I am known amongst those closest to me to be a woman who loves to cook but also an extremely picky eater. It is these two things that led to this challenge.
With the help of my sister, I will cook every single one of the recipes from Allegra McEvedy's 'Around the World in 120 Recipes', aiming to do three recipes a week. Why this specific book you ask? Well, it's simple - we wanted adventurous and varying recipes and this book gets great reviews!!
Follow this blog and you will see how my tastes progress as I experiment and how we inspire our weekly menu. We're cooking each dish for a family of three adults and a toddler. Obviously some of the recipes won't necessarily be suitable for the toddler but we'll try and vary as many of them as possible so that she can enjoy the experiment too!
The whole household is looking forward to this challenge because, like many others, we have dug ourselves into a little bit of a food rut. With three working adults, all with their own favourite dishes, it becomes more and more difficult to come up with new and inventive dinners that aren't too time consuming to make.

So, challenge accepted! Lets see how this goes!

Banana Daiquiris (Cuba and the Caribbean)


We decided to start out easy with a delicious-sounding cocktail. 
Well....delicious to Soph, I dislike banana! 
I've not been a fan for as long as I can remember - although I don't remember particularly objecting to them as a child. I find I don't like the taste or the texture - although I can deal with the taste and I do like rum so it's not that big of a stretch that I could like this.
So we decided to give it a go and here's the result! 

And the result is.......It's actually pretty delicious! Who knew? 
We can officially add liquidized banana to the list of the things I now quite like - so long as it comes with a fair amount of rum in it!
