Hawaii, USA
Hawaii is a really extraordinary spot – ask any individual who has been there. Whenever you have been, you think constantly about returning. Until we can return, an extraordinary method for feeling somewhat nearer is to nibble on something that helps you to remember being there! Hawaii has a scope of astounding food to attempt; the garlic shrimp from the food trucks on the North Shore, Jab bowls, new coconut and astonishing fish. Guests are spoilt for decision in this gorgeous spot!
Give is well known overall as a brand of canned pineapple, and there is a valid justification! Extraordinarily tasty, relatively few individuals know that this yummy little piece is from Hawaii. Guests can really venture out to the pineapple ranch on Oahu, and Give is accessible across the island, both in jars and as ‘Give whip’, a mouth-watering, sans dairy, pineapple seasoned ‘frozen yogurt’. Pay special attention to the truck at the lower part of the Precious stone Head climb – an ideal cool treat after a sweat-soaked walk!
Spam is accessible everywhere, and is a canned meat item that became well known after The Second Great War. For what reason does it help me to remember Hawaii? Hawaiians are infamous for their adoration for Spam, and it is in many cases called ‘Hawaiian Steak’. There is even a celebration consistently to committed to the canned cooking, and numerous Hawaiian recipes have stretched out to incorporate Spam, including sushi, and it is even accessible as a component of a McDonalds breakfast. On our most memorable visit to the grocery store, we were stunned and glad to see the quantity of assortments of Spam on offer; for sure, there was just about a whole Spam passageway! It is presently something we will constantly connect with Hawaii and our time there.
The environment of Hawaii is phenomenal for some reasons, yet one of them is the food sources they can develop all year, as yummy Macadamias! Furthermore, in the event that that wasn’t at that point sufficient – they cover them in chocolate, and sell them essentially all over the place. Generally, because of their irregularity, chocolate-covered Macadamias are costly. Notwithstanding, in Hawaii, they are not difficult to track down, and, surprisingly, more delightful for their newness – there are additionally a few manors to visit, where you can purchase (and test!) an enormous assortment of Macadamia items. Fortunate we were so dynamic on our excursion, generally how much chocolate Macadamias we consumed would have in short order become an issue!
The best thing pretty much these things is that they are effectively accessible at your neighborhood general store! You can have a go at making your own ‘Give Whip’, cook some Spam with your eggs, or cover your own Macadamias in chocolate! Proceed to taste a touch of Hawaii for yourself – my pleasure.

Pao de queijo, Brazilian cheddar bread
Brazil
Brazil isn’t especially known for its food. That is the reason I was truly amazed by the wealth of extraordinary nearby dishes and the different cooking when I visited the country in 2019. From good stews to lovely treats, from extraordinary natural product smoothies to mouth-watering road food, the scope of choices was huge and choosing what to eat was a test in itself!
I’ve picked three of my number one Brazilian food varieties which I habitually reproduce at home. Enjoying these dishes returns me to the time I spent in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro investigating the roads, getting a charge out of neighborhood cooking and encountering the remarkable culture of Brazil.
Custard crepes, a famous road food, are slender white flapjacks with a chewy surface. Made with just custard flour, a sprinkle of water and a touch of salt, they are normally sans gluten and can be presented with various garnishes like margarine, cheddar, ham, bananas, coconut, chocolate, or strawberries. My undisputed top choice is a custard crepe with consolidated milk and bananas.
One more bite that I can’t get enough of is the Brazilian cheddar bread or pão de queijo. Very much like custard crepes, pão de queijo is sans gluten as it’s made with custard flour which is blended in with eggs, oil, milk and ground cheddar. Subsequent to folding the batter into little balls and baking them for 30 minutes, you’ll wind up with a plate brimming with brilliant little puffs that are fresh outwardly and chewy and messy within.
To wrap things up, I need to feature brigadeiros – a Brazilian rendition of chocolate truffles. These sublime treats are made by blending consolidated milk, cocoa powder and spread. The combination is molded into scaled down balls which are then covered with chocolate sprinkles. Brazilians have a famously sweet tooth and brigadeiros are the ideal illustration of this so prepare for a sugar rush in the event that you choose to try this recipe out!

Tostones, twofold seared green plantains.
Puerto Rico
For a Puerto Rican, living in Los Angeles isn’t ideal with regards to food. There are practically no cafés offering dishes from the island. To that end I have gathered a rundown of simple to make recipes that bring me back home in an impulse (I leave more muddled arrangements for ends of the week or exceptional events). Here I am sharing a portion of my top choices.
I think all Puerto Ricans have a unique put on their heart for tostones (called patacones in different nations). This treat is ready by twofold broiling bits of green plantains. They can be eaten without anyone else (sprinkled with a touch of salt), with garlic sauce (magic) or a mix of mayonnaise and ketchup.
