Jot your thoughts down!

Over 35 years of teaching are a bit too much. So, as soon as I've retired I've started enjoying other everlasting pleasures... cooking and eating!
I've realized that cooking from different countries turns out differently when you cook it away from the native place. It also happens when you try to cook something from your own country somewhere else; ingredients are not or do not taste exactly the same, the water might have a different mineral composition, the weather, the people... What do you think? Help me with these thoughts!!! I need ideas. Any books you would recommend? Any films to watch? Ideas welcome!

I'm going to develop these ideas further as I try to explain my experiences while travelling to different places! I'm ready for any exchange in cooking. Do you dare?

What a joy! I never thought being retired would be so gratifying!
