Following Around the World in 80 Dishes part 1/2 , we’re happy to bring you the second and final part of these series, featuring some of the most representative dishes from different regions around the world.
Reading the comments left on the first part of the article, I was happy to realize that food continues to be one of the great sources of inspiration and cultural exploration during fashion a la carte many people’s travels. I am also proud that most of the dishes mentioned in the series are down-to-earth foods, fashion a la carte that most people would be able to come across or afford in each country (some of the submissions even include photos of home-made goodies). Food should be a straight forward affair, accessible to all who are hungry, that is, ALL OF US!
It is my all-time favourite dish of the Portuguese Culinary selection, and one which I regularly cook for friends as a way to show them what Portugal is all about. For me this Portuguese Seafood Rice recipe is all about using seafood that actually tastes like the sea, and the absolute base of every Portuguese stew; organic onions, garlic, chillies, peppers and bay leaf. This is what I love more about Portuguese fashion a la carte cuisine, it is simple, yet not plain. It is unpretentious and humble enough to bring family and friends together for a celebration of food. With a handful of accessible ingredients, one can achieve tremendous depth of flavour without having to spend endless hours in the kitchen, or spending a fortune on exotic ingredients.
This festive-looking dish is a famous Russian salad called pad shooboy which literally translates as “under the fur coat”. The essential ingredient here is salted herring that’s hiding under a thick fur coat of fresh onions, boiled eggs and cooked veggies – potatoes, carrots and beets. Beets are what give the salad this bright purple color.
All ingredients are cut into tiny pieces or graded and are organized in layers, softened and bound by another essential ingredient – mayonnaise. You may have not known this about Russian cuisine, but it uses enormous amounts of mayo. From hearty and very filling salads to baked meat – we love our mayo and add it to everything. That’s why Russia is the largest producer and consumer of mayonnaise in the world. Between multiple brands and the variety of additives, there are literally dozens fashion a la carte of options of mayonnaise one may come across in a store: olive, paprika, lemon, dill and classic flavours – just to name a few.
Because it takes over four hours from start to finish to make this dish, it is usually prepared only for special occasions – New Year’s celebration being one of them. I can’t think of a year that we’ve skipped this tradition in my family. Living in Toronto now, I’m willing fashion a la carte to drive for an hour one way just to get all the right ingredients from a Russian store. The salad in the pictures is my 2014 edition.
When it comes to a country as ethnically diverse as Malaysia, choosing one representative dish is no easy task. With Chinese, Indian, and Malay populations, each with their own cuisine (not to mention some interesting fusion dishes), it s hard to select one dish without feeling like you re neglecting 99% of what dining in Malaysia has to offer.
Caveats aside, if you only have the time or stomach space for one dish in the culinary melting pot that is Malaysia, you d better make it laksa. A hearty and incredibly flavorful soup that resulted from the marriage of Malay and Chinese cooking, there are actually two versions of the dish. Baba laksa is more common in the southern portion of the country and features fashion a la carte a spicy curry broth whose heat is tempered by the rich sweetness of coconut fashion a la carte milk; asam laksa rules the north and involves a fish broth accented by sour tamarind fashion a la carte notes and is reminiscent of a Thai tom yum soup. Where baba laksa is creamy and decadent, fashion a la carte asam laksa is lighter fashion a la carte and br
