Spain Main – Paella
Full disclaimer, this is where the pescatarian nature of this project really comes into play, so if you’re not a fan of looking at things with tentacles, this may not be the recipe for you! It would be impossible to make food from Spain, and not have paella on the list. This was a delicious…

Northern Ireland Main – Mushroom and Guinness Pie
Of course we had to include a recipe with Guinness! For this recipe we used a recipe from the BOSH! book, which we highly recommend getting your hands on. This also means if you’re able to get vegan pastry (or even make your own), this is a vegan-friendly meal too. This mushroom and Guinness pie…

Tunisia Main – Shakshuka
Shakshuka is a dish that has most likely appeared on a brunch menu near you. It is typically served in a skillet, however we did not have an oven-safe pan. It works just as well in a roasting dish if this is all you have! We used a recipe from Globally Flavored, which was very…

Japan Main – Yakisoba Fried Noodles

They were very brittle when uncooked, but became almost gelatinous (in a good way) once cooked. For this dish we…

Poutine is traditionally served with cheese curds and a meat-based gravy, however we wanted to make this vegetarian so opted for an vegetarian gravy. Also as we are based in…

Wales Main – Cawl
Cawl is a classic winter warmer Welsh dish. It’s a stew classically made with lamb and vegetables, but we traded the lamb for portobello mushrooms to make it vegetarian but also keep the lamb texture. All of the vegetables were purchased in Swansea Market from the Get Fresh stall and used in this recipe from…

Morocco Main Course – Tagine
Tagine was an obvious choice for Morocco, full of flavour and colour! Usually it is made with lamb, however it was very easy to make veggie. We used a recipe from BBC Good Food which was packed full of delicious veggies, but still had all the authentic flavours. This took a lot of chopping but…

Cyprus Main – Spinach and Feta Filo Pie
As the focus was on the Greek side of Cyprus, we looked into making a Spanakopita-style pie for the main course. We found a great recipe on BBC Good Food that we used for this dish! Again this was a dish that didn’t require a lot of ingredients and was super easy to make. Once…
