This is an attempt at galinhada,’galinha’ is Portuguese for hen(chicken).I think.It’s a bit like a less fiery jollof rice which I’m sure I’ll be trying with some of the West African countries. I should stress that with these recipes I’m in no way claiming that I’ve made it the right way, I just give something […]

Austria next on my cooking around the world challenge and this is an attempt at mohnstrudel, a poppy seed roll.As per usual this isn’t quite right as I had only 20g of poppy seeds instead of 100g and couldn’t be bothered going to the shop (a common theme!) So another variation gave raisins, ground almond

Armenia next in my attempt to cook around the world. I thought this was going be more complicated than what I had made so far. But then I read on Wikipedia:- ‘Loligov Dzvadzekh (Tomato & Egg Scramble): This is a very common breakfast item. Essentially a simple scramble with tomato as the base’ So this

Argentina next on my quest to *badly* cook my way around the world.This is a very lazy attempt at dulce de leche.I’ll be honest and say I got tired stirring the milk and took it off early. It should be browner, like condensed milk… it’s probably like Banoffee topping. My attempt was more like watery

Antigua and Barbuda next on the world cooking trip and this is supposed to be an attempt at fungee, a maize|cornmeal|polenta porridge-y sort of thing. It’s got okra in in though, which adds a sort of gloopy thing…..then you stir loads.The recipe I used said to roll it into balls and now they look a

This is my attempt at Tavë kosi, which is the national dish of Albania…sort of a moussaka meets a Spanish tortilla, a bit garlicky like a chicken Kiev… except with lamb and yoghurt. Very tasty. I’ve decided to go alphabetically around the world with the food project, mainly as I’ll loose track of what I
