2.6 challenge - cooking 26 meals from 26 countries

I am an amateur cook.  I love food, and cooking, and am currently grateful that we have plenty to eat when so many do not in these strange times.  People in every country are facing the same struggles and we are all in this together.

As part of the 2.6 challenge,  I am challenging my culinary skills by asking local friends to nominate 26 different countries, so I can research menus from my enormous. international cookbook collection & attempt to cook authentic food from 26 different nations/cuisines.  

I will be posting regular photos on Facebook of the results, along with reviews from my family.   I can only seem to post a single update on here, but all meals are featured on the Facebook page, St Albans Lockdown 2.6 cookery challenge.

All donations received go directly to the St Albans and District Foodbank.

We have dear friends who could not have survived life without help from the Trust, and this will go some way to offer our thanks for the good that they do, and the hope they offer to local families.

Save the UK's CharitiesGeneral fundraising has been hit very hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of fundraising events have been cancelled and many charities, particularly smaller ones, are struggling to maintain services because of this huge reduction in income.This impacts all sectors of society from children to the elderly as well as the vital work in areas such as palliative care, serious diseases, mental health, housing support, food supplies and countless others that charities support.
