eat like a geographer

Recently inspired by the closing of the Conflict Kitchen, I've decided to continue their mission on a personal level. The Conflict Kitchen, located in the beautiful city of  Pittsburgh, served food of countries in conflict with the United States. They use "the social relations of food and economic exchange to engage the general public in discussion about countries, cultures, and people that they might know little about outside of the polarizing rhetoric of governmental politics and the narrow lens of media headlines" (2014. Conflict Kitchen). 

Food is a great, nonthreatening way to experience other cultures. Though I'm not the best at it, I love to cook. I'm pretty open to trying new things and enjoy experimenting with recipes. Once or twice a week I will make a popular recipe from another country.  I will use this as a platform for exploring the history, geography, and culture of that country, state, or region.
