Making Food An Adventure

Kids are sometimes hesitant to try new food, especially when you say it’s good for them. Either they would think that it’s not tasty or perhaps there’s vegetable hiding in there somewhere. But demystifying a new dish can be easy, so long as you involve children in its creation – from doing the grocery list to purchasing the ingredients to helping with the cooking.

Hello world!

Hello World, indeed!

Three siblings are about to embark on a tasty quest. We’ll be traveling together (or individually) and will make it our mission to visit local markets, eateries and specialty stores and find new flavors and fascinating stories. Then we come back to our homes, sample our gastronomic finds and perhaps whip up something in our kitchens.

All these, we are extremely excited to share with you. Hope you hop along and enjoy what we consider the ultimate ‘food trip.’
