Cuisines
The cooking traditions in this store. A recipe can have more than one tradition. Most good cooking does.
French
The codified European tradition of stocks, mother sauces and precise knife work — the source of most professional kitchen vocabulary.
British
Cooking of the British Isles: roasts, pies, puddings and preserves, built around long oven heat and a strong preserving tradition.
Cajun
Louisiana country cooking from French-speaking Acadian settlers. Built on a dark roux and the "holy trinity" of onion, celery and green pepper, and usually cooked down in one pot.
German
Central European cooking with a deep charcuterie and pickling tradition: cured pork, sour vegetables, rye and beer.
Mexican
Mesoamerican cooking built on nixtamalised corn, dried and fresh chillies, and toasted aromatics ground into sauces.
Portuguese
Atlantic cooking of salt cod, piri-piri, olive oil and slow pork — a major influence on South African and Mozambican food.
South African
A layered cuisine of Dutch, Malay, British, Portuguese and indigenous traditions. Strong on open-fire cooking and dried, spiced meat.
