I’ve given myself ‘the country recipe challenge‘ is to cook (at least) 1 recipe from each country in the world.
Focussing on popular local herbs & vegetables used in cooking in that country, and ‘step by step’ advice on how to grow them at home.
Quick links:
The full recipe list is further down this page, or I have grouped them by area:
Original recipes but sometimes different.
I try to use authentic recipes, however (unfortunately) not all the ingredients are available in my local area.
For example Gachas manchegas (pictured) is delicious but Grass Pea flour is not easily available.
Which is why I’ve adapted some of the recipes to use home grown herbs or easy to get ingredients. Similarly I’ve also added recipes to make essential pastes, syrups, etc. you can make when growing your own herbs, peppers, etc.
