The global cook
Craig Huntley 28, has been a dedicated chef for the last 12 years in top restaurants in London, working with top chefs such as Rowley Leigh, Paul Gayler, Dominic Chapman and Rose Grey and Ruth Rogers
Anselmo Machado 32, has been an ecommerce manager and webmaster freelance for several years developed a passion for blogging and social networking.
It all started one day when we were home chatting about travels and about Craig’s plans to travel around the world whilst gathering information to construct a book about traditional food preservation methods. This book intends to be not only true to traditions and history but also be based around photography, therefore we decided to create a blog and share the progression of the book with you all. If you’re planning to go travelling, hopefully this will come in useful for you as a rough guide, if not we hope you enjoy the stories, photography, recipes and culinary tips. The main reason we decided to create this blog is Craig will be out of the country for at least 2 years surrounding himself in all different kinds of cultures. Please feel free to ask questions or make comments directly in our blog and we’ll try to reply as usefully and as fast as possible. Enjoy!

The Olfactory Safari
How to time travel with the aid of spices and African cuisine.
Recently, I have begun to cook Ethiopian cuisine with the help of a cook book purchased at one of my favorite Ethiopian restaurants. I first began to experiment with Doro Wet (spicy chicken stew) and Doro Alicha (mild chicken stew), Yebeg Wet (spicy lamb stew), and Miser Wet (spicy lentils). Though I haven't mastered the art of making Injera, I have prepared a reasonably good facsimile of these dishes, which are among some of my favorites. That was until a friend prepared some dishes for our Shabbat meal. It was then that I realized that I needed to spend an afternoon taking a lesson from her in how to cook these traditional dishes. Like many people who have restricted diets and non-American palates, I learned to cook East and West African cuisine from both my mother and friends.
