Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who visits us here at Cook Eat World. It's been a big year for us in a lot of ways. Visitor numbers have exploded and we're now in a great place to share more and more recipes in 2023. Thank you for all that left nice messages and comments about the food I've shared this year.

This year saw me cook and eat some incredibly delicious food and share some of my favourite recipes from all around the world. Throughout 2022 I shared recipes for my favourite dishes from Mexico, Italy, France, Greece, Laos, China, Malaysia, India, Turkey, Sri Lanka and Morocco! There was a lot to choose from, but I'm including those favourites that received most attention, or just simply the ones I cooked the most, or thought about the most.

What's next for Cook Eat World?

With a big move overseas mid-way through 2022, the food exploration hit new heights and 2023 will see so many of those transform into new recipes for you all. I stayed in Italy for a few months then on to France and Belgium... I've eaten some amazing dishes that are in planning and research stages. I'm still traveling as I write this, so once I'm back on solid ground I'll get cooking. Look out for some amazing Pasta dishes, an incredible French lentil recipe and a deliciously intense Belgian beef stew to name only a few.

So, let's look back at some of the best international recipes from cookeatworld from 2022. In no particular order because, everything is my favourite depending on when you ask me.
