RIBA Radio: Dish of the Day

For each day of RIBA Radio, we included an extraordinary recipe submitted by you that was diverse in ingredients and inclusive in taste.

Below you will find the seven chosen dishes with the recipe and special story behind them so you can have a go. Let us know what you think using #RIBARadio.

Diversity is the ingredient and inclusion is the recipe.

Marie's Brown Stew Chicken by Maxine Mckenzie

A very traditional Jamaican dish usually eaten on Sunday. It is very special to me because it was passed down from my Jamaican dad to my English mum, who looks like Mary Berry but cooks like Levi Roots. She made this dish her own and passed it down to me.

Chuño Cola by Lemonot

We wanted to share with you a dish that uses its only ingredient to spread spatially in the land. It is as well a collective act that is preserved over time.

Mole Poblano by Kyle McCracken

This dish is a reminder of growing up in Mexico and enjoying it with family over there. It's chicken covered in a rich sauce made from chocolate, chillies, nuts and lots of other ingredients. It's a must-try if you're ever visiting Mexico.

Brazilian black bean 'Feijoada' by Beatriz Fernandes

Traditional Brazilian recipe using beans and rice. Don't forget to add these important ingredients that make this dish - bay leaf, white vinegar and cayenne pepper (if you like it spicy). I prefer it without the meat which is great as a vegetarian/vegan dish.
