Around the world food and drinks can be cooked and prepared in many different way and each type is linked to a different group of people region or country. Foods that are prepared all over the world have their own uniqueness and with them cooking traditions and practices that are passed down from generation to generation. Foods are very often specialized according to the ingredients that are avaialble locally or by trading agreeemts that may have built up over thousands of years.

Country Guide - An overview - World Time Zones
UTC (Universal Time, Co-ordinated) - (Greenwich Mean Time), after the Royal Observatory located in the Greenwich area of London.
UTC is also sometimes called Z or Zulu time. A time may be written as e.g. 21:45Z with the Z indicating UTC. The "Z" is for "zero", and "Zulu" is the two-way radio pronunciation of "Z". It comes from the nautical system in which each time zone was assigned a letter.
Time zones east of UTC and west of the International Date Line are specified by the number of hours ahead of UTC (e.g. UTC+4); zones west of UTC and east of the Date Line are specified by the number of hours behind UTC (e.g. UTC-6). Crossing the Date Line going eastward, clocks are turned back a full 24 hours, and vice versa in the opposite direction. (Note: The total span of time zones covers more than 24 hours because the Date Line jogs westward and eastward to keep certain national island groupings on the same calendar day, although they are not within a single time zone.)
It is important to note that Zulu time is unaffected by Daylight Saving Time. Therefore, when Daylight Saving Time is in effect, Zulu time is one hour behind UTC.
