How does one actually build a useful repository of recipes for different cuisines? Like, I have the Silver Spoon which is a pretty good cross section of Italian cooking. I know more than enough variations of the typical french mother sauces to get the principles without a need for a recipe. I know from various Euro cuisines particular flavors that pair well I could build a dish around (like, I could make a goat cheese and caramelized onion soup without the need of someone telling me a recipe). I don't have any such data sets for other cuisines, and you know the recipe website world is a hell scape.
Tried and true method is: Cook often, try new things, and save it if you like it.
Get a blank notebook (or a 3-ring binder) and collect recipes yourself as you try them. You can write recipes in by hand, or print them off & punch for the 3-ring binder.
Go to restaurants which serve food you want to explore, and take a picture of the food, record the name of it on the menu, and note some of the ingredients that you can identify in it.
If you live in a small town with not many places that serve 'foreign' food nearby, get off google. Use DuckDuckGo or Brave as a search engine. They have very few ads and the search algorithm prefers when you get to the point in your recipe blog, rather than dicking around with your life story.
Do a little tour on your world map. Focus on countries, search for food from that country, then search for specific kinds of food from that country. Search for things like "Authentic Turkish Stewed Chicken" "Traditional Brazillian Goat Recipe" "Hong Kong Street Food Recipe" "Collection of Taiwan Recipes" "25 amazing Korean dishes" "10 best Cajun Soul Food Recipes" "Dominican Republic Cuisine Recipes"
Go watch cooking tiktoks that aren't european-centric; go out of your way to find them.
Go down a list of spices and pick one you've never tried before. Look up where it's traditionally used, and try to find some dishes that use that spice!
Go to your Local Library and dig into their cookbook section. Every library has one! Look for cookbooks focused on cuisines you don't know yet, and try those recipes!
If you're cool spending money on this, go to Half Price Books or other book-reselling stores where you can find cook books at really low prices. Again, explore the cuisines you're not familiar with.
If you have grocery stores for other cultures near you, go into their grocery! Check out what spices have a shitload of different brands on display, and pick one at random. Seek out a recipe that uses that new spice you just bought.
And remember: Write that shit down!
You can always have a little guide at the front or back of your recipe collection that explains different spice blends, or explains key sauces, or anything else!
You can keep a little guide on how roasting spices changes them, and your experiments with that.
You can keep a list of bread recipes, or cooking hacks like how to make really good naan without a woodfire grill.
---
Personally, I'm forgetful. I forget sites exist, forget logins, and lose passwords all the time. I have about a hundred recipe collections across about as many websites, and I know where like, 3 of them are right now. Many of those websites have gone down, and my lists are lost forever.
The book of recipe & food-tips collection I've kept & used the longest - my Food Grimoire - is a physical item that I can misplace in my house but never truly lose. It can't have its server crash or website maintenance suddenly be abandoned and blip out of existence.

Just from the top of my head I'd dabble in some Italian, Chinese (Mandarin and/or Cantonese), Hindi, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, Spanish (which I already speak but there's obviously still things to learn when it comes to local delicacies), Japanese...
Actually I should just do a day where I try to learn food and restaurant vocabulary in all the languages I love the cuisine of
#You can tell that in my area it's mostly just pizza places various Asian restaurants and Turkish kebab#There's so many cuisines I still need to try out#I've never had Ethiopian food and it sounds so good#Also most of the Asian restaurants where I'm from are like different cuisines thrown together to appeal to the German taste#It's like the owners are Vietnamese but they do sushi thai curry and vaguely Chinese inspired chicken sweet sour#Because that's what sells#there are some really good places like we have a great Thai restaurant close to us and I remember having really good Vietnamese food once#Was either of it authentic? I don't know I've been to neither country but it sure was good#God I'm hungry

