Tagliolini al nero di seppia con granchio – Venetian squid ink tagliolini with crab
Laura @FeelBetter
Sitting on the edge of one of the most beautiful canals in Venice is the most quintessential place to be to enjoy a chilled glass of prosecco and enjoy squid ink pasta with seafood. It’s busy on the canals, especially the Grand Canal, but it’s really relaxing watching the gondoliers gently kick off the bridges and using a remo (oar) glide their sleek gondolas by.
The gondola seems to have risen out of necessity due to the fact that there aren’t many bridges that cross the waters. Originally made from tree trunks with a flat bottom, shallow hull and pointed prow to easily navigate even the narrowest of Venetian canals.
I’ve brought back from Venice some lovely tagliolini al nero di sepia made from 100% durum wheat semolina, flavoured with squid ink and slow dried. It’s like tagliatelle but thinner and matches well with seafood. Huge spider crabs are eaten as crab salad or tossed with pasta and often served in their shells.
We have a native brown crab here in the waters surrounding the British Isles, Cancer Pagurus. For some reason it’s not very popular to eat crab here in Britain and so most are sold abroad. Their legs have a good quantity of white, sweet meat which is used at the end, the brown meat being used as a base for the sauce. It has a sublime taste and impressive nutritional credentials and perfect to accompany the squid ink pasta. #June2026 #CA2025

Spaghetti 🍝 Bolognese with meatballs
bolognese is a slowly cooked meat-based sauce, and its preparation involves several techniques, including sweating, sautéing and braising. Ingredients include a characteristic of onion, celery and carrot, different types of minced or finely chopped beef, often alongside small amounts of fat milk, and a small amount of tomato paste or tomatoes are added, and the dish is then gently simmered at length to produce a thick sauce.Outside Italy, the phrase "Bolognese sauce" is often used to refer to a tomato-based sauce to which minced meat has been added; such sauces typically bear little resemblance to the Italian bolognese, being more similar in fact to the napoletana from the tomato-rich south of the country. Although in Italy bolognese is not used with spaghetti (but rather with flat pasta, like tagliatelle), so-called "Spaghetti bolognese" has become a popular dish in many other parts of the worldcrushed tomatoesbay leafFreshly ground black pepper

Shawarma Pockets (Middle Eastern style)
Authentic Middle Eastern Shawarmas are totally different from those we invented in our country!! I was literally shocked when I first time ate a regular Pakistani shawarma! 😂😂👻So within my resources here, I tried to make this Middle Eastern touch shawarma, with their style of sauces, salad and chicken.For the meat, they actually use thin slices of meat that are then stacked together on a spit and then roasted on a vertical spit ( rod). Thin slices of the meat are then shaved off to serve as it roasts.But I have used marinated grilled chicken, as my husband can never eat these spice less Middle Eastern dishes. 😂

Curry khousay
#mentorshipKhousay pronounced “Co-Say” is a known Memon dish in Karachi, Pakistan. Memon’s are a sub sect group of Muslims from the Indian subcontinent, whose name came from the root word “Mu’min,” which means believer. Their lineage traces back to Sindh, India and later they had migrated to Gujrat, India. When the partition happened between India and Pakistan, many of them moved to settle in Karachi, Pakistan. A big city with lots of food and culture.though khousay is originally a burmese and thai dish called “khao suey,” memon’s modified it and adapted to make their own version. it is a very pungent and aromatic dish with depth of flavor and is probably the most popular dish in any memon home. cooked noodles in a flavorful coconut curry with a meat gravy topped with herbs and toppings is the delectable dish we memon’s call khousay.

Chap Shoro|Chicken Mince Paratha|Hunza Traditional Recipe
When last time I visited Hunza, we tried their traditional recipes, one of them was Chap Shoro (also popularly known as Hunza pie). "Chap" means "meat", so meat can be of your choice.It’s a simple and straightforward preparation of cooked minced meat stuffed and sealed between two whole wheat flatbreads, and then cooked over a skillet.Traditionally the dough uses a mix of cornmeal and whole wheat flours. The meat of Yak is also used traditionally, brushed with apricot oil or walnut oil.I happened to bring along these oils and their local spices like wild cumin and wild thyme. So I used walnut oil and wild cumin in this recipe.I'm glad that Khadija Khalid (kk_cookinggram) nominated me to try out Chapshoro, so now I pass the ball to my other fellow cooks to try it out.🙂@zobiasajjad@cook_16621862@cook_18592748

Katakat
#TAWACOOKINGThe best dish in tawa cooking is Kata katSome interesting fact about this dishKata-kat or tak-a-tak (Urdu: کٹاکٹ) is a special meat dish popular throughout Pakistan. It is a dish originating from Karachi, Pakistan made from offal (i.e., a mixture of various meat organs), including testicles, brain, kidney, heart, liver, lungs and lamb chops in butter. The dish's name is an onomatopoeia from the sound of the two sharp blades that heat the griddle as they cut up the meat. It is still an open question whether the correct name is kata-kat or tak-a-tak.Bcz we r home chef and we don’t have commercially sharp blades spoon, so we cut organs in tiny pieces before cooking and then cook on tawa.#SadafShoaibVohra

Lamb Mandi Pulao
bismi-llāhi aur-raḥmāni aur-rahim#joy Lamb Mandi PulaoLamb is a type of red meat that comes from young sheep. Not only is it a rich source of high-quality protein, but it is also an outstanding source of many vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. Because of this, regular consumption of lamb may promote muscle growth, maintenance, and performance.We started sacrificing Lamb/Sheep in occasion of Eid Ul Adha. In this way I started doing experiments with lamb meat. In begining I have to face difficulty in dealing with lamb meat because of a specific smell of the meat. But now with times I am successfully making almost every dish from lamb meat and no one can distinguish wether it is lamb or mutton.Today I. Sharing one of my recipe in which I use lamb meat and it comes out very tasty and delicious. The recipe is inspired from "Mandi" I have tasted in Makkah. After so many experiments I came out with this recipe which is not exact like that but very much similar. This is one of the fusion recipe of Mandi pulao. #anizanaveed#anizanaveedrecipes
