The 2013 Epcot international Food & Wine Festival got off to an amazing start this past Friday, Sept. 27th. Real Food Real Kitchens had the absolute pleasure of spending a full day there, tasting food and drinks from all over the world. We had such a fantastic time. I claimed it as 'The day I fell in love with food!', and that is no joke!

Real Food Real Kitchens has packed our bags and are heading to the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival this weekend. We can't wait! We couldn't think of a better way to research our upcoming series Real Food Real Kitchens 'International' than by visiting, experiencing and tasting many different countries cuisine and traditions all in one place. We are of course looking forward to just about everything that is in store for us including all of the tastes of the world in one location. It's going to be a taste-bud adventure!

We recently shot the first ever Real Food Real Kitchens Holiday Special. This episode is only available on the Real Food Real Kitchens website as a special ‘Thank You’ to our viewers!

Guest Grant Heaslewood shared his own twist on a traditional family recipe, Chicken Divan. Born and raised in Wimbledon England, his Mother would often make this dish for the family…something simple, quick, inexpensive and easy to make, that now holds a place in their families history for a long time to come. The word divan means meeting place which is fitting for this dish that is often served at church suppers or potlucks.

Hi!  We’re Kevin and Mark.  We have been cooking together for over 10 years.  Some of the best time we spend together is when we are cooking at home.  Cooking at our home is more than just preparing the meal for the day.  It is the time where we unwind from a stressful day at work, catch up with each other about what has been going on, and listen to music.  Since we both came from very different family backgrounds, we have both brought different recipes to our table that each one of us has never tried before. We love trying something new!  You should too, and we hope you’ll try our recipes and introduce them to your families.

These recipes are ones that have been passed down through many generations in Bill’s family. In his episode he shares the kitchen with his Mother as they make Beef Bracioli and Stuffed Manicotti Crepes.

Lucia prepared a traditional Brazilian Peixada for Real Food Real Kitchens. Peixada is a type of hearty fish stew filled with vegetables and spices.

Joanna and her Father share a traditional family recipe with Real Food Real Kitchens for a Polish beef stew… with an added family twist or two. This hot, delicious stew is perfect for the Winter months and you can make a big batch to last for days. Enjoy!

The Foley’s made an inspired Seafood Bake for the series. Peter Foley, the kitchen magician, made a simple yet knock-your-tastebuds-off cocktail sauce to go along with their seafood delight.
