Tired of eating the same old barbecue basics all summer long? Put hot dogs and hamburgers on the back burner and elevate your grill game with this succulent dish instead.
Nachos were created in the '40s by Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, the maître d' of a Mexican restaurant, who layered chips, cheese and jalapeño peppers as a makeshift canapé for unexpected guests. As Nacho proved, you don't need a recipe—it's all about a crunchy base, bite-size toppings and finger-licking sauce. We love how easy these snacks come together using a variety of tantalizing flavour combos.
You can use pickled vegetables to season other foods. In this easy breakfast-for-dinner hash, rich eggs and crispy bits of Polish sausage are balanced with tangy sauerkraut, which brings both salt and vinegar to the dish.

Speducci is an Italian traditional meal originating from the Aruzzo region of Italy. Traditionally, Speducci is made with lamb meat cut into small chunks and cubed for inserting into wooden skewers. However, you can choose any type of meat (or vegetable) to build your own unique Speducci, just remember to marinate your choice meat and vegetables overnight for best results.
This would be a great dish to prepare for dad on Father's Day to bring home a taste of Italy and wow him on his special day!
