What is Globalisation?
Globalisation is when different parts of the world connect. People, ideas, knowledge and goods move more easily around the world, and people start to have more in common. Examples ⁃ large businesses -> McDonald's and Amazon, which have a global presence; ⁃ international commerce -> DR, a car with parts from China sold in Italy; ⁃ cultural exchange -> K-Pop music, from South Korea; ⁃ social media platforms -> Instragram, connecting people worldwide.

Why?
Tuscan cuisine, rooted in Etruscan traditions, emphasizes simple, high-quality ingredients like olive oil, truffles, and grapes. Over time, Roman and Medieval influences shaped its rustic style, giving birth to "cucina povera"—a resourceful cooking style using stale bread, beans, and vegetables in dishes like ribollita and panzanella. The Medici family refined the cuisine during the Renaissance, introducing multi-course meals and new spices. In 1891, Pellegrino Artusi’s cookbook helped spread Tuscan recipes throughout Italy. Today, the cuisine is defined by seasonal ingredients, slow cooking, and grilling. Dishes like ribollita, pappa al pomodoro, and bistecca alla fiorentina showcase Tuscany’s emphasis on fresh produce, meats, and artisanal bread. Famous wines, such as Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, continue the region’s winemaking legacy. Tuscan sweets like torta della nonna and cantucci highlight the rustic, nutty flavors of the region.

Today, the twice-baked almond biscuit known as cantuccio in Tuscany and biscotti globally has become a versatile, internationally popular product. Major food companies like Mondelez, Nestlé, and Britannia have embraced biscotti-style products, adapting them to meet rising global demand for convenient, health-conscious snacks. Often reformulated to be gluten-free, vegan, or low-sugar, biscotti now appeals to a wide range of dietary preferences.
Once a traditional Italian dessert, biscotti has evolved into a breakfast and snack staple, with the global breakfast biscuit market projected to grow from $4.1 billion in 2023 to $7 billion by 2033. In the U.S. and beyond, producers like Nonni’s and La Dolce Vita have introduced creative flavors such as pistachio-cranberry and espresso-chocolate. Home bakers contribute to this innovation with ingredients like cardamom or nut butters. Widespread supermarket and online availability, along with social media influence, have transformed cantuccio into a globally recognized and customizable treat.

Japanese culinary culture has ancient roots, beginning in the Jomon Period (14,000 BC–300 BC) and evolving through the Yayoi Period (300 BC–300 AD), where rice became a dietary staple. In the 6th century AD, the spread of Buddhism introduced vegetarian practices, leading to a focus on vegetables like daikon, edamame, and tofu. During the Nara (710–794 AD) and Heian (794–1185 AD) periods, contacts with China brought new ingredients like soy, ginger, and tea. The 16th century, with European trade, introduced sugar, spices, and ramen. The Meiji Restoration (19th century) saw European culinary techniques and the introduction of curry into Japanese kitchens. Today, Japanese cuisine is marked by ingredients like algae, fish, shiitake mushrooms, and noodles such as udon and soba. Distinctive condiments like wasabi, mirin, and rice vinegar add flavor to dishes, reflecting Japan's respect for seasonality and natural ingredients.

Daifuku, meaning "great luck," is a traditional Japanese sweet made by filling mochi with sweet red bean paste (anko). Originally known as “Harabuto Mochi” due to its round shape and ample filling, it evolved from Uzura Mochi during the early Edo period. In 1875, a woman in Koishikawa miniaturized the snack and sweetened the bean paste, giving rise to the modern daifuku. Initially, due to sugar scarcity, daifuku often contained salted rather than sweet red bean filling during the Meiji and Taisho periods. Today, daifuku is enjoyed during New Year and spring festivals. Its popularity has inspired global adaptations, such as the "Tiramisù Mochi"—a 1980s invention blending coffee-flavored mochi with a tiramisu-style cream, merging Japanese and Italian culinary elements. Since 2013, Japanese culinary culture, including daifuku, has been protected by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage, ensuring the preservation of its traditional recipes and methods for future generations.

The origins of Senegalese culinary culture trace back to the 12th–16th centuries, during the rise of the Wolof and Jolof Empires, which established early agricultural systems and rice cultivation. In the 15th century, Portuguese traders introduced new crops like maize and cassava, while Christianity spread among coastal communities. Under French colonial rule in the 19th century, Senegalese cuisine absorbed European ingredients and techniques, including tomatoes, curry spices, and Asian rice. After gaining independence in 1960, Senegal embraced its culinary heritage as part of national identity. Today, Senegalese cuisine is one of Africa’s richest, blending North African and French influences. It features vibrant, communal dishes made in one pot with rice, millet, peanuts, vegetables, meats, and fish. Notable dishes include Thieboudienne (fish and rice stew), Yassa Poulet (marinated chicken), Mafé (peanut stew), and millet-based desserts like Couscous Thiakry, showcasing a diverse, flavorful, and shared food tradition.

Ngalakh, meaning "to make porridge" in Wolof, is a traditional Senegalese cold dessert made from millet or peanut cream, baobab pulp, water, and sugar. Originating during the Colonial Period, it was created by Creole Christian women in Senegal as a sweet dish to celebrate the end of Lent, particularly on Good Friday. Over time, Ngalakh became central to Christian rituals and spread further with the establishment of the Protestant Church in 1863. Between the 1930s and 1970s, it evolved into a powerful symbol of interfaith harmony, as Christians shared it with Muslim neighbors during Easter, reflecting Senegal’s values of hospitality, peace, and religious coexistence. Unlike many globalized desserts, Ngalakh remains unique to Senegal and its diaspora, preserving its culinary heritage without widespread international diffusion.

Pernambuco’s culinary culture originates from the Indigenous Xukuru, Fulni-ô, and Kapinawá tribes, who developed early techniques like pirão and paçoca, and dishes such as tapioca and pamonha. These were prepared with local ingredients and paired with wild meats and seafood. From the 16th century, Portuguese colonization introduced European and Asian foods, merging with Indigenous and African traditions, especially during the sugar boom (Ciclo do Açúcar), which brought enslaved Africans to work in sugar production. This cultural fusion occurred in both the kitchens of plantation owners and the senzalas (slave quarters), giving rise to Pernambuco’s distinctive culinary syncretism—marked by contrasts in taste, texture, and ingredients. Influences from Dutch, French, Italian, and Japanese cuisines were later incorporated, enriching the local food landscape. Today, Pernambuco’s cuisine features dishes made from cassava, corn, coconut, beans, meats, palm oil, and seafood, balancing Indigenous delicacy with African boldness, while globalization continues to shape urban food trends.

The “Bolo de Rolo” is a traditional Pernambucan roll cake inspired by the Portuguese “Colchão de Noiva” and created in the 17th century by African and Portuguese women during the Sugar Cycle. Due to the scarcity of almonds in Pernambuco, African cooks replaced almond cream with guava paste, creating a new filling. The dough was also modified to a biscuit sponge for better structure, with thin, compact layers rolled into spirals. Over time, it became a refined dessert among the elite and eventually spread as a popular cake found in bakeries, airports, and homes. Today, it’s offered in many variations, including “Dulce de Leche,” and serves as a gift or celebration cake. The original recipe, passed down orally, is hard to define, and its legacy is safeguarded by Law No. 13,436 and the Slow Food Movement, preserving it as a cultural and intangible heritage of Pernambuco with emphasis on local ingredients and traditions.
