1,000 Foods to Eat Project

Last year, I purchased the book 1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die, by Mimi Sheraton. The back of the book jacket states that the book contains “the tastes, ingredients, restaurants, dishes, and recipes (more than 70) that every food lover should experience or dream about.” As I am a food lover, I certainly didn’t want to miss out on anything, so I purchased this book and began my project.

My project is to try out each of the 1,000 foods. In the meantime, I will say this book has a wealth of information about world cuisines. I find it an absolute joy and challenge to take on this project, and my hope is that you’ll come along with me on this journey and try out these foods as well.

The world is an amazing place, with so many places to see, foods to eat, and experiences to enjoy!

Please join me on this journey of exploration!! Here we go!
