As I write articles on food and culture, I come across so many wonderful items that just can’t get included in my work.  This is an opportunity for me to share what I’ve found, hopefully inspiring you to try new flavors, techniques and aesthetics in your own home dining experiences.

Given my penchant for exploration, I am extremely lucky to live in the borough of Queens in New York City, home of an exceptional array of international communities.  Many of my finds are from right here.

I welcome your suggestions and comments.  The world is getting smaller – let’s take advantage of it.

Keep up with me elsewhere at Edible Queens, QueensNYC, and Fruit of the Forest.

Happy hunting . . . Anne
