Gumbo

Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta

Pan-seared chicken in a rich garlic cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, baby spinach, and Parmesan — all done in one skillet in 30 minutes. This dish is inspired by the flavors of Tuscany and loosely connected to Florentine sauce (cream, white wine, spinach), with sun-dried tomatoes added for the characteristic sweet-concentrated punch. It is not a traditional Italian dish but an Italian-American one — popularised in American restaurants and home kitchens. What makes it work is the layering: the chicken fond in the pan, the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes for the sauce base, the pasta water to bind everything. Done right, it is genuinely restaurant-quality.

Khao Soi (Northern Thai Coconut Curry Noodle Soup)

Cereal and Pasta Dishes

Khao Soi (Northern Thai Coconut Curry Noodle Soup)

Northern Thai egg noodle soup with a rich, golden coconut curry broth, braised chicken, and — the defining detail — a nest of deep-fried crispy noodles floating on top of the same egg noodles in the bowl. Khao soi (ข้าวซอย) is the signature dish of Chiang Mai and the Lanna region of Northern Thailand, though its origins trace the old trade routes connecting Thailand, Myanmar, and Yunnan. The broth is distinct from Bangkok-style curries: turmeric-forward, slightly spiced, coconut-rich, and not particularly hot. The condiments served alongside — pickled mustard greens, raw shallots, lime wedges, and chilli oil — are not optional. They complete the dish by adding sharp, sour, fresh notes that cut through the richness of the coconut broth. This is one of the great noodle soups of the world.

Thai Green Curry (Gaeng Keow Wan)

Gaeng keow wan (แกงเขียวหวาน) — literally 'sweet green curry' — is the most popular curry in Thailand, served everywhere from street stalls to fine restaurants. The green color comes from fresh green chillies in the paste; the 'sweet' in the name refers not to sugar but to the soft pastel shade of green. A quick-fried green curry paste forms the base, bloomed in the thick cream from coconut milk before the liquid is added. The balance is non-negotiable: spicy from the paste, rich from the coconut, salty from fish sauce, and a back note of sweetness from palm sugar. Thai basil and kaffir lime leaves are the aromatics that make it unmistakably Thai. Serve with jasmine rice and nothing else.

Thai Red Curry (Gaeng Phet)

Gaeng Phet (แกงเผ็ด) — 'spicy curry' — is Thailand's most ubiquitous curry, found on every restaurant menu and in every home. Where green curry uses fresh chillies for a herbal brightness, red curry uses dried red chillies for a deeper, earthier, and more complex heat. The color comes from dried chilli skins; the richness comes from full-fat coconut milk with the cream reduced first to separate the oil before the paste is added — the authentic Thai technique that concentrates the aromatics. Popular with chicken, beef, pork, duck, or prawns. Thai eggplant and bamboo shoots are the classic vegetables; bell peppers and pumpkin are common additions.

Chicken Tagine with Chermoula

Chermoula is a Moroccan marinade — raw herbs, garlic, cumin, lemon, oil — and it does more work here than the tagine itself. The chicken sits in it overnight if you have time, or two hours if you don't. Either way, something changes in the meat. Then it goes into the pot with preserved lemon, olives, and onion, and cooks low and slow until it falls off the bone. No tagine pot required. A wide, heavy pan with a lid does the same job.

Doro Wat (Ethiopian Spiced Chicken Stew)

Doro wat is Ethiopia's national dish — a deep red, intensely spiced chicken stew built on a foundation of onions cooked down slowly until they melt into a rich paste. Fiery berbere and aromatic niter kibbeh, a spiced clarified butter, give it heat and depth, while whole hard-boiled eggs simmer in the sauce to soak up flavour. Slow-cooked and celebratory, it's traditionally scooped up with injera, the tangy teff flatbread, in a shared communal meal.

Mapo Tofu (Sichuan Tofu in Chili Bean Sauce)

Mapo tofu is the definitive Sichuan dish — cubes of silken tofu suspended in a glossy scarlet sauce of fermented chili bean paste and black beans, studded with crisp bits of pork and finished with freshly ground Sichuan peppercorn. The result is má là: the tingling numbness of the peppercorn against the burn of chili. Soft, fiery, and deeply savoury, it's built in minutes and eaten straight over steaming rice.

Canard a l'Orange (French Roast Duck with Orange Sauce)

Canard a l'orange is one of the pillars of classical French cooking: a whole roast duck with crisp, rendered skin, served with sauce bigarade — a sharp, glossy orange sauce built on a gastrique of caramelized sugar and vinegar. The point isn't sweetness but tension, the acidity and faint bitterness of the orange cutting straight through the fat of the bird. Codified by Escoffier, it's the dish that taught generations of cooks what balance means.

White Chicken Chili

White chicken chili is the pale, creamy answer to the red beef kind — shredded chicken and white beans in a broth built on green chiles, cumin, and oregano, thickened by pureeing part of the beans rather than by flour. Cream cheese stirred in at the end makes it velvety without turning it into soup-with-cream. It's mild enough for a weeknight, and the bowl gets finished at the table with lime, coriander, and a handful of grated cheese.

Coxinha

Coxinha is the teardrop-shaped chicken croquette sold in every Brazilian bakery and snack bar, named after the chicken drumstick whose shape it imitates. The dough is a scalded flour paste made with the broth the chicken was poached in, which is why a coxinha tastes of chicken all the way through rather than only in its filling. Inside sits shredded thigh meat bound with requeijão, the Brazilian spreadable cheese, and the whole thing is breaded and deep-fried until the shell crackles. The two things that decide the result are kneading the dough while it is still hot and sealing the shell without trapping air.
