A look at local food discoveries, whether it’s a particular dish or an ingredient, often with one or more recipes.
Raise your hand if you know anything about Comoros other than that, perhaps, it’s some islands, somewhere. Because that’s about as much as I knew about the country. I didn’t even know it was a country, I just thought it was some islands, somewhere, that belonged to another country. Officially the Union of Comoros, it’s a group… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #41 – Comoros
We’re back in South America on The Bread & Soup Project, and in the country on the continent closest to the majority of the US. It’s a country that I’d venture when most Americans think about it, they think in terms of drug cartels and guerilla fighting. And while there’s no question that those form… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #40 – Colombia
So, Henry headed to Peru to visit his family at the end of April. The plan was about eight weeks, but Argentina has once again more or less closed down its borders, this time even to citizens and residents (not 100% shutdown, but pretty close), and it now looks like he may not be able… Read More Dinner at Home, Solo

On to our last entry for this season’s airing of our man Stan’s tromping about in Italy. In the fifth and sixth episodes he heads to Tuscany and Sicily. All past comments on the show could be repeated here, so I won’t. Let’s go straight to the food. In Tuscany we get our kitchen demo… Read More Two Tuccis #3
We continue our run in Africa, which is just how the alphabetical “randomization” of this project had it turn out. This time, we’re in Chad, the immediate neighbor to the north of our last entry in the Bread & Soup Project, the Central African Republic. What do we need, or want, to know about this… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #37 – Chad
This “project” is only going to have three entries this year, since the season of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy only has six episodes and I’m covering two in each post. Episodes 3 & 4, our man Stan travels to Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia, spending much of his time in the major cities of, respectively, Bologna… Read More Two Tuccis #2
