Soirée, family gathering or midnight snack? Our colleagues from Hanoi to Hamburg, Lima to Lagos share what home tastes like..

There are dishes that end arguments, unite families, and fix broken hearts. Some have been passed down for generations, others were improvised on busy weeknights, or inspired on quiet Sunday afternoons. What connects them isn’t complexity. Cooking for someone is one of the simplest, most genuine ways of saying we care.

In this collection, colleagues from around the world share the dishes they turn to: for everyday meals, family traditions, and everything in between. Explore zesty stews, fragrant dahls, and sweet treats. And who knows? Maybe you’ll find just the recipe you didn’t know you needed.
