- There are many different types of food grown, reared and caught around the world.
- Countries have different cuisines, based on the food available, cooking techniques, traditions and customs.
Keywords

Common misconception
Recipes from around the world can only be cooked using ingredients from those countries.
We can prepare and cook recipes from other countries using ingredients grown, reared or caught in the UK. Sometimes there are ingredients that are not grown or easily made in the UK, so foods from other countries are used.
