Maybe you've heard the Spanish proverb that reads in English as, "Life is short but it is wide."

It's worth remembering because, for one thing, it's brief and to the point. But most of all, because it's true. 

Our time here on earth is short BUT we don't need to worry about running out of it. We each have enough time to experience the life we have to the full. And the secret in doing so is knowing how to sample its variety. 

The culinary tours and travelogues below and in the weeks to come will help you do just that by taking you through cities and countries all over the world. Among the places you will go are:

  • European cities, big and small, where come-hither pastries are the rule.
  • the Islands of Oceania, from the western shores of Australia to the Eastern Pacific.
  • countries in Asia where both the sights and the flavors are often brilliant and unexpected.

So as you review each article, let yourself explore each place and the foods that originate there. Then make a plan to follow the tips given -- whether to try a new recipe, plan a trip, or continue exploring from home.
