World Cuisine from Travel by Stove

Discover food from around the world with Travel by Stove! I'm cooking one meal from every nation on Earth, from Abkhazia to Zimbabwe.

Visit me every Thursday for a new set of international recipes and a brief overview of the traditional foods in this week's country or region.

It's always a challenge to find recipes from around the world, so if you live or once lived outside the US and have a love for your nation's traditional foods, please send a few of your favorite recipes my way.

I love international foods and am fascinated by world cuisine and cooking traditions. (Now I just need to get my kids interested, too.)