The whole trip had been a disaster. John had not been able to enjoy a single second. Arabs were loud and pushy. Petra had been broken and dirty. At the Gulf of Aqaba he had had the worst sunburn of his life. And he had diarrhea all the time. He had let every waiter, every guide, every cab driver know that he didn't like it in Jordan at all. He was convinced that these barbarians did not understand English anyway. That's why he insulted everyone through and through. He had not allowed himself to be deprived of this pleasure. John was so rude and so pushy that his reputation had preceded him by a long way. First, hotels had gone to the trouble of trying to appease him with the best rooms and the best service. In the end, he got the treatment he deserved: The worst!
Even on the way to the airport had not withdrawn in the cab. The cab driver found it very difficult to stay calm. But he couldn't resist wishing John a nice day and a good flight in his best English. And then cursing him in Arabic. It was a good curse. And it worked fast.
John didn't even notice that he spoke only Arabic at the Amman airport. As soon as he entered the building, English had completely disappeared from his memory. John was much too busy to hand in his suitcase as quickly as possible, to get his boarding pass and to get through the security check. And actually, that worked out much better and smoother in Arabic than if he had had to struggle through in English. He even calmed down to some extent and finally enjoyed good American cuisine again at Mc Donald's in the terminal.
On the plane, he had the reserved window seat. That had worked out as well. Only his seat neighbor he had not been able to understand at first. So he had to ask. His neighbor was more than happy that the foreign-looking man spoke his language perfectly, and a conversation quickly developed about sports and politics. Both men liked soccer. And both men shared the opinion that the influence of the USA and Israel had to be limited. In Istanbul, both men said goodbye cordially.
Istanbul's new airport was huge. Fortunately, almost all signs were in Turkish, English and Arabic. Still, the passage through security was arduous. He looked a bit enviously at the passengers with passports from Europe and North America. With them, the check went faster. But a Jordanian passport and then also the army backpack as hand luggage did not make things easier. Fortunately, he got through the check quickly enough to get to a prayer room in time. He didn't want to miss the Friday noon prayer while traveling.
Hamza still had some time before his connecting flight to New York. He wanted to eat something in any case, as long as he could get some authentic Arabic cuisine. And take advantage of the fact that there were still standing toilets here at the airport. With the infidels you had to sit down, he had heard. The closer he got to the U.S., the greater his respect for traveling there. Strange food, strange toilets, and a language he didn't speak. He knew a few bits of English from school. But that probably wouldn't help him. He had heard, however, that the people there were supposed to be hospitable and tolerant.
Hamza had a respectful stature. And the wife beater, the kufiya and his tattoos certainly contributed to a badass appearance. But that didn't stop the American retiree behind him from loudly complaining that all Arabs, like the half-naked savage in front of him, were guaranteed terrorists. Thank Allah! Hamza did not understand a word of it.
Realized at the request of @hottfguys. May Allah protect you!

Authentic Turkish Shawarma
This typical Turkish street food is bursting with flavour and is served on a Pide (Turkish bread) with garlic sauce and sometimes also with tomato sauce.
Ingredients for the Shawarma:
800 grams of lamb
1 bunch of spring onions
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
Ingredients for the Shawarma spices:
2 teaspoons of cumin powder
2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper from the mill
2 teaspoons of paprika powder
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
2 teaspoons of ginger powder
2 teaspoons of coriander powder
1 teaspoon of freshly ground sea salt from the mill
1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon of ground cloves
Preparation:
Step 1:
Cut the spring onions into rings. Cut the bell peppers into thin strips.
Step 2:
Put the cumin, black pepper, paprika powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, coriander, sea salt, cinnamon, turmeric, cloves and cayenne pepper in a bowl and mix well with a whisk.
Step 3:
Mix the Shawarma spices, spring onion and bell pepper well through the meat and leave it covered with cling film in the refrigerator for about 4 hours so that all the flavors of the spice mix can be absorbed by the meat.
Step 4:
Put the meat in a large wok without oil or butter and fry it in its own fat that is released.
Step 5:
Cut a Pide (Turkish bread) in half and toast it in a dry frying pan or cut a pita bread in half and heat it in a toaster. Then top it with raw endive, Shawarma, garlic sauce or tomato sauce, cucumber slices and tomato slices.
Serve it with Garlic Sauce, Tomato Sauce and Pickeld Jalapeno Peppers from the Sera brand.
NOTE:
You can also replace the lamb with pork.
Authentic Turkish Garlic sauce
Ingredients:
250 ml mayonnaise
1 bulb of garlic
2 tablespoons of dried parsley
Preparation:
Put the mayonnaise in a bowl. Peel and squeeze the garlic over the mayonnaise and stir well. Stir in the parsley. Cover the bowl with cling film and let it season in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Serve the Garlic Sauce with Shawarma.
Authentic Turkish Tomato sauce
Ingredients:
160 grams of tomato ketchup
1 tomato
1 onion
1 teaspoon of Sambal Oelek
Preparation:
Peel and finely chop the onion. Cut the tomato in half and remove the seeds with a teaspoon, then cut the tomato into very small pieces. Put the onion, tomato, tomato ketchup and Sambal Oelek in a bowl and stir well. Cover with cling film and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Serve the Tomato Sauce with Shawarma.

