Some of you may have bucket lists that include things like see the Pyramids of Egypt or go skydiving (One of those is also on my list. Hint: it’s not the latter.) I, too, have a bucket list, but mine contains a few more food items. Specifically recipes that I would like to try before I die.
To come up with my list I scoured the internet to see what other people had identified as their top recipes. There are actually lots of other recipe bucket lists out there (like this one and this one) that played a part in inspiring the recipes on my list. Ultimately I wanted to come up with a list of classic foods, ranging from easy to difficult. I tried to make the list of foods relatively diverse to include all my favorite cuisines.
Admittedly, this list contains things that I have already made and can cross off the list, so I am not truly starting at 100. But these things were on my list of recipes to try at some point or another.
So, without further ado, here are 100 recipes that I personally would like to make before I die, as well as recommendations for any of you who also have a bucket list of sorts. I would love to hear from you if you have one of your own and what you have put on it!
