Everything in this deck

  1. Spicy Sichuan

    Numbing-hot, glossy red, dangerously more-ish.

  2. Caribbean

    Jerk smoke, scotch-bonnet fire, rice and peas beside.

  3. Thai

    Coconut, chili, basil and lime in perfect argument.

  4. Indonesian

    Nasi goreng under a fried egg, satay off the coals, sambal on the side.

  5. Mexican

    Tacos, salsas and lime — bright, loud, a little fiery.

  6. Fried chicken & wings

    Crunch, glaze, heat — with dip to put the fire out.

  7. West African

    Smoky jollof, grilled meats, plantain on the side.

  8. Korean table

    Grill smoke, gochujang heat, a banchan armada.

  9. Indian curry house

    Slow gravies, charred naan, a spice cloud that fills the room.

  10. Ethiopian & East African

    Injera piled with stews — eat with your hands, share it all.

  11. Hot pot

    A bubbling broth, a table of raw everything, cook as you talk.

  12. Shellfish boil

    Crab, prawns and corn dumped on paper — crack, peel, feast.
