Denmark
Easier to make than it is to say! The traditional dish uses ymer, Denmark's version of sour milk, but in this recipe uses natural yoghurt instead. It's topped with berries and sprinkled with ymerdys, a crunchy sweet topping made from rye bread.

Venezuala
Made from cornmeal, these soft-centred, crisp-outered little discs are an absolute staple of Venezuelan cuisine. They can be topped simply with jam, or sliced through the centre and filled with more hearty ingredients like fried eggs and chorizo, cheese and salsa, or grilled beef strips. They make a fun change from pancakes or toast, and good for brunch entertaining. Keep them warm wrapped in a tea towel (if they last that long).

What's the best part about eggs on toast? The condiments, right? So why not turn the condiments into an actual main dish, and cook the eggs in it? Genius.

China
Because congee doesn't always have to be savoury. This sweet version is served with medicinal goodies like ginko nuts, dates, goji berries, raisins and sweet-tasting white fungus.
Greece
There's a reason this dish has stuck around since the 6th-century BCE... and we're guessing it may have something to do with the combination of golden puffs of dough fried in olive oil, and a ricotta and honey topping.

These popular Thai pikelets are a coconut lover's dream: the batter includes coconut cream and fresh coconut flesh, and the pikelets are fried in nutty coconut oil. They're crisp and light, but with a little bit of bite from the sticky rice flour.

Now you don't have to travel to Sweden or IKEA to enjoy these soft, light and deliciously sticky cinnamon rolls. Whether you choose to bite straight into them, or unravel the coils and eat them layer by layer, is a very personal choice.
East Africa
You’ll need to start this recipe with enough time to let the wholemeal-flour dough rest for an hour. Then you’ll be rolling it out, folding up little pockets of fragrantly spiced lamb mince, frying them until golden, serving them with yoghurt mixed with fresh coriander, and feeling pretty chuffed with yourself for the rest of the day.
Sri Lanka
