This mango upside-down cake recipe is stunningly simple to make and perfect for when mangoes are in season. It's also relatively healthy as far as cakes go, and not overly sweet. The cake is dense and perfect with tea or coffee. I use Alfonso mangoes, but any variety will do.

- 2 ripes mangoes , peeled and thinly sliced
- 0.67 cups white sugar
- 2 large eggs , lightly beaten
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups sunflower seed oil
- 1.33 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the dish for 15 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate; carefully peel off parchment paper. Cool completely before slicing.

Lamb Börek
For this lamb börek recipe, if you get your hands on the right ingredients — including about 12 good sheets of phyllo pastry — you'll find this savory pastry way easier to make than it appears. It's all thanks to an intentionally soggy dough. That's right! Lightly moisturizing phyllo with an egg, yogurt, and butter wash produces flexible, flavorful, and externally crisp layers upon baking.
Ponche de Crème (Trinidad's Eggnog)
Ponche de crème is a cream punch that's similar to eggnog. It's Trinidad's traditional Christmas drink and has quite a kick if you use just the right amount of rum.
Chef John's Kofta Kebabs
These grilled kofta kebab skewers made with a mix of ground beef and lamb are full of flavor, and one of my all-time favorite things to grill. They are basically a Mediterranean-style meatball on a stick. I know "shish" gets more love, but "kofta" might be the best kebab. Serve over a tomato, onion, and cucumber salad with flatbread or pita and a lemony tahini dressing.
