Flavors of Europe

From the Silk Road gateway of Tbilisi, Georgia, and the rolling plains of Portugal’s Alentejo to the volcanic islands of Sicily and the chill highlands of Scotland, the European continent is a complex patchwork of landscapes, cultures, and cuisines. The tale of its tables is a celebration of local products augmented by the spoils of empire, the fruits of trade, and the enthusiastic embrace of meats, vegetables, and cooking techniques from North Africa, Asia Minor, and the Americas.
