Day 80, Coming home, Christmas special

This is it. My culinary tour around the world has come to an end. Today, I just drank a cuppa'. I didn't feel like cooking because I don't want to let this project go just yet. I will make a nice Christmas dinner in a few days and that's what I want to leave you with. A feast. Around the world in 80 days goes out with a bang!

I learned more about the world, seen a lot of nice places in Birmingham, UK, my adoptive town, found out that I can go on for days on Chinese food, simply adored Indian cuisine and will learn how to cook it properly, I promise.  My signature dish for this project was quiche and I thank heaven for this discovery, I think I will experiment a lot with quiche since, it is, in itself an experimental recipe.

An extra page with acknowledgements will be added so that I can properly thank all those that made this possible, fun and interesting for me and the project. Probably the first one that will be mentioned will be Jules Verne. His books, and in particular 80 Days Around the World made my childhood thrilling and exciting, and led me to this beautiful experiment. Phileas Fogg is an inspirational character. Just google it, you'll see I'm telling the truth.

Saturday Christmas dinner and pictures.

Enjoy every dish that you make and always share it with loved ones. Happy Christmas and A Great New Year.

Later edit: Pictures as promised.

  1. Lulu,

    I just finished reading your journey here (found your story on CouchSurfing!) and I must say I am duly impressed! What an inspiration you have been and how creative you are :D Thanks to you I think I will embark on a culinary adventure of my own soon, though your project will always stand on its own as the original ;) This was such a fun idea and I enjoyed very much your writing and photography. I only wish I'd been there to sample your experiments! Well done (no pun intended)!
