The Israeli way – Sabich
This is Israel’s version of a wholesome, healthy and flavourful sandwich. Pita or laffa bread is stuffed with hard boiled eggs, fried eggplants, chopped vegetables, optional meat parsley, tahini sauce and a tangy pickle called amba.
The burst of flavors doesn’t stop at the first bite, but it lasts as long as your sandwich does!
The Australian way – Pavlova
A meringue based dessert, Australia’s Pavlova is a crisp sweet dish that is light and fluffy inside. This dessert has the most perfect texture you could desire. It is made using egg whites slowly baked in an oven. This allows them to have a crispy texture on the outside, while they remain unbearably soft and cloudy on the inside.
Pavlova is topped with whipped cream and an assortment of fresh fruits which makes it the perfect meal-finisher!
The Danish way – Smørrebrød
The only thing better than a sandwich is an open-faced sandwich! The Danes understand this too well, hence their favorite egg dish just so happens to be a delicious open faced sandwich. Best enjoyed with a beer or a glass of wine, Smørrebrød uses rye bread, cucumber, shrimp, tomato and other fresh vegetables, and hard boiled eggs. For a heavy meal, add butter!
The Danes love to eat this open faced sandwich during spring and summer, often when they’re out for picnics under the sun.

Salviata is a deliciously living proof that simple is beautiful. The Tuscan recipe has been passed down for ages. With a handful of flavourful ingredients, Salviata always manages to make a statement. If that doesn’t get your attention, maybe this will – it has sage!
