World Food Challenge Recipes

Resbaladera (Costa Rica) and Yoyos (Tunisia)

I have a great love of wonderful vegan food - and in particular of trying new cuisines, ingredients, methods and dishes from all around the world. In aid of this, in January of 2012 I decided to start featuring a country whose cuisine is 'underexposed' in mainstream media in an effort to learn more about their food and culture, and to share it with you as I learn! Each month a suggestion is taken from a reader and I cook and post as many recipes as I can within that month. I only post up the recipes that work well (as is my policy with all recipes on my blog), so you can be sure that I was happy with the result if I posted it!

Big thanks to all those who have requested countries! I am learning so much and I hope you are enjoying it too! If you'd like to request a country to be featured then jump onto this post and leave me a comment.
