I recently developed a fascination with foreign cuisine and like to experiment cooking a different dish every week. It is a real fun!

It's true! Where are you from and where is foreign to you?

Well, wherever the OPer is from, everywhere else is foreign!

P.S. The OPer reminds of the one hereon who posts half her face. I can't think why.

I am from UK and I am very interested in Thai, Indian and French cuisine although I must admit I am not the best cook but at least I try to improve my skills :)

OK :)

I like all three cuisines you mention, Jasmine, though there's often too much coconut in Thai, for me. French cuisine is undoubtedly superb. Indian cuisine can be excellent but it's often a poor imitation of what it might be - the stuff made by many take-aways and zappable supermarket meals are really not that good (unless one is inebriated!)

I am not the best cook I doubt if any poster hereon would lay claim to this either.

I really like this Indian cookbook

Noted with thanks, gengis - I've been using two of Jaffrey's books for some years. (I came across the 50 Great Curries book at least 20 years after my first Madhur one.)

For me.... Either Italian or Hungarian cuisine is the best 'Foreign'.
No surprise to many here, I'm sure.... I can't stand curry.
Two full on challenges.... The perfect pizza base and a 'Just right' - very difficult for me to achieve, Goulash.

Are you seriously suggesting, bb, that raw, pickled, Spanish pig ears is not in your Top 10 Cullinary Delights? (I suspect it is and you're just being coy!)
