Guinea is represented by Jus de Bissap (Bissap, a sorrel and mint drink with strawberry and vanilla syrup). I got to make strawberry syrup and vanilla syrup for this and everything smells amazing! I love seeing the different variations on this drink in different countries. This one was beautifully fragrant!

Guinea is represented by Bouille (sweet Guinean cornmeal porridge). Simple, quick, and tasty. I will be adding lemon juice to my polenta from now on!

Up next, Guinea-Bissau!

Grenada is represented by Cocoa tea. Living up to the name “Spice Island”, this tea is so fragrant. Beautiful way to finish the meal. Perfect for chilly mornings! Absolutely lovely.

Grenada is represented by Grenadian Fry Bake and Saltfish Souse. Amazing how something so far from ‘home’ feels so familiar. Fry Bake is so similar to Toutons that I had to have one with molasses! I think I may have a new Touton recipe! Some recipes land just right and immediately become part of rotation (I made El Salvador’s Sopa de Gallina again yesterday). This is one of those recipes! The molasses that is traditionally had with Toutons, comes from the Caribbean. The salt fish that is used to make Souce has historically come from Newfoundland! For this recipe, from Newfoundland too, as I had some that I brought back from my last trip to the Rock. So good. No leftovers!

Up next, Guatemala!

Greece is represented by Kokakia, Greek Mini Cream Puff Cakes. I missed the mini part. These were huge but delicious! The pastry cream was not as stiff as I would like – my experiments with alternatives to corn starch are still evolving – but so good. The recipe was so huge, I also made a cake with the excess batter.

Up next, Grenada!

Germany is represented by German Pancakes (Pfannkuchen). Somewhere between a Dutch baby and a crepe, these were a lovely sweet treat. Served with a very quick blueberry jam. Delicious!

Germany is represented by German meatballs (Königsberger klopse mit sosse) with boiled potatoes, pickled beets, and mustard. I had expectations of enjoying leftovers, given the proportions of the recipe. These were too delicious! They got gobbled up. So good. Perfect winter comfort food.
Up next, Ghana!

Georgia is represented by Muraba (fruit cooked in syrup)(მურაბა). I used to make brandied pears and this reminded me of that process. A sweet treat!

Georgia is represented by Khachapuri – Georgian Cheese Bread. This was lovely. I tried to go for the boat shape in the first one but surrendered to the shape of the pan with the second. Both delicious! I really liked the dough.

Up next, Germany!
