Around the World in 80 Meals

The idea of this blog is to enjoy typical meals with people of 80 different nationalities who live in the Netherlands and the UK. Both a culinary and cultural journey for me personally and a way to shed a more positive light on the "multicultural society". Some tips: *Recipe links can be found in or at the end of the posts. *Looking for a certain nationality? Use the "Search this Blog" function!

About Me

80meals: I'm Dutch/American, 29 years old, and love getting to know new people and new cultures. Plus I enjoy a good meal! So what better way to combine these interests than through this blog? The idea is to talk to my hosts about what role food plays in their life, who taught them how to cook, what differences they see between local (food) culture and their own, etc. I started out in the Netherlands, but continued the project after my move to the UK in 2007.
