"Delicious Destinations" Exploring Foods around the world!

Monday, April 13, 2026, 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM

Explore the different cuisines around the world, along with their cultures and heritage! There are hundreds of cultures and cuisines across the globe, we challenge you, as 4-H independent and club members, to select a country and research the origins of the foods they eat and their culinary histories and traditions!

It’s easy! As a club (or independent member), pick a nation in the world you are interested in exploring! (No US regions). Over the next several months, gather information on the region’s cuisine, including styles of cooking or special dishes, and the history or origins of the food item(s) or recipes.

In planning for an evening that will be interesting and enjoyable for everyone, your club (or independent members) should be prepared to:

Share samples of a food/dish that is representative of your region/city with other participants.
All food samples must be prepared prior to the event, and prepackaged for distribution
Plan a short presentation (5 minutes max) to share what you have learned with others.
Put together a small display highlighting what you learned by participating in the project (i.e. posters, photographs, clothing, recipes, etc.)
