Food Ideas From Around The World

The world’s palette is rich and diverse, full of culture, flavour and difference. One of the greatest things about travelling is being able to try the local cuisine and the country favourites. Discovering new recipes that you love and can bring home with you to recreate your way. There are so many different and delectable dishes all around the globe and here is a list of some of some of the highlights, to inspire you to try something new.

Paella

From Spain, paella
Paella is the national dish of Spain and can be served in many varieties. Typically paella is either made with seafood, meat, or both. For the perfect authentic combination be sure to add prawns and chorizo to your paella. Paella is served in a large pan and consists of paella rice, herbs, stock, oil and salt. It is tasty and versatile and goes perfectly with a glass of sangria.

From Peru, Pollo a la Brasa
Keeping with the Spanish theme this latin american dish is a fresh meal that you can make in your own backyard and its bursting with flavour and authenticity. Expect succulent chicken, crispy spit roast skin and a bit of spice for added taste. Here is the perfect show stopping pollo a la Brasa recipe to impress your guests.

From Canada, Poutine
On paper it doesn’t sound the nicest and on the plate it doesn’t look the nicest but in reality it tastes amazing. Poutine is a canadian treasure made of fries, cheese curds and gravy. It all comes together in a melted, gooey yet fried ensemble that you will be hard pushed to dislike.

From Japan, Sushi
Sushi is loved and recognised around the world and can be found pretty much anywhere. What many people do not consider is that it can be relatively easy to make at home, once you have your technique right. Once you have mastered the sticky rice, adding a veg or fish of your choice and rolling it up is the easy part. Go on, give it a go.

From France, beef bourguignon
A french twist on a stew that is full of flavour and meat so tender that it melts in your mouth. Consisting of a red wine sauce and flavour filled additions like shallots, garlic and carrots, beef bourguignon is a perfect family meal with a French flair. Beef bourguignon is perfect when served with creamy mash potato or a french loaf for soaking up the juices.

From Italy, Tiramisu
It wouldn’t be right to highlight world foods and not include the infamous Italian cuisine at some point. Providing so many options to choose from it is hard to select just one Italian dish, but if you are to choose it has to be a desert. Italians make desserts like nowhere else and the tiramisu is a country classic. The best part about it, it requires no cooking, just ample time to chill and soak up all the delicious flavours.
