If you like good food, cheap or high-end, and follow the well-known restaurants around the world, you know the restaurant El Bulli in Spain. It is known as the number one restaurant on Earth. Probably not many people (including me) actually get to taste their food but it has always sat at the top of my dream list. |
Memory of Haiti
January 17, 2010
Needless to say, the world witnessed one of the saddest disasters in our lifetime in Haiti last week. We lived in Haiti for 2 years and we have a very special connection with Haiti. So it was devastating when we heard the news. We don't know if our Haitian mother, Chloe, who took care of us during our time there is safe. We can't contact her. |
Holiday Food Part 5 - Japanese New Year Meal
January 1, 2010
Happy New Year! I hope this year will bring you a lot of happiness and great food experiences. New Year's Day is probably the most important holiday in Japan. We start the first day of the year with a traditional new year meal called "osechi". In the modern days, we start calling only the meal during the new year "osechi" but originally it meant the meal to offer God on the holidays. Traditionally, we fill up with a parade of food in a four-level square lacquered box. Each food inside has a special meaning. For example, black beans are a wish for healthy living; herring eggs are for prosperity and so on. |
