This dish brings Carribbean ingredients—including salt cod and scotch bonnet paste—to classic fried rice.

It may be an unusual combo, but this warm salad of sweet melon, smoky cauliflower and charred okra is a delicious medley. Serve it with toast to soak up the extra sauce.—Ryan Barclay

Tangy pineapple and orange juice bring loads of flavour to this zesty fried rice.

As much as this is an everyday recipe, don’t let the ease of it fool you in terms of taste. The flavours are a delight, with a robust infusion of gingery curry leaves that soaks into the cauliflower and potatoes.

This creamy dal from the northwest of India is lightly spiced with cumin, turmeric and garlic, with the addition of fresh spinach.
