All The Pie's recipes are darned good, natch. But here are some particular favourites. If you have anything to say on the subject, Vote Here.

A Friday Sandwich.      
A grilled aubergine sandwich. The perfect accompaniment for American sitcoms.
Ful Medames      

An acquired taste, maybe, but a big favourite at breakfast time in Alexandria. Basically, boiled beans.
Moroccan salad      

Goodness! Who'd have thought that oranges and olives would go so well together?
Gâteau Pithiviers: Pig-out à la français.      

A confection of almonds, brandy and puff pastry. The only dish The Pie has made that looked like an illustration from a woman's magazine.
TARKA DHAL WITH HAAK AND CHAPPATIS      

If The Pie is ever on death row, this will be his request for a last meal. (Could buy some time!)
An Omodos Cake      
The Chutzpah of The Pie! Baking a traditional Cypriot Semolina cake to give to people in Cyprus!
Tofu stir-fried with coriander and chilli      

What's this slimy white stuff doing in my mouth? Tofu - never guessed it could be edible.
African/ Brazilian Black-eye Pea Fritters      

Ace wee fried things.
Börekler.      

Wee Turkish pies, sort of a cross between ravioli and Cornish pasties.
Moosewood Potato, Pea and Paneer Curry      

A Pie staple. Actually, the "paneer" is cottage cheese.
A Greek Butty      

Halloumi sandwiches (a type of cheese that stays solid when grilled). If you ever stay in a Cypriot resort, you will have to eat these every lunch time.
Pasta and Rocket alla River Cafe      

Simple but efffective.

Good plain home curry      

Chickpeas, potatoes, char-grilled aubergines. Nice!
Une grande fromage malodoureuse.      

A whole brie, cooked in its box and served with things to dip. Remember and stop puring the wine before it rubs all over the floor.
Greasy baps.      

Big mushroom sandwhiches from the Fat Chancellor's lassie. Highly recommende by all who try it.

Minimalist Tomatoes      

A Nigel Slater recipe. Basically, tomatoes baked with butter and basil. You hardly need to look at the recipe now.

Manky Veg      

Kimchi - the national pickle of Korea. Take a cabbage. Add some salt and stuff. Wait till it stinks to bejaysus. Eat. TRUST ME! It's good. Said not to be a great favourite of Madeleine Allbright.
Official: The easiest recipe in the world. (Roast Squash)      

Slice it. Scoop it out. Top with cheese. Roast it. Enday story.
The Matzo Variations      

Variations on Matzo Brei - a traditional Jewish scrambled-eggs-with-giant-cream-crackers combo. Breakfast will never be the same again, already. Weetabix? Schmeetabix!
