Algerian ‘ Zrodiya Mcharmla’ – Carrots With Vinegar

‘Zrodiya Mcharmla’ also known as ‘Carottes au vinaigre’ is a very famous carrot dish in Algeria. This is actually delicious & isn’t hard to make…beautiful with roast chicken! For a change to the carrots, you can also use courgette / zucchini or potato in its place.

Jamaican Pumpkin Soup

My wife and I went to the Grand Lido Braco resort in Jamaica and as soon as we arrived to the property, the first thing I wanted to do was to eat some Jamaican food.

Brazilian Potato Salad Aka

*THIS IS AN ADOPTED RECIPE AS OF 16 AUGUST 2006.* Pronounced “mayonais-ie” this is one of my favorite food discoveries as a wife of a Brazilian. I have had this served to me at many Brasilian cook-outs, called “churrasco” in Brazil, and have had it in restaurants both in the U.S. and Brazil – This version comes from the kitchen of my wonderful mother-in-law, Dona Alvina. She uses canned corn, but the canned corn in Brazil is different (firmer?) that what I’ve found in the US, so I use frozen corn.
