Changes

I've changed the layout. You can now directly pick a recipe you're interested in by first clicking on the continent and then the dish. Everything is arranged alphabetically and some dishes are explained. First, I was going to make the usual division in starters, soups, desserts etc. but this isn't the purpose of this blog. This blog wants to show you the different nations of the world by their foods. A culinary world tour, you could say.
If you're not sure what to cook, you can still use the search function and look for words like 'tomatoes' or 'noodles'. Every post comes with lots of tags to make sure, you find what you're looking for. :)

If this is not working for you, please tell me!

8 slices of baguette
1/2 - 1 garlic clove (to taste)

1. Remove the tomatoe stem, cut the tomatoes in half and remove the core. Cut into small cubes.
2. Cut the basil into fine stripes.
3. In a toaster oven or your regular oven or with the grill function of your microwave: toast the baguette slices until crisp.
4. Cut the garlic clove in halb and then rub the toasted baguette with the cut face.
5. In a bowl, combine tomatoes, onions and basil. Add the olive oil. Mix well and taste with salt and pepper.



6. Just before you're serving the bruschetta, arrange the topping on the baguette slices. If you're doing it too early, the bread will get all soggy.
