Baked Sunday dinners

Roasted eggplants filled with a spiced chickpea-tomato ragù, finished with olives and preserved lemon for a savory, slightly briny centerpiece; warm turmeric couscous, cooling cucumber-yogurt tzatziki, and hot za'atar skillet flatbreads complete the table. The menu balances bold North African spices and Levantine accents while staying family-friendly and quick enough for a single cook to execute in a window under two hours.

Rustic Andalusian flavors centred on baked Huevos a la Flamenca — runny yolks in a smoky-tomato and chorizo cradle — with a room-temperature escalivada of roasted peppers and aubergine, fresh pan con tomate and a simple sherry vinaigrette salad; kid-friendly sparkling orange agua fresca and a Rioja Reserva for the adults round the meal.

A comforting Brazilian vegetarian escondidinho of creamy mashed mandioca crowned with a savory sautéed mushroom ragu, paired with fragrant white rice, toasty farofa, quick sautéed couve and a bright vinagrete—finished table-side with a caipirinha and a cooling limonada suíça. The menu balances homey textures and Bahia-inspired brightness so the whole family sits down together.

A quietly assertive Scandinavian weeknight supper centered on a golden Västerbotten potato tart — creamy, nutty cheese folded into thinly sliced potatoes on a crisp pastry — paired with mustardy new potatoes, bright quick-pickles, and a caramel-tinged lingonberry glaze. Simple, textural contrasts and pantry-forward Nordic flavors make this worth pausing the evening for.

A warm, family-friendly Italian supper centered on oven-baked melanzane rollatini—ricotta-filled eggplant rolls in a bright tomato ragù—supported by crisp crostini, garlicky broccolini and a simple mascarpone-and-berries dessert. Honest techniques, clearly staged oven and stovetop work, and a Chianti pairing make this dinner worth sitting down for.

A balanced, home-style Japanese weeknight-to-weekend menu centered on oven-glazed teriyaki salmon, accompanied by miso soup, freshly steamed short-grain rice and crisp cucumber sunomono — clean flavors, child-friendly seasoning, and one finish-to-order protein so every plate arrives bright and warm.
