Cooks Without Borders, the cooking website that delectably crashes frontiers: state lines, national borders, states of mind. Our mission is to help make the world more harmonious and delicious by exploring food and food culture from across the world. Bringing stories about cooking and eating as well as recipes, cookbook reviews and more, Cooks Without Borders features a two-part history. Part One began in December, 2015, when your website was born. Founded by Leslie Brenner, who at the time was restaurant critic at The Dallas Morning News and had previously served as Food Editor at The Los Angeles Times, Cooks Without Borders was inspired by Leslie's experiences cooking and eating around the globe and the proven fact that cooking has unique power to bring peoples together. It explored delicious food from everywhere, offering recipes for dishes readers were excited to make in their own kitchens.
