On May 1st, 2025, I embarked on an exciting new culinary year with a grand ‘Culinary Expedition’ dedicated to preparing recipes from as many of 190 countries as possible spanning eight major regions of the world. This journey is a celebration of global gastronomy, bringing to life authentic dishes that embody the distinctive flavors, traditions, and cultural heritage of each nation.
