Seventeen years into my International Food Project, it’s become pretty clear that I’ll be lucky if I get to the middle of the alphabet before I die.\u00a0 The real problem is that I get enthusiastic for a while, do a lot of cooking, and then just get tired of it and go back to eating frozen food for months on end.\u00a0 Now that my children are vegetarians-that-don’t-eat-vegetables, finding recipes that even a couple of us will like is very hard.\u00a0 And if I can’t cook for my kids-that-won’t-eat-anything, it seems selfish to cook for just Mike and I.<\/p>\n

Still, after a few months of frozen food I’m hungry for some good homecook food so I’m going back to this project.\u00a0 And this means getting to date with my writing.\u00a0 I cooked all these cuisines in late 2016 and early 2017.\u00a0 I thought<\/em> I was done with “G” cuisines, but I discovered a few new ones: Gascon, Greenlandish, Gibraltarian and Guernsey.\u00a0 I also found other cuisines that come earlier in the alphabet.\u00a0 That, of course, is one reason why I’ll never finish this.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, here are the cuisines I did finish!:<\/p>\n

Bissau-Guinean<\/a> – My journey into this Portuguese inspired West African cuisine could have gone better.<\/p>\n

Equatorial Guinea<\/a> – Try as I might, I could not avoid making yet another dish of chicken with peanut sauce.<\/p>\n

Guinean<\/a> – I made just one dish from this neighboring country, fortunately it was good!<\/p>\n

Ghizhou<\/a> – Another tough country to tackle, but I found one good recipe<\/p>\n

Grenadan<\/a> – I tried, I failed, I moved on<\/p>\n

Guadeloupean<\/a> – Don’t miss the chicken colombo!<\/p>\n

Gujarati<\/a> – I found the most delicious beef kebab dish in this mostly vegetarian cuisine<\/p>\n

Guyanese<\/a> – I loved exploring this cuisine that owes so much to India<\/p>\n
