A little something from the kitchen

Lebanese
Lahmacun, Turkish flatbread topped with minced meat, is one of the oldest fast foods in the world, eaten across the Middle East and Central Asia for centuries. The name means "bread with meat" in Arabic. This is a faster, more casual take on the same idea: spiced mince, pitta, high heat.

British
Tuna became a pantry staple in Britain during World War II, when fresh fish was hard to come by and tinned food was essential. Today the UK gets through over 100 million tins of tuna a year, it's the second most popular tinned food in the country after baked beans.

British
True sorbet contains no dairy, it's just fruit, sugar and water churned in an ice cream machine. Adding mascarpone technically makes this a semifreddo, Italian for "half frozen". The result is creamier and silkier than a sorbet with no machine required. Mascarpone's high fat content is what stops ice crystals forming.

Italian
Orzo is the Italian word for barley, though the pasta is made from wheat. Its grain-like shape makes it look a lot like rice, which is exactly why it works so well in one-pot dishes. Unlike regular pasta which sits in a sauce, orzo absorbs the liquid it cooks in, building a dish that is thick, cohesive and full of flavour throughout.
