Spain Dessert – Crema Catalana
For our Spanish dessert, Crema Catalana caught our eye. It is essentially a firm custard, with a burnt sugar crust on top, so gave us a great excuse to buy a blowtorch! This is definitely one we will be making again, as it keeps really well too. A lot of the ingredients needed for this…

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…

Spain Starter – Patatas Bravas
When we were thinking of dishes to make for Spain, our minds immediately went to tapas – a collection of small and delicious dishes to be shared around a table. Of the most popular tapas dishes, patatas bravas, is one of our favourites, so we thought it would be the perfect dish to start our…

Germany Starter -Pretzels (Brezel)
Starting with a classic, it’s Pretzels! When we were fortunate enough to visit Berlin all the way back in 2018, we found a little café round the corner from where we were staying that made delicious pretzels and other treats. Naturally we popped in here for breakfast in the mornings and took a couple of…

Germany Dessert – Stollen
As we were making these dishes in December, it was only right that stollen was on the list! We found a recipe from The Daring Gourmet (who is originally from Germany!) which looked perfect to try. Tip to the wise – if you want this for a specific day, make sure you plan ahead as…

Germany Main – Cauliflower Schnitzel
It wouldn’t be Germany week without featuring a schnitzel! As it is traditionally made with pork or veal, we needed to find a vegetarian alternative. For this dish, we used a recipe from the book ‘Speedy Bosh‘ by Henry Firth and Ian Theasby. This meant that not only was it a vegan recipe, but it…

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…

Northern Ireland Starter – Ulster Fry
This week was St Patrick’s Day, so it seemed only right to celebrate. As the Head Chef for GGG is from Northern Ireland, we decided to pick out some Northern Irish treats. It wouldn’t be Northern Irish food, without an Ulster Fry! A classic breakfast consisting of sausages, bacon, eggs, black and white pudding, potato…

China Main – Dumplings
For the main we decided to make Chinese dumplings, as according to China Highlights, these are lucky to eat at New Year. We were a little ad-hoc with our filling for these, but we used a combination of recipes from Omnivore’s Cookbook and Red House Spice. For the filling we used pak choi, carrot, red…

China Starter – Spring Rolls
We decided to coincide our cooking this time with Chinese New Year, so we started with spring rolls. According to China Highlights, they are typically eaten at New Year and symbolise wealth. We loved how quick and easy these were to make! For our spring rolls we used a recipe from Steamy Kitchen. The website…
