Around the World in 80 Plates.
« on: August 08, 2012, 05:04:05 am »
I spotted a thermomix in the kitchen of one of the best restaurants in Hong Kong whrn I was watching the Food Network today.  One of the contestants was even using it but unfortunately I don't know what he was making with it

Its getting out there, but there are more families with them it seems, than chefs.

A lot of chefs have not heard of them at all.

UMMMM.  Would we do it by country alphabetically or randomly?  Or members choose a country.

Goodness we could almost make our own Forum Round The World Cook Book for Thermothingys.

I am in.

I could put my hand up for porridge for Scotland - can I get away with that one?

What will we do?

Choose 80 countries?  Nah that wouldn't work.

How about I  plan a trip around the world and ask for a recipe relating to that place and not move on until we have one? That might work.  We might not get 80 but we could get a fair few if I planned it right.

Since you want to do an Argentine dish we could start at Buenos Aires. Then I announce the next country  until we get back to Cairns.  The route may be convoluted and take some months no hurry but we cannoot move  to the next country  unless we have a dish from the current country.

We could all print a map or get the kids to draw one and connect the dots to see how far we travel.

Open  to any other ideas but we want no pressure. This could take years.


I can give hints for each country cuisine.

Mmm. I'll have to think about it. Perhaps Borscht from the Ukraine. Ma in law makes made  the best ever one.

Ok I am getting some ideas now for a route. So far we include Argentina, Scotland, Ukraine, Italy for sure any other takers?

I say we just need a dish not necessarily with the recipe but with a photo  to prove you cooked it.


We will fly, go by boat car, train and walk.  

Some things can be very simple as you can get vegemite on toast just about everywhere! Doesn't have to be hard but just a lot of fun.

If we are in  then I am packing my bag and in my bag I will pack something warm for the first stop after  Buenos Aires.

I will have to do some research. and I have the map I can use.



This map is in my office and the pins are places we have been.

I can place bigger coloured pins in it to the places we go.



First pin.
