Welcome to The Traveling Cook Book, this is my world adventure via cooking. You may have heard of "Julie & Julia". One womans pet project, to take one year and cook her way through a French cook book. This tale was recently made into a film based on the novel by Julie Powell.
"Julie & Julia" the movie and novel have inspired me to embrace my love and passion for cooking and my excitement for trying new things. I am just not a steak and three veg kinda girl, sure every now and again but not every night. I have to have variety and be enticed by my food. It has to be a seduction for me or I would just rather not eat.
I also have the dream to travel, I long to explore the world and experience cultures and cuisine from around the globe. Sadly this just is not in my budget and I have family commitments as a wife and mother, so it is just simply something I can not embrace right now.
So being as stubborn as I am, I am fulfilling my dream in my own way. This is achievable now and will still allows me to enjoy cultures and to try different foods. I will also expose my family to the experiences as I go. A journey we can take together traveling via cook books.
I am going to pick destinations around the world and then research cuisine and recipes from the area and replicate them as best I can in my little kitchen in Australia. I plan to travel the globe without actually leaving my home or my country...my taste buds are going on a journey and your welcome to come with me.
All aboard The Traveling Cook Book, no passports needed.
