What we’re about
This is a group for people who enjoy cooking and baking and love to eat good food. All skill levels are welcome. This is a great opportunity to hone your gourmet cooking skills, share recipes and learn new recipes, and meet some interesting people who share your passion for good food. I started this group because I'm particularly interested in international cuisine. I miss the selection of great restaurants I used to have when I lived in Washington, DC. The Upper Valley is a bit limited in this area, so let's get together to have some fun cooking our own international cuisine. We meet once a month for a potluck and vary the themes, i.e. Moroccan, Greek, etc. I also try to organize guest speakers and kitchen tours at some of the Upper Valley's finest restaurants. Come join the fun!

Australian cuisine is the food and cooking practices of Australia and its inhabitants. Australia has absorbed culinary contributions and adaptations from various cultures around the world, including British, European, Asian and Middle Eastern.
Australian cuisine in the 21st century reflects the influence of globalisation, with many fast-food restaurants and international trends becoming influential. Organic and biodynamic foods have also become widely available alongside a revival of interest in bush tucker.[2] Australia exports many agricultural products, including cattle, sheep, poultry, milk, vegetables, fruit, nuts, wheat, barley and canola.[3] Australia also produces wine, beer and soft drinks.
The cuisine of New Zealand is largely driven by local ingredients and seasonal variations. As an island nation with a primarily agricultural economy, New Zealand yields produce from land and sea. Similar to the cuisine of Australia, the cuisine of New Zealand is a diverse British-based cuisine, with Mediterranean and Pacific Rim influences as the country has become more cosmopolitan.
Historical influences came from British cuisine and Māori culture. Since the 1970s, new cuisines such as New American cuisine, Southeast Asian, East Asian, and South Asian have become popular.Source: Wikipedia
