About Alexandria Drzazgowski Ulmer

American cook and food writer behind The Foreign Fork, cooking a dish from every country

Alexandria Drzazgowski Ulmer is an American cook and food writer, and the creator of The Foreign Fork, a site built around cooking one meal from every country in the world, worked through the United Nations member states in turn. She grew up in Michigan and lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The recipes range as widely as the project demands, from Icelandic plokkfiskur to Jordanian mansaf and Kazakh beshbarmak, and the aim is a faithful home version rather than a fusion. Methods are written for an American kitchen, with substitutions where an ingredient is hard to source, and she is clear about where she has adapted a dish.

Four recipes on Mello, imported from foreignfork.com, mostly Icelandic and Jordanian.
