「アピールする」と「appeal」の違いは何?

Wow! What a busy day it was! I got home tonight around 11:15pm, and immediately I started to make dinner. This is a picture of what I made.

It's one of my favorite soups: the one with the five spice powder. The difference this time is that it's full of turnip greens and dried jujubes. The side dish is a kind of half-dried bean curd from Taiwan with cilantro and a soy-sauce-based sauce.

• turnip greens
  《植物》カブラ菜
• jujube《植物》ナツメ (definition from Eijiro on the Web)
  
• 豆乾 dried bean curd (this is Chinese, not Japanese... I know. I don't know how to say this in Japanese).

You might be saying, "ニック、何時も自分の料理をアピールしている。"

× You are always appealing the food you make.
○ You are always promoting the food you make.

この共同プロジェクトはビーチ・リゾートの魅力をアピールして観光客を呼び戻すことを目指しています。 The joint project aims to revive tourist numbers by promoting the beach resorts' attractions. (example from Eijiro on the Web)

promote〔商品などを〕販売促進｛はんばい そくしん｝する、宣伝｛せんでん｝する (definition from Eijiro on the Web)

I thought these dishes might be appealing for you. That's why I want to show off.

• appealing【形】人の心を動かす（ような）、魅力的｛みりょくてき｝な、おいしそうな、訴求力｛そきゅう りょく｝がある、目立つ｛めだつ｝、華々｛はなばな｝しい

I hope you all can eat something delicious this weekend. Talk to you soon!
