Metro - Cook the world under one roof with international recipes

At this point in the summer, you might be tiring of the usual seasonal fare – burgers, hot dogs and corn on the cob. So liven things up with recipes from around the world! One thing all countries can agree on? Olive oil, so be sure to pick up Irresistibles Extra Virgin Olive Oil before you fire up the grill.

Salmon turns Japanese with this easy to follow Salmon Steaks Teriyaki recipe. The sweetness of the teriyaki and aperitif wine plays well against the fresh acidity of an accompanying Fruit Salsa.

Chicken can be sooo boring. But the exotic spicing of Grilled Tandoori Chicken Supreme will make it a must-have recipe for the entire family.

Go Greek with Grilled Eggplant Stuffed with Feta Cheese and Black Olives. Grilling the eggplant makes all the difference in the world – just watch as former eggplant doubters become fans because of this recipe.

Forgo the ho-hum green salad for once and make something exciting, such as Moroccan Green Bean Salad. The addition of grilled zucchini, dried apricots and sliced black olives makes it an enticing choice.

And for dessert, do as the Italians do and finish with a refreshing panna cotta. This Summerberry Coconut recipe is light, but offers the same velvety goodness of the original recipe.

Just because you’re eating at home doesn’t mean you can’t travel the world. All you need are the right recipes – no passport required.
