Kitchen Index Irish Kitchen Library Irish Kitchen Shop Irish Christmas Pudding Contributed by Hartson Dowd Christmas pudding is traditionally made on "Stir-up Sunday" - the Sunday before Advent. By tradition, it's brought to the table on Christmas Day, flaming with lighted whiskey or brandy. With spirits so much under proof nowadays, it is a wise precaution to sprinkle some granulated sugar over the pudding after you have poured on a quarter cup of warmed spirits. This should keep the flame alight. In my grandmothers day, she used a good splash of poteen and we had a flame that would singe the rafters! Christmas Pudding is alarming in its proportions and in the inventory of ingredients. I always say it's a frightful trouble with all those hours of preparation and cooking. But you daren't set an Irishman down to his Christmas dinner without it. Unless you are married to an Irish husband, I would think twice before undertaking it. At the very least, you can't say I didn't warn you.

Traditional Portuguese recipes combine a blend of flavors and techniques of many other cultures dating back centuries. My book, Portuguese Homestyle Cooking, gives an overview of centuries old cultural influences on Portugal’s cuisine. It describes the ingredients common to Mediterranean countries and essential to Portuguese cuisine including olive oil, onions, bay leaves, garlic, fresh coriander, paprika, chili peppers and red sweet peppers. However, the way in which the ingredients are used together makes Portuguese fare unique. Some ingredients which were brought back during the days of the Discoveries show from where some dishes evolved. Thank you for visiting!

48. Foreign Influences In Modern Indian Cooking Its traditions are deep, as are its tolerance of foreign cultures. Actually, Indian cooking is too generic of a term and does not do justice to http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/alycem/writing_indiancooking.html

Influences in Modern Indian Cooking Alice L. Moy Indian Civilization Prof. M. Witzel January 20, 1998 Introduction Actually, "Indian cooking" is too generic of a term and does not do justice to India’s enormous diversity and variety. As much as the languages and traditions vary across the subcontinent, the cuisine varies even more. However, every bit of India’s diversity has had a hand in changing the cuisine and improving the cuisine. In order to study to foreign influence on Indian cuisine, there must be a base "pure" form of Indian cuisine that we can take. Some would say that the defining factor of Indian cuisine is its creative use of spices, others will claim that Hindu philosophy is the origin of modern Indian cooking. There is also the dilemma that each region has distinct cuisines of their own, which are different in and of themselves, therefore, it is difficult and unfair to see them all as one and analyze general influences on them as a whole. Because what we see as India is basically united by its people’s devotion to Hinduism for all these thousands of years, I will consider that the foundation of Indian cooking, though it must be kept in mind that Hinduism is practiced differently in each region. However, in the end, it is the Hindu philosophy of cooking and eating that the large majority of Indians follow even at the present-day. Types of Influences Religion’s Role in Shaping Modern Indian Food Hinduism Cultural Moghuls and the Muslims The Indian word for pilaf, pullao, comes from the Persian word for the same, "polo." This concept came to India via the Moghuls, who loved delicate rice dishes cooked with meats and vegetables. Though originally from Persia, pilafs and biriyanis were made into Indian fare through the Moghuls. Making pilafs was considered an art form, which many Muslim communities are still proficient in to this day. A 17

Chef Carl Behnke asked the voice on the other end if Heartland had any white balsamic vinaigrette in stock. "I use a lot of white balsamic vinaigrette and I’ve been buying out every grocery store around here," he said. Soon after, a student stopped in to apologize to the chef for spelling "homogenization" wrong on her quiz. It had been a common mistake. He still gave her credit but warned her to pay more attention on open book quizzes. Being a Purdue chef and instructor can keep a man busy. Between catering University events, Behnke instructs a number of classes, including HTM 291: "Quantity Food Production and Service," a course he said becomes a "high quality, high end operation."

Resources Cooking For Health Home Recipes ... Feedback Say "ginger" and what immediately comes to mind? Probably ginger tea and ginger chicken. Ginger can add a wonderful zing to all types of dishes, from salads to main dishes. Revered around the world for its pungent taste, ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a natural spice that is also widely prized for its medicinal properties. Since ancient times, traditional healers in a diverse array of cultures have used this plant primarily to help settle upset stomachs. Chinese herbalists have relied on ginger as a medicine and flavoring for more than 2,500 years. The early Greeks mixed it into breads (hence the first gingerbread), and North American colonists sipped nausea-quelling ginger beer, the precursor of modern ginger ale. Today, many cultures continue to rely on ginger for controlling nausea and also for reducing inflammation. A botanical relative of marjoram and turmeric, the ginger plant is indigenous to southeast Asia and is now also extensively cultivated in Jamaica and other tropical areas. It's the plant's aromatic rhizome (or underground stem) that's used for culinary and medicinal purposes. Ginger's long list of curative powers rival its infinite culinary uses. In ancient China, ginger was regarded as a healing gift from God and was commonly used to cleanse and warm the body. Ginger is a component in more than 50% of all traditional Chinese herbal remedies. Today, we are learning what the Chinese have known for 7000 years.

