Our world is getting smaller and smaller—our ubiquitous electronic umbilical cords never let us forget that something on the opposite side of the earth can have a great impact on our lives and local communities. But our culinary horizons are also widening, especially when it comes to the vast universe of new foods and beverages that we can access now. Home cooks don’t necessarily stick to the old family classics anymore but search out new and different flavors from many cultures to experiment with, a practice I am completely on board with. I subscribed early on to the travel/cooking/culture magazine Saveur, and had I known that Anthony Bourdain’s job was a possibility, I think my cultural anthropology degree would have made more career sense.
        Here at KLWM we have always been advocates of cross-cultural exploration and love to pass on stories of our food-and-drink-filled visits to producers, the minutia of wine pairing with the cuisines of other cultures (for example, did you know Viognier goes great with Moroccan food?), and in which tiny specialty shop to find Indonesian long pepper.         
        Food and wine should bring us all together, literally and metaphorically, so why not use this sampler to help set our global table? –Jennifer Oakes
