Embark on a Culinary World Tour: Exploring the Globe 24 Jun 2024

At the International Institute of Culinary Arts (IICA), we're passionate about igniting a love for different types of cuisine and culture in our students. Food is more than just sustenance; it's a journey that takes us across continents and through time. Today, we're embarking on a whirlwind world tour to explore some of the most popular and delectable cuisines from around the globe.

Aromatic Adventures in Asia:

  • China: One of the world's oldest and most continuous culinary traditions, Chinese cuisine is a vast and diverse landscape. From the fiery spice of Sichuan to the delicate flavours of Cantonese cooking, Chinese cuisine offers a symphony of tastes and textures. Think succulent dumplings, stir-fries bursting with fresh vegetables, and Peking duck with its crispy skin.
  • India: A land of vibrant colours and explosive flavours, Indian cuisine is a beautiful tapestry woven from regional influences and traditions. Spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric are the heart and soul of Indian cooking, creating curries, dals, and biryanis that tantalize the taste buds.
  • Japan: Known for its emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients and meticulous presentation, Japanese cuisine is a visual and culinary treat. Sushi, sashimi, tempura, and delicate noodle soups like ramen and udon are just a few of the iconic dishes that have taken the world by storm.

A European Extravaganza:

  • Italy: "La Dolce Vita" (the sweet life) extends to Italian cuisine, a celebration of fresh, local ingredients and simple yet flavourful cooking. From hearty pasta dishes like lasagne and spaghetti to wood-fired pizzas and creamy risottos, Italian food is a love letter to comfort and taste.
  • France: French cuisine is synonymous with elegance and refinement. From the rich sauces and delicate pastries to expertly prepared meats and cheeses, French food is an art form. Think of flaky croissants, decadent quiches, and the quintessential steak-frites.
  • Spain: Spanish cuisine is a vibrant tapestry of flavours, influenced by its Mediterranean location and rich history. Tapas, small savoury dishes meant for sharing, are a cornerstone of Spanish cuisine. Paella, a rice dish flavoured with saffron and seafood, and gazpacho, a chilled tomato soup, are other must-try Spanish staples.

A Culinary Journey to the Americas:

  • Mexico: Mexican cuisine is an explosion of bold flavours and fresh ingredients. Chiles, corn, and beans are the foundation of many Mexican dishes, from fiery tacos and enchiladas to comforting mole poblano and refreshing ceviches.
  • Peru: Peruvian cuisine is a fusion of indigenous Andean ingredients and European influences, resulting in a unique and flavourful repertoire. Ceviche, fresh seafood cured in citrus juices, is a national treasure. Lomo saltado, a stir-fry of beef, vegetables, and potatoes, and ají de gallina, a creamy chicken stew, are other Peruvian delights.
