Hunt Starter

I am on this rather quirky and purposeless hunt for starter recipes. I intend collecting 200 of them by 31st Oct 2009. I mean 200 different kinds of recipes (not the kinds where you replace peas with corn and voila! another one!). I intend covering the following cuisines in the process:

1. Indian (there are 200 in them!!)
2. Chinese
3. Vietnamese
4. Thai
5. Middle-East (covering Turkey, Iran, Israel, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, etc.)
6. Egyptian
7. African (need to investigate this, but Moroccan is surely in there)
8. Mediterranean
   
9. Italian
10. American
11. Lebanese
12. Japanese
13. Spanish
14. Mexican
15. German
16. Scandinavian
17. Commonwealth (!!?)
18. Misc. (French, South American, etc.)

That is going to keep me fairly occupied!! La la la laa la!!

Of course, only vegetarian!!
