Introduction

It is said that food is an element that binds us all
together; truer words have not been spoken! Food is a
universal experience that all human beings share and
the love of food often brings together people of diverse
backgrounds and taste.

The sheer diversity of food across the country means
that our eating habits and styles are forever evolving.
