Happy New Year

It was a sumptous 2014 ... welcome to a more nutritious 2015.

Merry Christmas

Dessert

It's nighttime Christmas Day and by now, most specifically here in New Zealand, you've had your fill of the sumptuous food prepared by your family.  But whatever you may have prepared, large or small, simple or elaborate, always remember this---It's best to eat together with family and loved ones.

This is what Christmas is all about, good food, good company, good conversation, good times.  Each culture, each ethnicity will be celebrating and preparing food their own unique way.  Times may be hard and difficult, but the family that eats together will stay together.  Let the good times roll, Merry Christmas to one and all.

24 Monster Foods You Won't Believe Exist

One thing I love about writing a blog on food is the opportunity to discover new, exciting and exotic food and dishes by just clicking my mouse.  I love reading about food from Food Network UK.  I may not be able to taste it most of the time but I'm able to see how they look like, what ingredients to use and also imagine how they might taste!  Food is a very basic necessity coming first before clothing and shelter.  I personally believe that food must also be a human right, that no one should be deprived of food and access to food.  Not just any kind of food but edible, quality and nutritious ones.

For today, I would like to share with you something that I found on the Web - 24 Monster Foods You Won't Believe Exist.  The title itself already attracted me to the article.  Hope you enjoy and do get to try not just eating but making them yourself.

New food blog on the digital block

New Zealand's multicultural setting fuels the rise of new restaurants from different cultures.  From time immemorial fish and chips shops and takeaways run by Chinese and Indian entrepreneurs, there is now a myriad of cuisines from all corners of the planet.  This new blog on the block will highlight, discover, nurture, educate and promote multiculturalism through food!

Migration is also instrumental in making Kiwis more appreciative of food from many nations.  The traditional roast dinner has not been replaced really but new foods has been added like sushi, Pad Thai, nasi goreng, adobo, pork barbecue, and many more.  Kiwis have become more adventurous in trying new dishes, and surprisingly liking them.  The influx of overseas students from Asia, the Middle East, Pacific Islands, the Philippines, Africa, Europe and the Americas contributed to the rise and development of new places to eat.  All of these factors will be featured and shared in this blog.
