Persian Rice with Potato Tahdig

This Iranian dish pairs fluffy buttery saffron rice with crispy fried potatoes! This is easily one of my favourite dishes of all time.

Trinidad Pelau with Chicken

Pelau is a one-pot rice dish made with pigeon peas, chicken (or beef), coconut milk and "burnt" sugar. This family recipe has been a staple weeknight dinner at my house for years.

Oven Baked Rice Pudding with Jam

This easy hands-off method of making rice pudding gives you all the flavour, without the fuss. Get the recipe from my friend Janice over on her website, BakeSchool.com.
