Marry Me Beans

The meatless take on viral Marry Me Chicken: creamy white beans in a sun-dried tomato and parmesan sauce, finished with spinach and a whisper of chili. Mashing a quarter of the beans thickens the sauce naturally, no flour needed, and the whole skillet comes together in 25 minutes — hearty enough to stand alone or spoon over bread, rice, or pasta.

Matcha Latte with ceremonial grade matcha powder and whole milk or oat milk — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanEasy

Beverages

Matcha Latte

Ground shade-grown green tea whisked into a paste with hot water, then brought together with steamed milk. The result is grassy, vegetal and slightly sweet all at once — nothing like green tea-flavored syrup. Made properly at home with ceremonial-grade matcha, it's a genuinely different drink.

Muhammara with roasted red peppers, walnuts and pomegranate molasses — Lebanon recipe

🇱🇧LebanonMedium

Sauces and Dips

Muhammara

Muhammara comes from Aleppo, Syria, and the name is Arabic for 'reddened'. It's a roasted red pepper and walnut dip with a flavor unlike anything else in the mezze world: sweet from the peppers, tangy from pomegranate molasses, earthy from toasted walnuts, with a slow heat from Aleppo pepper. Breadcrumbs give it body and a slightly grainy texture that holds up on pita. The dip improves overnight — the flavors round out and the texture firms slightly. Unlike hummus, which can be polarising, muhammara tends to win over everyone who tries it.

Mulled Wine with red wine, orange and cinnamon sticks — Germany recipe

🇩🇪GermanyEasy

Beverages

Mulled Wine

Glühwein is the hot spiced red wine poured from wooden huts at German Christmas markets: wine, sugar, orange and whole spices, and under EU rules nothing else — not even water. Orange and cinnamon carry the top of it, while cloves and star anise sit underneath and keep the drink from reading as syrup. Heat is the whole job here: hold the pot near 70°C and never let it bubble, or the wine browns and goes flat. Active work is about fifteen minutes, after which the pan sits on the lowest flame for another twenty to thirty while the spices open up.

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.