The croatian Hasanabi head here again - his takes about food are so bad it’s amazing, I’m fascinated. The immigrant food equivalent he’s looking for is Turkish food because of the Ottoman empire but nobody is telling him that because they think he’s a dumb American but also there’s so many authentic Croatian dishes that aren’t seafood and show up when you simply look up croatian food but for some reason he’s not doing that?? I am blown away by how odd he is because most of this would show up if you just googled it like dalmatinska pašticada or lamb are definitely things he’d enjoy
his beautiful mind is such a mystery

Any South Korea and Turkey hcs??
I've already covered a lot in my korea and turkey hcs, but if you insist!!
- older brother/younger sister dynamic. obviously south korea is older than he is, he was born around the goryeo dynasty, so he wasn't even around to see silla(sk) and goguryeo(nk) scrapping for hundreds of years. but they still have this dynamic because we refer to turkey as our "older brother nation." that's because of how well they took care of korean orphans and even set up a school for them in the korean war, that's why a lot of koreans hold positive views of turkey and turkish people!
- i think around the postwar era korea relied a lot on the allies she made during the war to act as emotional support to fill in the void her older brother left behind, with one of them being turkey, who probably stuffed her mouth with sweet treats and tea to comfort her.
- when turkey rebranded into türkiye, korea immediately changed official signs and such to follow suit. we used to use 터키, and then changed to 튀르키예 to match the rebranded, authentic name. I haven't seen many other countries do this, so that's a win !!
- speaking of such, traditional korean desserts aren't as sweet as turkish sweets. baklava CLEARS 꿀떡(rice cake with syrup filling) easily in the field of sweetness. she probably choked on the sweet syrup while eating şekerpare for the first time.
- she gave turkey buldak once. he cried. she laughed. it was all recorded too
- turkey knows korean and uses that to check his food, korea knows turkish and uses it to talk to locals on her trips to turkey
- during şeker bayramı, turkey gives korea money as a gift whenever he can. she appreciates the free money
- for his birthday she buys him designer lol. watches, other accessories...LV sneakers. the more expensive the gift is the bigger the flex(and the more you care about them)
- a memorable moment in particular was when korea struggled to wrap a hijab to enter the blue mosque. he also struggled to help her. that's when a bunch of turkish aunties rushed in to help her put it on. her face was red afterwards lol
- korea got him into krap and krnb. he's not too much of a kpop guy but I like to think he has a soft spot for certain girl groups. now I could say bts blackpink and twice since those seem like the most popular groups in turkey but honestly? he seems like more of a fromis_9 and G-IDLE guy...no idea what boy groups he'd listen to though.
- she takes him to photobooths to take pics whenever he comes over! the first time, she made the mistake of suggesting he wear the flower sprout headband to match her butterfly one....and he gave her a stare she'd never seen before. she quickly dismissed the idea,
- he tells her about his time as the ottoman empire, she tells him all about her life as silla, then goryeo, then joseon(with the last 2 titles shared by her brother). she tells him about her brother as well, since he never got a chance to meet him like america, england, france, and other european nations.
- remember turkey nomadlarping to the central asians and mongolia? bro unironically calls him and korea the altaic duo at times
- she tried to do those tiktok dance challenges other kpop idols do when they invite other group members to dance with them. he slipped once 💀
- korea loves his food. she will EASILY pay 8000won for a doner kebab bc man that sauce...hits different. she goes to turkish restaurants on occasion when she gets cravings for them. in turn, turkey loves her food as well! and she always tries to find spots where they can both eat together
- drama duo. DRAMA DUO. they both have the overdramatic historical dramas, korea has the meet cute ones to balance out turkey's "countryside woman moves to the city falls in love with a nice guy who's actually the son of one of the main antagonists. he protects her from her abusive father who came back from the countryside to force her to stop studying and to get married against her will" type dramas.
- she tries to get him to dress more trendy. she fails
- maybe a wingman to turkuzbek??
#will add more eventually#aph south korea#hws south korea#im soo jin#aph turkey#hws turkey#sadik adnan#tokki writes#i remember someone tagging this as ship...dont pls 😭#tokki answers

