Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish dishes are particularly suitable for a relaxed meal with family or guests. Oven vegetables, pita, salads, pasta, grilled dishes, dips and small starters can often be prepared and placed together in the middle of the table.

How to quickly find the right recipe

Select to taste

Think first of all about what you want: fresh and light, spicy and hot, creamy, hearty or particularly uncomplicated. Mediterranean and Greek dishes go well with vegetables, fish and summer evenings. Chinese, Thai and Korean recipes are ideal if you fancy wok dishes, rice, noodles and strong sauces.

Cook according to existing ingredients

Many recipes are easy to adapt. Rice, pasta, potatoes, vegetables, legumes, eggs and fresh herbs are good foundations for many cuisines. Instead of just one ingredient, you can often use seasonal vegetables or a vegetarian alternative.

Decide on the type of preparation

Wok, pan and pasta are particularly good for quick dishes, and the oven is handy for casseroles, oven vegetables and stews. Grill recipes, salads, dips and small starters are great for warm days or a meal with guests.

Simply cook international cuisine at home

You don't need a whole new stock for every kitchen. With some basic ingredients you can already prepare many different dishes, such as good oil, rice, pasta, canned tomatoes, garlic, onions, lemons, fresh herbs, spices and matching sauces.

For Mediterranean dishes, olive oil, pasta, tomatoes, herbs and cheese are helpful. For Asian-inspired dishes, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic and rice are good options. Indian recipes include curry, cumin, turmeric, garam masala and coconut milk.

This way you can discover many kitchens without having to buy a lot of new ingredients every time.

International Recipes for Everyday Life and Guests

For everyday life, dishes that work with just a few ingredients and can be flexibly adapted are ideal. Pasta, pan dishes, rice dishes, curries, soups and salads are often uncomplicated and quick to prepare.

For guests, you can combine several small dishes from one kitchen. A Mediterranean evening succeeds with bruschetta, salad, pasta, grilled vegetables and a dessert. For an Asian-inspired evening, dumplings, soup, fried rice, wok vegetables and pasta go well together. Thus, a varied meal is created, where everyone can taste different dishes.
