Massaman curry is a classic Thai curry of Muslim origin and traditionally it’s loaded with potatoes. I have simply skipped them and used 2 onions, but you can use radishes, kohlraib or even cucumber instead. If you are short in time, use a ready-made massaman curry paste. This recipe calls for braising beef, however, you can make this with beef ribs, lamb shanks, chicken, pork or even tofu too. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. If you are sensitive to peanuts, simply omit them or use cashew nuts instead.
Massaman means "Muslim" and is derived from a now-archaic English term "Mussulman," highlighting its origins as a fusion dish brought by Persian or Malay traders.

Crispy and fresh from the oven – that's how we like our bread best. This delicious homemade spelt bread with walnuts and raisins relies on long, slow fermentation with just a little yeast to develop gluten and flavour, rather than manual kneading. A 24-hour fermentation help develop a deeper, more complex, sourdough-like flavour and makes the bread more digestible. If you bake this bread in summer or your kitchen is very warm, or simply because you want to delay baking even longer, you can leave the dough rise in the refrigerator. I left mine in the refrigerator for the last 4 hours and the sticky dough was actually much easier to work with when it’s cold.

Leipziger Lerchen (Lerchen means larks in German) are a small shortcrust pastry filled with nuts and strawberry jam. The pastry cross on top symbolize the cross ties used to bind the stuffed animals and red berry jam symbolize either the heart or the blood of the bird. The name originates from a delicacy popular in the Leipzig, Germany until the 1870s. The dish used the lark which was roasted with herbs and eggs and served as a filling in a pastry crust. By the end of the 19th century, however, the larks population had so decreased that the shooting of larks was officially banned. A clever confectioner from Leipzig had the idea of helping preserve the larks by creating a new, sweet version of Leipziger Lerchen filled with nut cream and jam. He and his team consoled the saddened gourmets with this sweet treat, which has survived to this day. In addition to original Leipziger Lerchen, you can also find Lerchen made with different nuts and jams in bakeries.

If you're into vibrant, smoky, fiery, and zesty food, you will love this African-inspired chicken tariq. Tariq here refers to the Rock of Gibraltar island, which comes from the Arabic Jabal Tariq ("Mountain of Tariq"), named after the Arabic commander Tariq ibn Ziyad. While geographically European, its proximity to Africa and historical ties, the food in Gibraltar blends British pub grub, Spanish tapas, and North African flavours. Creamy yohugrt and spicy harissa create a tender, flavourful, and golden crispy baked chicken dish that you'll turn to time and time again. The yoghurt tenderize the chicken and adds creaminess, balancing the harissa's heat for a rich, zesty flavour. Great to serve with flatbread, rice or just a simple salad.

These scrumptious Turkish pastries are made with spiced ground beef, toasted pinenuts and onions rolled in yufka sheets. They are perfect for parties as well as for brunch or dinner. Serve with a salad if you like.
Börek (pronounced "boo-rek"), aka burek or byrek, is a type of savoury pastry made with paper-thin yufka/filo dough layered or rolled with various fillings like meat, cheese, or vegetables, or sweet version with nuts and fruit, then baked or fried until golden. Originating in the Ottoman era, börek is a staple of Turkish cuisine and beloved across the Balkans and Middle East. It can be baked as a large dish and sliced into portions, or shaped into individual pastries. The word “börek” originates from the Turkish verb bürmek, meaning “to twist” or “to wrap,” quite fitting for a dish that typically involves layers of dough twisted or folded around fillings.

Originating with the Hausa people of Northern Nigeria, Suya (derived from Hausa word for "to fry" or "grill") is one of the most beloved street foods in Nigeria. Meat (chicken, beef or lamb/goat) is sliced, coated with a complex peanut-based spice blend known as yaji or suya pepper before skewered and grilled over open charcoal flames. Traditionally suya is served with raw onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and/or cabbages as a cooling component to the spicy flavour of the spice blend. But you can serve them with coleslaw, fries, rice or plantains. You can easily find suya pepper/yaji in African grocery stores, online, or simply make your own at home with the recipe I am sharing below. If 3 tablespoons of cayenne pepper is too spicy for you, replace 1 tablespoon with sweet paprika powder. The spice blend is great for roasting vegetables or mixed with oil or yoghurt as a dip. It is an incredible condiment to use on really anything that needs a little extra spicy kick.

These cookie bars has a base of a peanuty cookies crust, a gooey filling featuring cream cheese, mint dark chocolate and roasted peanuts and a sensational crumble topping. The recipe is super easy to put together and makes the most delicious dessert! I have used coconut sugar, which is lower on the glycemic index than regular brown sugar, and replaced white sugar with erythritol, which doesn't significantly impact blood sugar levels, so you can indulge a bit without feeling too gulity.

The slow-cooked beef stew with chestnuts is a warming, comforting casserole packed with rich flavours and hearty ingredients. It combines tender chunks of beef chuck roast, distinctively robust Pancetta with the earthy sweetness of chestnuts and an aromatic blend of thyme, cinnamon and tangerine peel. It tastes wonderful with a green vegetable, buttered egg noodles, or some celeriac/potato mash and benefits from being made a day or two in advance, or frozen, which works beautifully. You can also make this in your slow cooker for 4-6 hours at slow.

Ramazan pidesi, or Turkish Ramadan pide bread, is a classic Turkish bread made with yeast that’s typically served for iftar-the first meal after sunset during ramadan, but can be enjoyed year-round. Fresh out of the oven, this bread has a shiny, golden crust with a soft but chewy crumb.
Usually the center of a pide is topped with meat, cheese, or vegetables, very similar to Georgian khachapuri. However, during the Ramadan month, pide is made in this special style and often eaten to break the fast. The dough is coated in a yoghurt-egg mixture, beautifully quilted with your fingertips, and sprinkled with sesame seeds and nigella seeds. The bread tastes the best when it’s fresh and warm. The leftover pide bread can be stored in your bread container at room temperature for 2-3 days. To reheat the bread, simply sprinkle it with a little water and heat it in the 180C/350F oven for a few minutes until warmed through.
