A Sense of Purpose

This is a blog about food memories.

Having both lived in or visited many countries between us, we are documenting the delights, differences, and challenges related to cooking and eating. The whole world over we eat (and cook!), and as it is often a focus of interaction for visitors and inhabitants alike, it is a subject that everyone has an opinion on!

We will see where this leads but the range of eating styles often highlights other aspects of cultures; some practical, some traditional and some philosophical. Moreover, people's attitudes to food permeates their social experience: from eating on the run in a fast food culture where families no longer meet for a meal around the table, to the long, leisurely French weekend lunches that begin with an apero at noon and end sometime around six, several courses later. The time we allot to a meal is often also the time we allot to family and friends.

This is a place to relive that time spent over a holiday meal with family and friends; alone with a good book and a muffin; and all the places in-between where the memories are enhanced by food. This is about your food experiences and ours. We are one world family, united by a common love and interest - and here we invite you to share your recipes, your favorite flavors, your cultural explorations through food, and those meals you will never forget.

Please email us your contributions through our profile email address. Feel free to attach photos (food only please, no faces), for if we can not personally savor the flavors that you so ardently remember, at least we can salivate over images of them.
