The Spanish conquest of the Aztec empire in the 16th century is believed to have introduced a wider selection of ingredients to their diet, particularly meat, poultry, dairy and rice. Today, Mexican cooking has reached the far corners of the globe, especially the USA-style version of the cuisine commonly called Tex Mex. In fact, traditional Mexican cuisine is so important that it joined UNESCO’s representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity in 2010.

food is often touted as ‘food for the soul’.
Korean food is commonly spicy, fragrant, and rich in flavour, with flavours like chilli pepper flakes, soybean paste, garlic, ginger, sesame, and sesame oil. For a taste of Korea, try agedashi tofu, mandu (Korean dumplings), and bulgogi, which is thinly sliced meat stir-fried with vegetables on a sizzling plate. Make sure you experience an authentic Korean barbecue where meats such as scotch fillet and short rib, as well as vegetables, are cooked on a charcoal grill.
Korean cuisine is highly regarded in many circles as a healthier style of cooking due to its focus on rice, vegetables and meats cooked without much oil. For example, there are hundreds of varieties of kimchi, a spicy fermented cabbage or vegetable side dish, which has been shown to improve gut health, as well as other benefits. This cuisine has evolved over centuries, but a number of outside forces have influenced Korean cooking. Korean cooking has picked up culinary influences from mainland China and the islands of Japan due to its location between the two global powers.
