The next dish my wife introduced me to in very creative way. A few years ago, my wife told me that whomever had a birthday in her family could choose what will be the family meal that day, she always requested her grandmother to prepare goulash with dumplings - the traditional Eastern European dish of beef goulash and dumplings and peppers. Very spicy eastern European dish , both delicious and nutritious. The story is told in sorrow because her grandmother died and with her the recipe stayed. So I vividly researched the network until I found a recipe database covering the Hungarian culture to the original recipe site - and thanks to Google for translation. I made some changes to it (they used pork) prepared surprise for her - and to her surprise the recipe was almost entirely accurate!
