. These are delicious dishes, full of fresh herbs, olive oil and lots of vegetables. Greek salads, Italian pasta and Mediterranean food brings that delight of dining and that good quality ingredients!
The Art of Pairing
The right beverage paired with food enhances the dining experience. When we see how flavours fit together, we can enjoy ourselves more, see how to make the most of what we have available – and understand more about what we are doing.
Wine and Dine
The right wine makes a meal exceptional. Seafood and poultry are often accompanied by white wines, and robust meats are generally better accompanied by red. Various wine varietals could lead you to discover various taste matches that you never knew existed!
Craft Beverages
Craft beverages (especially beers and cocktails) have an infinite number of pairing options. A bottle of hoppy beer can offset spicy food, and a glass of icy cold cocktail can cut through rich flavors. Variations with such options add zest to meals.

Sous Vide and Slow Cooking
