TYPES OF CUISINE

2. Mediterranean Cuisine
 There is some debate if
there is actually a
Mediterranean cuisine.
This term mostly developed
in the 1970s when there
was a Mediterranean diet.
In general, it consists of
fresh fruits, vegetables,
seafood and olive oil.
Depending on who you ask,
it could include different
Greek, Italian, Arabic,
European or North African
dishes.

3. French Cuisine
 Say Oui, Oui to French
cuisine! Five-star chefs are
often trained in French
cooking. It uses cheese,
chocolate and baguettes for
delicious meals. Of course,
a French meal would never
be complete without some
wine! Despite their focus
on cheese, bread and
chocolates, the French
amazingly remain thin.
Perhaps eating more of this
cuisine could be a weight
loss plan?

4. Spanish Cuisine
 Spanish cuisine is exceptional
because it limits spices. Instead
of hiding the flavor of a dish with
cumin, chilies or pepper, it only
uses enough spice to bring out
the natural flavor of the food.
Due to its location along the
coast, Spanish food has a strong
focus on seafood. Famously,
cafes and restaurants in Spain
offer tapas or pinches. These
snack-sized dishes can be made
of basically anything and only
cost a couple of euros. Before
siesta, Spaniards can stop in a
local cafe and get a glass of wine
and a tapa for merely a couple of
euros.

5. German Cuisine
 From sauerkraut to
bratwurst, German is
known for its flavorful
dishes. Restaurant goers
can expect spatzl
(potatoes), rich varieties of
bread, cheese and
sausages. Even better, this
country is known for its
many delicious beers.
Surrounded by the world
famous cuisines of Italy,
Spain and France,
Germany has not gotten
the attention it deserves
from foodies.

6. Korean Cuisine
 Many people try kimchi
and give up on Korean food
for good, but this cuisine is
more than just kimchi. If
you have not had this dish
before, kimchi is a
fermented cabbage dish
that is mixed with vinegar
and spice. Other than this
common dish, Korean food
contains rice, meat, veggies
and seafood. It has a
unique flavor that you tend
to love or hate.
