Epcot Food and Wine Festival 2013


A major childhood dream came true in October....  I traveled to Disney World!!  I spent five nights at the Yacht Club Resort and took in as much magic as I could.  My trip luckily corresponded with the International Food and Wine Festival so I spent three days eating my way around the world.  They give you these cute little passports that get stamped once you eat at a pavilion and you can check off the item you tried.  In the end, I still came up short by 3 pavilions, which just means I'll have to go back and complete all 30 another year!


Terra Pavilion: Trick'n Chick'n w/ Basmati Rice
Brazil:  Seared Scallop w/ Ragout of Tomatoes, Peppers and Hearts of Palm

Everything was fabulous but my absolute favorite was the Harissa Chicken Roll in Morocco!  I didn't make it to Japan, New Zealand or France but one day I will!  I picked up the Food and Wine Cookbook and a few of these recipes are in there, so you can believe I will be making them at home.
