  • Pavlova with Berries 2 h 5 min 29 min

    Pavlova with Berries

    A crisp-shelled, marshmallow-soft meringue piled with whipped cream and fresh berries, the celebration dessert of Australia and New Zealand. Bake the base ahead and assemble just before serving. Adapted from “Pavlova” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Gave amounts for the cream, powdered sugar and fruit; the sugar is beaten in gradually rather than folded, and the meringue cools in the switched-off oven, as the source's notes suggest.

  • Crème Brûlée 4 h 3 min 25 min

    Crème Brûlée

    Silky vanilla custard baked gently in a water bath, chilled, then finished with a layer of sugar caramelised until it cracks under the spoon. Adapted from “Crème Brûlée III” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Doubled to 4 ramekins with vanilla as the flavouring and less sugar on top (1 tbsp per ramekin); the water bath now comes halfway up the ramekins.

  • Vanilla Panna Cotta with Berry Sauce 4 h 13 min 18 min

    Vanilla Panna Cotta with Berry Sauce

    Italy's 'cooked cream': vanilla-speckled cream barely set with gelatine, turned out and served in a pool of bright berry sauce. Five minutes on the stove, then the fridge does the rest. Adapted from “Panna Cotta (Basic)” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Gelatine doubled to 1½ tsp and softened in water instead of cream so the panna cotta sets firmly enough to turn out; added a quick blended berry sauce to serve.

  • Kugelis (Lithuanian Potato Pudding) 2 h 22 min 42 min

    Kugelis (Lithuanian Potato Pudding)

    Lithuania's favourite potato bake: finely grated potatoes and onion mixed with smoky bacon, eggs and milk, baked into a slab with a crisp golden crust. Cut into squares and serve hot with plenty of sour cream. Adapted from “Kugelis (Lithuanian Baked Potato Pudding)” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Scaled from a 9×13-inch tray to about two thirds (6 servings), with the bacon diced instead of crumbled; added a 10-minute rest and the optional marjoram the source mentions in its introduction.

  • Shakshuka 41 min 14 min

    Shakshuka

    Eggs gently set in a pan of tomatoes, sweet red pepper, chile and plenty of garlic, all warmed by paprika. Bring it to the table in the pan with bread for mopping up. Adapted from “Shakshuka I” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Oil halved to 3 tbsp; added a 10-minute simmer so the tomatoes thicken before the eggs go in, and a lid to set the whites. Parsley moved from the notes into the recipe. Photo: Calliopejen1, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons (“Shakshuka by Calliopejen1”).

    Tortilla Española (Spanish Potato Omelette)

    Spain's thick potato omelette: sliced potatoes and onions cooked slowly in olive oil, then set with beaten eggs and flipped onto a plate.
