Europe
All European countries.

Wine in Burgundy, Beaujolais wines

Food in the Spanish Mediterranean

Food in Belgium
Traditional cuisine in Belgium relies heavily in local food. Modern cooking is of a finer level and much more stylish, very close to French cuisine, but based in high quality local ingredients.
More than food in France
A French cook tries to bring out the flavor locked inside each simple vegetable and piece of meat, adding a little of this spice or that herb when food tastes too bland, balancing all the ingredients so no flavor overpowers the other.
Greek pantry
A benign climate allows Greece to grow several crops, apart from the traditional olives and grapes. A good variety of fruits, including the well loved lemons, and vegetables, eggplant and spinach within the selection, as well as wheat, and other grains are grown. Although the terrain is not favorable for cattle grazing, it is ideal for sheep and goats.
Tea scones
Serve tea scones warm with butter, whipped or clotted cream, and your favorite jam. Spread butter, top with jam and cream. Heaven.
