These delicous piña colada coconut macaroons are perfectly golden crisp on the outside, soft and sticky inside, and finished with a drizzle of lime drizzle, diced pineapple, cocktail cherries and a sprinkle of lime zest. Store them in a well-sealed tin in a cool place for around two weeks.
There are crystallized and natural dried pineapples. The natural dried pineapples are excellent for snacking, but for this macaroon recipe, we need crystallized variety.

Baja cuisine is a fusion cuisine from Mexico's Baja California peninsula that blends traditional Mexican flavours and ingredients with Mediterranean and Asian influences, emphasizing fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Tender, juicy and super flavourful, this Baja chicken is easy to make and perfect for a homey comforting meal with salsa, corn tortillas, refried beans, or rice. It uses chicken thighs and is marinated in a lovely citrusy marinade and roasted to perfection.
Mexican oregano has a hint of lime and some mild licorice or anise notes in it. If you cannot find it, then marjoram is a better substitute for Mexican oregano than European oregano, because the flavour profile is more similar.

Tender, aromatic Tunisian spiced lamb chops served on a bed of thick plain yoghurt and pomegranate seeds and mint leaves make a delicious, easy healthy dinner recipe. Ras el Hanout is a spice blend found in Tunisian cuisine, very similar to Moroccan spice mix. Only Tunisian versions often incorporate chilli and hot paprika for a more spicy and aromatic flavuor. The best substitutes will be baharat or a mix of equal parts of spices like cumin, coriander, paprika, along with a generous pinch of cinnamon.

Nutty, chewy and fruity with a slightly crispy bottom, these naturally gluten free cookies enriched with lemon zest and dried figs are perfect accompaniment to coffee, tea, hot chocolate or ice cream.
Amaretti cookies are traditionally made with almonds, sugar, and egg whites. The name "Amaretti" comes from the Italian word "amaro," meaning bitter, a reference to the use of bitter almonds in the original recipe. But other nuts, like hazelnuts, walnuts or macadamias are great alternatives.

These jerk chicken wings have the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. The subtle sweetness of the molasses, the heat of the scotch bonnet peppers and the wonderfully fragrant thyme and spring onions combined together to create a perfect flavour combination. The allspice, cloves, ginger and nutmeg add a pleasant depth and the lime juice provides a refreshing kick! Serve them with a fresh crispy salad or/and rice.
Scotch bonnet peppers are traditional in Jamaican cuisine. If you're unable to find them, substitute them with habanero peppers. Use 1 to 3 peppers with seeds depending on how spicy you like the wings. I used two with one without seeds. I didn’t separate the wings, but use split wings if that’s what you like.

Poulet Basque/ Basquaise or Basque chicken is a classic chicken stew from the Basque region in Southern France and a small area of northern Spain. This recipe from Anthony Bourdain (via Food and Wine) is more French. There are many different regional versions of this dish, but they all have one thing in common: they start with a sauce made with red and green peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes and piment d’Espelètte, simmered slowly and the white (chicken) and red and green (peppers) represent the Basque flag. The most common side to serve with Basque chicken stew is rice, but you could also serve it with a salad, sauteed potatoes or a loaf of crusty bread.
Piment d'Espelètte is a mild, fruity chilli powder with intense aroma from the Basque region of France, specifically from the area around the village of Espelètte. I ordered it from Amazon, and it’s a little bit pricey, but you can easily replace 1 teaspoon of piment d'Espelètte with ¾ teaspoon of Aleppo pepper or ¾ teaspoon of paprika with a large pinch of cayenne pepper. However, they won’t be exactly the same, but should do the trick.

With Portuguese roots, a popular staple served throughout South Africa, these chicken livers are spicy, juicy and flavour-packed with a creamy tangy peri peri sauce. You can add 125 ml of chicken stock for more gravy if you prefer. The dish makes an excellent entrée or lunch served with rye bread or steamed rice and vegetables. It’s budget friendly and super nutritious.
For peri peri sauce, use the red chillies that are available to you. I have used a mixture of dried kashmiri chillies and bird eye chillies. If you want a really spicy sauce, then use more bird eye chillies. Skip the soaking step if you use fresh chillie.

Golden crispy smashed potatoes, crunchy red Belgian endives with a pleasant bitterness, and creamy Greek yoghurt dip / sauce—a simple yet tantalizing combination that is bursting in colour, texture and flavour while maintaining an excellent nutrient balance for an elevated home-cooked meal. For smashed potatoes, you want to use those baby-sized waxy potatoes, about the size of a golf ball, with soft and thin skin, red and yellow are both fine.

A hearty and satisfying chicken dish with an enormous punch of fantastic flavour that’s brightened with citrus and bolstered with anise liqueur. The oven does the work in this mostly hands-off main with minimal prep - a delicious family meal that’s ready in less an hour.
Arak is an anise-flavoured, grape-based liqueur produced in Levant region and the best substitute is Turkish Raki. Other alternatives are French Pernod, Italian Sambuca, which has added sugar though, or Greek Ouzo. They ain’t exactly the same, but share some similarities, and work just as fine. If you don’t want to cook with alcohol, then use 1-2 tablespoons of anis oil combined with chicken stock.

Tomato Kasundi, an Indian condiment that’s sweet, sour and spicy, is perfect for a bounty of fresh ripe tomatoes from your garden or farmer markets. It is made with lots of wonderful Indian spices, apple cider vinegar, sugar (I used coconut sugar), and hot/mild chilli peppers. You can also eat it straight out of the jar with naan bread. Or serve this chutney with samosas, curries, vegetables, cheese, or as a sandwich spread, or with daal and basmati rice. There are many varieties of kasundi made with different vegetables and fruits, but a common ingredient is mustard seeds, either brown or black.
