Globe Cooking Mad

Ever since the focus of the blog became food, I have been so charged up to cook. To make it even more interesting, I signed up for a few challenges but for most of them, I was not eligible. Reasons being a new blog, no recipe index, less than 100 recipes etc.. Fair enough, I am going to work on it. So to keep up with the spirit of exploring and cooking out of my comfort zone which will be adventurous, I decided to come up with my own challenge.

Globe Cooking Mad Project 

Cook a meal from each country (even if it is not recognized, border issues, political issues.. you get the drift right?) in the world. So calling this madness as Globe Cooking Mad. I will try to keep it as authentic as I can, but factors that may alter it would be our taste-buds and availability of the ingredients. It will be tough to source the ingredients from where I live, I will try my best to get my hands on it, else will use alternatives. Moreover, I may not have tasted the dish I intend to make, so solely relying on online and offline credible sources. Though this is a project, I have no intention to keep a deadline, it will go on...

Here are a few rules that I would be following;

• Cook one item per country - hoping to go for around two to cover more.
• Alphabetical order - exception if I do not get the ingredients
• Only halal recipes
• No self-imposed deadlines
• Use substitutes or alternatives when needed
• Cut down the recipe to 2 servings
• Tag as #globecookingmad

This will not stop me from blogging my regular posts. This is just another section to my blog which will showcase my trials of world cuisine. I don't know how far I can go with this.. telling the world about my plans will keep me accountable. :-)
