Tofu Pad Thai with rice noodles, tofu and tamarind paste — Thailand recipe

🇹🇭ThailandMedium

Cereal and Pasta Dishes

Tofu Pad Thai

Flat rice noodles stir-fried with pressed tofu, bean sprouts, and spring onions in a tamarind-fish sauce-palm sugar sauce, finished with crushed peanuts and lime. This is a vegetarian adaptation of the classic Thai street dish — not a compromise version, but a version that works because the sauce, technique, and noodle handling are treated correctly. The tamarind is non-negotiable. The wok needs to be genuinely hot. The tofu needs to be dry before it hits the pan. Get those three things right and the rest follows.

Turkish Coffee with coffee and cardamom — Turkey recipe

🇹🇷TurkeyEasy

Beverages

Turkish Coffee

Turkish coffee is not a type of coffee — it's a method. Powder-fine grounds are simmered unfiltered in a small long-handled pot called a cezve, never boiled, and poured straight into the cup without straining. The grounds settle at the bottom. You drink down to them, then stop. The foam that forms on top is not incidental — it's the measure of a well-made cup. Getting it consistently requires a cold water start, low heat, and patience. The process takes about three minutes once you know what to watch for.

Tzatziki with yogurt, cucumber and dill — Greece recipe

🇬🇷GreeceEasy

Sauces and Dips

Tzatziki

Tzatziki (τζατζίκι, also written zaziki) is a cold Greek sauce of strained yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil and dill. It is served as a meze with pita, or as the sauce for gyros and souvlaki. The secret is squeezing every drop of water out of the cucumber; skip that step and you get soup, not tzatziki. It takes 10 minutes to make and needs at least 30 minutes in the fridge before serving.

Vanillekipferl (German Vanilla Crescent Cookies) with flour, butter and almonds — Germany recipe

Vanillekipferl (German Vanilla Crescent Cookies)

Vanillekipferl are small crescent-shaped shortbread cookies made with ground almonds and rolled in vanilla sugar while still warm. They were first baked in Vienna, and today no Advent cookie tin in Germany or Austria is complete without them. The dough has no baking powder and only two egg yolks, so the crumb is sandy and melts on the tongue instead of crunching. The 75 minutes cover mixing, shaping and baking three trays; the dough also needs an hour in the fridge before shaping, and the cookies are at their best after two or three days in a tin. Makes about 60 pieces, five to a serving.
