Acai Bowl with frozen acai, banana and frozen blueberries — Brazil recipe

🇧🇷BrazilEasy

Breakfast and Brunch

Acai Bowl

An acai bowl is a Brazilian bowl of frozen acai pulp blended thick enough to eat with a spoon, served under granola, fruit and seeds. Getting it thick is about temperature, not blender power: freeze the banana solid (at least 2 hours, or keep a bag of frozen slices ready), use no more than 60 ml of liquid, and blend on low, stopping often to push the mixture back down with the tamper or a spatula.

Aïoli (Traditional Provençal Garlic and Olive Oil Sauce) with garlic cloves, extra virgin olive oil and egg yolk — France recipe

🇫🇷FranceEasy

Sauces and Dips

Aïoli (Traditional Provençal Garlic and Olive Oil Sauce)

Aïoli is the classic Provençal garlic and olive oil sauce — a thick, glossy, intensely garlicky emulsion made from raw garlic, egg yolk, and extra virgin olive oil. Its name comes from Occitan: alh (garlic) and òli (oil). The authentic 'aïoli véritable' uses no egg and relies purely on garlic's emulsifying compounds, but Larousse Gastronomique and modern French restaurants now standardize the egg-yolk version as 'aïoli'. In Provence, this sauce is the centerpiece of Le Grand Aïoli — a Friday lunch of boiled vegetables, salt cod, and hard-boiled eggs all dipped into a communal bowl. Vegetarian, gluten-free, keto-friendly. Active work 15 minutes, no cooking. Yields 250 ml, serves 8.

Ajapsandal with eggplant, tomato and garlic — Georgia recipe

🇬🇪GeorgiaAdvanced

Vegetable and Mushroom Dishes

Ajapsandal

Ajapsandal (also spelled Adzhapsandali or Ajapsandali) is a Georgian vegetable stew of eggplants, bell peppers, tomatoes and potatoes, seasoned with cilantro, basil, parsley, garlic and hot pepper. The eggplant is fried first, then everything simmers together under a lid for 20 to 25 minutes. It is served hot as a main course or cold as an appetiser, and many people think it tastes better the next day. The quantities here (about 1 kg of eggplant, 350 g of peppers, 600 g of tomatoes and 400 g of potatoes) make four generous main-course portions, or six as a side. The 70 minutes cover chopping, frying and stewing; salting the eggplant adds 20 to 30 minutes of waiting, and the finished stew rests another 15 to 20.

Ají Criollo with fresh ají amarillo, ají limo and huacatay leaves — Peru recipe

🇵🇪PeruMedium

Sauces and Dips

Ají Criollo

Ají criollo is the emulsified chilli sauce that sits on the table in Peruvian chicken houses and beside the grill. In Peru it is usually called ají de pollería. Fresh ají amarillo is deveined and softened, fried with onion and garlic, then blended with fresh cheese and evaporated milk while oil is streamed in to build a thick, glossy emulsion, with huacatay and coriander folded in at the end for the herbal edge. It is a condiment rather than a cooking sauce: nothing is simmered in it, and it goes onto roast chicken, anticuchos, boiled potatoes and fried cassava after they leave the fire. With the ribs out and after boiling, ají amarillo brings more fruit than heat, so the sharpness in a good version comes from the ají limo added separately. Makes about 650 g (roughly 2½ cups); a serving is about 5 tablespoons. The sauce chills for 30 minutes before serving.

Ajitama (Japanese Ramen Eggs) with eggs, soy sauce and mirin — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanEasy

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Ajitama (Japanese Ramen Eggs)

Ajitama, short for ajitsuke tamago (味玉, 味付け玉子) and also called nitamago or simply ramen eggs, are Japanese soft-boiled eggs marinated in soy sauce and mirin until the whites turn light brown and savoury-sweet while the yolks stay jammy. In Japan they are the standard topping on a bowl of ramen. The eggs boil for 6 minutes 30 seconds, go straight into ice water, then get peeled and left in a cold marinade of soy sauce, mirin, water and a splash of sake. Hands-on work takes about 20 minutes. After that the eggs sit in the fridge for 4 to 12 hours and the marinade does the rest.

Aperol Spritz with Aperol, Prosecco and soda water — Italy recipe

🇮🇹ItalyEasy

Beverages

Aperol Spritz

Three parts Prosecco, two parts Aperol, one part soda water, poured in that order over ice in a large wine glass. The 3-2-1 ratio is the official recipe and it works — bitter, lightly sweet, sparkling, orange. The drink originated in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy as an aperitivo, meaning it's designed to be drunk before a meal to open the appetite. It's not complicated. What kills it at home is the wrong order of pouring and warm prosecco.

Apple Kugel (Jewish Baked Apple Casserole)

Kugel is a Jewish baked casserole that sits somewhere between a cake and a pudding. This sweet apple version is built on a poured batter — oil, eggs, flour — that goes over layered apple slices and bakes until the bottom caramelises and the top turns golden. Denser than a charlotte, more forgiving than a tart. Traditional on Shabbat and holiday tables, pareve, and genuinely better the next day.
