Breakfast and Brunch

Nasi Lemak (Malaysian Coconut Rice)

Nasi lemak is Malaysia's national dish — fragrant coconut rice cooked with pandan, ringed by a spicy-sweet sambal, crisp fried anchovies, roasted peanuts, cucumber, and a boiled egg. Each element plays a role: creamy rice, fiery sambal, salty crunch, cooling cucumber. Traditionally wrapped in banana leaf and eaten for breakfast at roadside stalls, it's a whole plate of contrasts built around one bowl of rich, aromatic rice.

Negroni (Classic Italian Aperitivo Cocktail) with gin, Campari and sweet vermouth — Italy recipe

🇮🇹ItalyEasy

Beverages

Negroni (Classic Italian Aperitivo Cocktail)

The Negroni is a classic Italian cocktail made with equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet red vermouth, stirred over ice and garnished with an orange peel. One of the world's most iconic drinks, it's the cornerstone of Italian aperitivo culture — the tradition of a light, bitter drink before dinner that wakes the palate and stirs the appetite. Created around 1919 at Caffè Casoni in Florence, when Count Camillo Negroni asked bartender Fosco Scarselli for a stronger version of the Americano, replacing soda water with gin. Its ruby-red color, bittersweet flavor, and spirit-forward strength made it an icon of la dolce vita. The drink is a direct descendant of the Americano (Campari, vermouth, soda), which itself came from the Milano-Torino. The sacred formula is 1:1:1 — equal parts of all three ingredients. Key technique: stir, never shake (a spirit-only cocktail without juice should be gently chilled, not aerated and over-diluted), and quality matters because there are only three ingredients. Campari is the one irreplaceable soul of the drink. Served in a rocks glass over a large ice cube or straight up, it's sipped slowly as an aperitivo between 6 and 8 PM, paired with olives, taralli, or salty snacks. Recently revived worldwide through Negroni Week and ambassadors like Stanley Tucci, it remains one of the top three most-ordered cocktails in bars globally. Yields 1 cocktail in 5 minutes.

Nigerian Beef Suya with beef sirloin, roasted peanuts and cayenne pepper — Nigeria recipe

🇳🇬NigeriaMedium

Meat Dishes

Nigerian Beef Suya

Suya is Nigerian street food at its most elemental: thinly sliced beef, threaded on skewers, coated in yaji — a dry spice mix built on ground roasted peanuts, cayenne, ginger, and paprika — then grilled over high heat until the edges char and the spice crust sets. It originated with the Hausa people of northern Nigeria and has become a national dish. The yaji goes on twice: once as a marinade before cooking, once as a dry finish sprinkled over the hot meat right off the grill. That second application is what separates suya from ordinary grilled meat. Serve with raw onion, tomato slices, and another pinch of yaji. Newspaper optional but traditional.

Nigerian Jollof Rice with rice, tomatoes and bell peppers — Nigeria recipe

Cereal and Pasta Dishes

Nigerian Jollof Rice

Jollof rice is West Africa's most debated dish. Nigerian, Ghanaian, Senegalese — every country insists its version is definitive. The Nigerian version is built on a tomato-pepper base cooked down until brick-red and deeply savory, then the rice steams under foil and a tight lid until each grain is separate and fully flavoured. The smoky bottom — the slightly scorched layer called party jollof — is not a mistake. It's the point. Serve with fried plantains and coleslaw.

Overnight Chia Pudding with chia seeds, milk and maple syrup or honey — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAEasy

Breakfast and Brunch

Overnight Chia Pudding

Five minutes of actual work, and breakfast is waiting for you in the fridge by morning. Chia seeds absorb ten times their weight in liquid overnight, transforming into a thick, creamy pudding with no cooking whatsoever. I use a simple ratio — two tablespoons of chia seeds to 150ml of liquid — and the result is somewhere between tapioca pudding and panna cotta. Sweeten with maple syrup or honey, add a splash of vanilla, and top with whatever fruit is in season. It keeps for three days in the fridge, so I usually make a double batch on Sunday night.