My number one gripe with Europe was the lack of Tex-mex/Latin American food (and your peanut butter was whack)
wtf do you mean I can’t get a chicken and cheese quesadilla with guac and extra queso?? Chips and salsa??
Don’t even get me started on how my southern ass self couldn’t make cornbread because y’all don’t have cornmeal
Bestie you are so goddamn right. It’s truly a crime that we don’t have much Tex-mex/Latin American food here in Europe. You have no idea how often my mouth watered when I watched Kim Possible as a teenager and saw Ron and Kim eating at Taco Bells, always wondering how it tastes. I mean we have the spain cuisine, but it is of course not the same since it’s more seafood orientated.
But I have to remind you that we have like 50 (not sure about the exact amount) countries in Europe and so many different cultures and food here. We have authentic Greece and Italian food (no Olive Garden doesn’t count. I talked with my Italian friends about that xD) Turkish cuisine alone is one of the most diverse ones. You have meat, fish, vegetables and pastas (talking like the proud turkish girl here 😂)
Also omg did you ever tried Persian food? It’s so fucking delicious 🤤
#Peach you are making me hungry 🥲#I crave now persian falafel and my moms manti#I swear if you ever come to my country I am gonna feed you all the delicious things here#sunny answers ☀︎

nations who are good cooks
ok, i got a lot of ideas about this one too
romano: starting with the obvious. when he was living in america and working for alfred (seems like the interwar period?) he cooked for him along with being essentially a personal maid. and ofc its only natural that the representative of southern italy would be an amazing cook. in my human aus, i usually have romano either starting a restaurant or working as a chef, and in nation aus, i would imagine food is one of the areas he is never lazy in. if romano was at one point the representative of naples, than pizza would be a specialty of his (and he would have some STRONG feelings on all the different incarnations of pizza in america and arounf the world), along with pasta with seafood in it and dishes with salami. overall romano is def one of the best cooks out of all characters
antonio: ok, basically if spamano had kids their children would be blessed with amazing food no matter which parents cooking. antonio’s favorite part of cooking is watching others enjoy it. he loves having big dinners with his friends, like romano, ned, bel, francis, gilbert, and watching their reactions, seeing just how much they enjoy it. he’s kinda like when ur grandma coaxes u eat more even when ur full. and of course, olive oil is used heavily, perhaps even excessively, in all of his recipes. whenever romano asks him for a recipe for one of his dishes, antonio always refuses to give up the ‘secret ingredient,’ and everytime romano accurately guesses it’s (surprise!) olive oil
francis: i mean, he’s in the gastronomy or gastronomics or whatever they call it club in the hetalia academy episodes. and french cuisine is some of the most famous and delicious in the world. im not talking about the stupid little five-bite-and-ur-done french dishes they have at fancy restaurants, no, when francis cooks, it’s hearty, delicious, and filling. he’s especially skilled at making soups (even arthur cant deny that his french onion soup is absolutely amazing), quiches, and ratatouille, lots of so-called peasant dishes that will leave you full for hours and will make u feel warm and satisfied
sadik: yet another member of the gastronomy club in the hetalia academy episodes, sadik cooks very frequently in his free time (he’s another character who i often make a chef in my human aus). turkish cuisine, much like turkish culture, is influenced by a variety of different sources, like european, middle eastern, and asian, so i imagine that sadik is adept at cooking foods of different cultures around the world, and likes to incorporate flavors he considers ‘exotic’ into his dishes
yao: yao is shown to immediately want to care for people around him who are sick (such as immediately running to care for kiku when he has a cold) and i imagine him cooking for others is a big part of that natural instinct to care for those around him. now, im unfortunately only familiar with westernized chinese cuisine (which i hc that bc of yao’s appreciation of china towns and chinese diaspora around the world he would still enjoy westernized chinese food), so i cant really comment on specific authentic dishes, but think of warm soups and light snacks. those are his specialities. 
tolys: i imagine that in soviet times, ivan had tolys doing a million things at once, including being a personal assisstant/secretary, cleaning the house, and cooking. i dont think tolys would love cooking or consider it a hobby, rather something that needs to be done bc people need to eat, but after years of cooking for the other bloc nations, he’s grown pretty good at making a variety of eastern european dishes, like russian pelmeni, polish pierogi, lithuanian beet soup, or ukrainian borscht, whatever ingredients he could get his hands on and whatever he could do to make the other bloc nations feel at home
gilbert: i only include gilbert bc i feel like although he wouldn’t be an amazing cook, he would be adept at throwing together an edible meal from found ingredients and anything he can get his hands on. the mans been a warrior/soldier his whole life, armys are not generally famous for their cuisine, so i bet over the centuries he’s become good at improving meals with found ingredients. he could make a decent meal out of some shit he found in the wilderness. i also bet hes amazing at making one specific dish—not sure what it is yet, still have to pick one — but just one specific food he can make on special occasions and everyone is blown away that ‘wow! gilbert can cook?’
