Hi everybody!
I'd like to step up my cooking game and if you would too this thread is for you. I'm by no means a professional and don't even have a fully stocked kitchen but I do enjoy cooking and would like to do some new things in the kitchen. I wanted to do a 52 recipes in 52 weeks type challenge but then I'd have to wait 6 months. Being the impatient person I am I decided to go for a condensed version. Maybe if this takes off we can do a full 52 in 2015.
On to the challenge itself: The challenge is to do 26 recipes in the last 26 weeks of the year. It's always fun exploring the cuisine of different cultures and I'd like to keep a weekly theme so I decided to do a new country every week starting July 1st. I did countries with national holidays in those weeks. You can choose any country listed in the week we are currently doing and in week 16 do anything you want. I apologize if any country is missing, in the wrong spot or any other inaccuracy. Feel free to correct me in the form of replying or preferably by PM. I'll edit the OP as soon as I can.
I want this to be an inclusive challenge meant more to actually help us grow as people and less getting in the way of our everyday lives. The recipes can be anything from the countries listed; breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizer, entree, dessert, drink, etc. On the other hand to keep this thread engaging and fun I'd ask everyone to post pictures and recipes if possible.
Sorry this only leaves 12 days for signups if you want to get in by week 1 and do the full 26 but even if you're catching this thread half way through and just want to share one or two recipes you tried out that's perfectly acceptable and still an accomplishment you should be proud of.

By the end of this I hope to be an expert in Japanese Cuisine as well as many others.
