Our journey around the world will tantalize our taste buds along the way. With the world becoming more globalized, many countries are able to ship export and import various foods and cooking products. Many of the foods people frequently eat today are the product of globalization. The cooking styles and ingredients also vary from region to region. The search for spice was one of the earliest driving forces of globalization. While in some areas of the world, traditional foods remain the heart of a culture, many other regions are incorporating new found food into their culture. The development of regional cuisine styles has been influenced by bordering countries and migration, local availability, history and economic environments. I feel it is important to be aware of traditional meals yet, I also feel that our palate has evolved and incorporating new concepts with traditional methods is a recipe for a fantastic time. You will find that many of my recipes employ an infusion of taste, appearance and tradition. This book contains traditional ingredients and cooking styles that have been infused with other cultures from various regions around the world. I hope you will have as much fun reading about the many regions of the world, as you will when you cook these treats of the palate. Food in all its essence and quality and colors, should be enjoyed by everyone.
