Popular world dishes to make yourself

To be fair, Dutch cuisine is not particularly refined. Every now and then cooking according to another world cuisine is therefore a pleasant change. Could you use a little inspiration in that regard? In this article we take you on culinary 'world trip' through 6 mouthwatering foreign dishes.

Spain: Paella

Paella is a traditional Spanish rice dish that stands out because of its deep yellow color. The rice owes its color to the saffron that is cooked with the rice. Depending on the region where the recipe comes from and of course on your personal preferences, it is served with meat, fish or shellfish (or a combination thereof).

Thailand: Pad Thai

Pad Thai is one of the most popular dishes in the world. It owes its popularity to its simplicity and taste. A good Pad Thai contains (flat) rice noodles, egg, tofu, king prawns, bean sprouts, spring onions, peanuts and lime. The sauce is made from tamarind beans, but you can also simply buy it in a jar.
