Dinner sorted: easy dishes from around the world

Over the past two years, very few of us have had the opportunity to travel abroad. But you can still eat your way around the world, from your own table, with these recipes inspired by international cuisines.

I won’t pretend that any of these recipes are absolutely authentic, but each of them draws inspiration, in terms of flavors and techniques, from another country and another culture. And of course, they are all simple, tasty and nutritious.
