The World in Your Kitchen Calendar

I think my favourite part about ringing in a new year is choosing my new calendar. No, I don’t think, I know! Yes, there’s always the sense of “possibility” that comes with the start of new year, but for me the best way to see those possibilites is with a new calendar. I used to go a little overboard: 2 for home, 2 for work and sometimes 2 daytimers. Of course I really didn’t use them all but it was nice to look at the pictures every month. Now I look around for the ones that really catch my eye. This year I played it smart, I scoped out my choices before Christmas and went on Boxing day (December 26) to buy them at 50% off. So I was able to get 2 calendars for the price of one! Last year I tried going te 2nd week of January, when they were at 75% off, but all the good choices were gone. So… I did good this time around. I got a nice Tea calendar from Brush Fire for work and found THE BEST EVER calendar for home… it’s called “The World in Your Kitchen”.

It’s like someone read my mind! The calendar is published by New Internationalist Publications, it features a beautiful full colour illustration of a different country each month AND, the best part, a vegetarian recipe from that country.

Isn’t it pretty? The illustrator is Alana McCarthy and every single picture represents the colours and the “essence” of the country she’s depicting. I can almost feel the country from he illustration, she does and amazing job at bringing you into the culture. I absolutely adore it! AND it gives me another international recipe to try each month Yay! So, now I know that this year will definitely bring deliciousness, that’s one possibility that just became a reality!
