World Plate Adventures

About WPA

Hi, there! I'm Garrett Mills. I'm a software engineer with a passion for food.

Growing up in the United States, I have a very western-centric exposure to food. Over the past few years, I've started exposing myself to an increasingly broad range of international cuisine -- especially through my own cooking.

The biggest challenge I've run into is just how immense the world of food is, which can make it hard to decide on new cuisines to try. World Plate Adventures is my attempt to better do this.

The premise behind WPA is simple: each month, my partner Faith and I will choose a new country and spend a few days researching the food. Then, each week of the month I'll cook a new dish from that country.

My hope is that this will provide some much needed direction for my learning journey, and will help me discover even more cuisines. As you might imagine, this is a very long-term project.

(Not to be confused with the excellent Eating the World.)
