Sure, you could make extra effort to buy something different at the grocery store. Or we could think about how your staple foods would be prepared around the world.
Using broccoli as an example, think for a moment about how various regions of the world prepare broccoli. You could prepare it Italian style: sauté florets with garlic, oregano, and throw some marinara sauce and parmesan cheese on top. Middle Eastern style could be fun! Bake it with tahini, hummus, and spice it up with za’atar and sumac! Moroccan style could include roasting it with lemon juice, coriander, cumin, garlic, and some cinnamon! These aren’t the only ways to “Work the Globe,” Chef Google can be your best friend here.
