San Marino


Swallows nest pasta (nidi di rondine) from San Marino is as Instagramable as they come -- just look how adorable! Cooked lasagne noodles are filled with proscuitto, fontina, bechamel, basil, and parmesan, then rolled and cooked in marinara sauce. Teenager said it was his favorite meal so far. This traditional recipe may be a nod to San Marino's flag, which features three castle towers. Thank you world, for giving us another shot at Italian food!

I ate a bunch of pierogi when I lived in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, but they were nowhere near as good as these. Will make again for sure. 03/08/22

Somalia's food reflects the east African country's proximity to the Middle East and India. Lots of spices and chilies. This is a poor country (their top export is live animals, which I found terrifying and did not explore) where camels are eaten, but they also consume a lot of vegetables and rice and season their meals well. We loved the spiced Somali rice, perfumed with cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and cumin. Our vegetable was cabbage stewed with turmeric, cumin, ginger, chile pepper, and sesame seeds.   10/1/20
