Frequently Asked Questions:

I click on a recipe name, but there is no link to a recipe. Why?

"A list of dishes does not equal a list of recipes....yet. The lists usually come first. I cook every dish before I add a recipe. And that takes some time. Recipes that have been added show up as links on the country pages. If a recipe title isn't blue, the recipe hasn't been added yet.

"To add a recipe, I first research each one and find as many versions as possible to see what makes the core of the dish. I then try to cut each dish down to its essentials and, if needed, simplify it. Then I cook every dish and revise the recipe before I add it to the website. This involved process takes longer than I like, but it helps me ensure authenticity. Over time all your favorite recipes will be added and more!"

Why isn't there full information on all the countries?

"Whats4eats is currently a hobby. I have a regular job during the week and am only able to work on the website as I find time. My first priority is to research and build a list of the typical dishes of each country. I then add in recipes as I go."

Where does Chef Brad get his information on different cuisines?

"I research each country with books, in conversations and on the internet. I also shop at local ethnic markets and eat at ethnic restaurants in every city I visit (but primarily in San Francisco where I live). I gather menus, eat extravagantly and inquire about local customs in every state and every country I visit."
