I am writing this in the last few days of 2011. A journey over the last few month that has brought out the vast array of culinary and creative talents I didn’t know existed.
For a while I have been mentally listing various dishes of different cuisines that I want to make one day and finally as the wonderful year of 2012 approaches-what better way than to create this list for the New Year!
I am open to ideas and suggestions from my readers and will be adding items to the list as interest arises. Once I make the dish, I will cross it off and link it to the post!
