Argentina: Fire, Meat, and Wine
Argentina is synonymous with beef, but after two months exploring from Buenos Aires to Mendoza, I discovered a cuisine shaped by Italian immigration, indigenous traditions, and an obsession with quality ingredients.

Greek cooking operates on a simple philosophy: take the best ingredients you can find, treat them with respect, and share them with people you care about. Walking through Athens' central market or sitting in a Santorini taverna overlooking the caldera, you quickly understand that Greek cuisine isn't about complexity—it's about perfection through simplicity.

Lebanese hospitality doesn't start with hello—it starts with setting more food on the table than you could possibly eat, then insisting you haven't eaten enough. In Lebanon, the word "mezze" doesn't just describe small plates; it describes a way of life where meals become gatherings, and every gathering becomes a celebration.

Peru surprised me more than any other country. With 84 of the world's 117 ecosystems, it's a paradise for ingredients you won't find anywhere else. My month-long journey took me from Lima's innovative restaurants to humble picanterías in Arequipa.

Turkish cuisine doesn't just bridge Europe and Asia—it marries them, creating something entirely new from the union. Walking through Istanbul's Grand Bazaar or along the Bosphorus, you taste this geographical reality in every dish: Ottoman palace sophistication meets Anatolian peasant wisdom, Mediterranean freshness mingles with Central Asian spices, and the result is a cuisine that feels both exotic and familiar.

Four hours over live fire isn't cooking—it's a commitment to doing meat properly. Real asado demands patience: coals that burn down slowly, cuts that render fat for hours, and the understanding that good things happen when you refuse to rush the process.
Read more →Fermented Salsa
Transform regular salsa into something alive and complex through lacto-fermentation—time and beneficial bacteria create wild, tangy depths that regular salsa can't touch. After a few days of bubbling on your counter, what emerges is fizzy, funky, and almost addictive in its complexity.

Sunomono teaches you that technique can be more important than ingredients. Take cucumbers—something most people slice without thinking—and cut them with Japanese precision, dress them with perfectly balanced sweet-sour vinegar, and suddenly you have something that cleanses your palate, refreshes your spirit, and demonstrates why Japanese cuisine values restraint over excess.
Read more →Korean Kimchi
Controlled chaos in a jar—that's what kimchi really is. Salt draws water from cabbage, gochugaru adds fire, and time transforms everything into something that's part pickle, part condiment, part obsession. Good foragers know that the best flavors come from letting beneficial bacteria do the work.
Read more →Lebanese Tabbouleh
Real Lebanese tabbouleh flips expectations—it's a parsley salad with bulgur, not a bulgur salad with parsley. This isn't the heavy, grain-dominated version found in many Western interpretations. Authentic tabbouleh is blindingly green, shockingly fresh, and proves that when ingredients are perfect, the best thing you can do is get out of their way.
Read more →Moroccan Mint Tea
Watching a Moroccan pour mint tea is like watching liquid architecture—the arc of golden tea streaming from teapot to glass from an impossible height, creating the perfect foam that marks properly prepared atay. This isn't just making tea; it's performing hospitality.
