Hyper-local cuisine has gone global. As a melting pot of cultures, London boasts an eternally expanding food scene. While craving authentic flavours is never not a trend and nothing new to the culinary landscape, hyper-local, or hyper-regional, cuisine is pinning its place on the map. Discerning diners now have a preference for unknown foreign culinary experiences – from unique and specific tastes to traditional styles of cooking. Instead of Italian, it’s Venetian cuisine, or the rich spicy flavours found specifically in Huế, Vietnam. Whether it’s true-to-form regional offerings like Kolae's southern Thai fare and Sonora Taquería's ode to Sonoran food, or third-culture cuisines that feature local dishes merged with British techniques like Korean cuisine from Sollip, the city can satiate any craving or curiosity for authentic tastes without you having to hop on a flight.

Here, again, my special menu featuring Italian regional cuisine specialties Capponmagro is one of the most emblematic dishes of Ligurian culinary tradition, with origins dating back to the 17th century. Originally a humble dish, it has become a symbol of Genovese cuisine. Initially, Capponmagro was a dish consumed by sailors and fishermen during periods of fasting imposed by the Church. It was made with simple, readily available ingredients: hardtack (a type of dry bread), seasonal vegetables, and inexpensive fish. Over time, the recipe evolved to include more luxurious ingredients, transforming it into a culinary masterpiece that is both complex and visually striking. The name "Capponmagro" is curious and intriguing with a special history. It likely derives from the combination of "cappone" (a type of fattened, castrated rooster often used in rich dishes) and "magro" (referring to the fact that the dish, despite its opulence, contains no meat and is thus suitable for fasting days). This contrast between richness and simplicity is reflected in the preparation of the dish, which requires great care and skill to layer fish, vegetables, and sauces in a harmonious and visually appealing manner. Today, Capponmagro is considered a gastronomic masterpiece and is served in the finest restaurants in Liguria, representing a bridge between popular cuisine and haute cuisine, between history and culinary innovation. #viaggioinitaly #onlineitalianlessons

Episode 81: Meyhanes hold a special place in Turkish culinary culture, serving as more than just places to eat and drink. Traditionally, they are social hubs where people gather to share stories, critique life, and offer support to one another. The focus is not on heavy meals but on small plates of meze–a cornerstone of Turkish cuisine, reflecting the country’s rich cultural tapestry. Meyhanes also embody the spirit of communal dining, where the experience is as much about the conversation as it is about the food. The ambiance is typically modest, with soft music playing in the background, allowing for meaningful interactions. Over time, meyhanes have evolved, but they remain a vital part of Turkey’s social and culinary landscape, preserving traditions while adapting to modern tastes.