click for afghan recipes Afghan Food and Cookery The caves at Bamiyan, destroyed by the Taliban by Helen Saberi Editor's Note: This is the introduction to Ms. Saberi's fine book Afghan Food and Cookery. (click for review) Anxious to share her love for the country and the food, she has kindly let us reproduce her work. We are extremely grateful and very happy to have a guide to the nuanced food and cookery of Afghanistan. Please also read her personal story to learn more about the human heart of Afghanistan. (click here) Afghanistan is situated at the meeting place of four major cultural areas: the Middle East, Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent and the Far East. It is because of this geographical position that Afghanistan became the crossroads for many invading armies from different places each with their own culture. These marauding armies, often passing through Afghanistan, journeying further afield, realised the advantages of maintaining strongholds here and paused for a while. In the fourth century BC, Alexander the Great conquered Afghanistan on his way to India; in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries AD, Afghanistan was plundered by Genghis Khan and the Mongols en route to the Middle and Near East. Babur, founder of the Moghul Empire in India and a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, began his rise to power in Kabul and is buried in his favourite garden on a hill in Kabul, the Bagh-e-Babur Shah. The conqueror, Nader Shah Afshar invaded and conquered Afghanistan in the eighteenth century on his way to India recruiting Afghan fighters to serve with his troops. The British in India were twice invaders in the nineteenth century.

Add Dummies General Interest eTips to My Yahoo! My Yahoo! Home ... At Home Using Soy Foods in Vegetarian Cooking Using Soy Foods in Vegetarian Cooking Adapted From: Vegetarian Cooking For Dummies Some of the best vegetarian specialty foods are made from soybeans, a type of legume. Soybeans can be used whole (as in tempeh) or soaked (as in soymilk and tofu) or can be processed and used to make a variety of specialty foods, such as veggie burgers, soy hotdogs, and soy cold cuts. (For a delicious introduction to soymilk, try the Winter Berry Smoothie recipe at the end of this article!) Soy foods are associated with many health benefits. By adding soy foods to your diet, you may reduce your risk of breast, colon, and prostate cancer, and you may lower your blood cholesterol level. Soy foods can lessen your risk for coronary artery disease and osteoporosis and can help you control your blood sugar if you're diabetic. Whole soybeans are rich in protein, calcium, iron, zinc, B vitamins, and dietary fiber, but products made from soybeans vary in their nutrient content, depending on how much of the original soybean has been processed out. With the exception of such foods as soy sauce and tamari (which really are just salty condiments), foods made from soybeans are nutrient dense and contribute to the healthfulness of your meals. When you use soy foods in place of high-fat meats and dairy products, you substantially lower your intake of artery-clogging saturated fat and cholesterol. Doing so not only helps you minimize your intake of what you

Diversity Values You've just walked off the plane at Manila International Airport and the smiling guys in the picture above greet you with bright faces, songs and upbeat kundiman guitar music. You're in the Philippines, where Asia wears a smile! Out the door, you catch a Jeepney - that ubiquitous, bright and funny vehicle that emerged from WWII scraps with a look that could only happen here in the Philippines. No other corner of Asia is quite so diverse, quite so expressive and quite so welcoming. Huge brassy shopping malls squat cheek to cheek with open markets; the roar of your Jeepney competes with the ever-present crow of the roosters; the sleek new elevated train across Manila flies over housing more diverse than you can imagine. Everywhere you go you are greeted with smiles and lifted eyebrows. English swirls around your head with Tagalog and multiple other sibilant dialects. The air smells vaguely of hot rice cooked over charcoal. The heat and humidity accentuate the smell of flowers. Tropical takes on new meaning. You've come a long way but the people you meet are so gracious and engaging that you think, "Maybe, I've just come home."

Puerto Rican Cuisine: A Fusion Of Cultures And Continents On The Worldwide Gourm Although Puerto Rican cooking is somewhat similar to both Spanish and LatinAmerican cuisine, Because food is an intrinsic part of Puerto Rican culture, http://www.theworldwidegourmet.com/countries/westindies/puertorico.htm

Michele Serre, Editor Thanks to Puerto Rico Tourism Company for their kind assistance Travel Puerto Rican Cuisine: A fusion of cultures and continents Rich History Enhances Flavor of Island's Culinary Delights A fusion of European, Afro-Caribbean and Latin American cultures has produced one of the most palate-tempting cuisines throughout the western hemisphere. Although Puerto Rican cooking is somewhat similar to both Spanish and Latin American cuisine, it has a unique style, using such indigenous seasonings and ingredients such as coriander, papaya, cacao, nispero, apio, plantains, cassava and yampee. Cocina Criolla (Créole cooking) can be traced back to the Arawaks and Taínos, the original inhabitants of the island, who thrived on a diet of corn, tropical fruit and seafood. With the arrival of the Spanish in 1493, other ingredients such as beef, pork, rice, wheat and olive oil were incorporated into the native diet. The Spanish soon began planting sugar cane and importing slaves from Africa, who brought with them okra and taro, known in Puerto Rico as yautia. The mingling of flavors and ingredients passed from generation to generation among the different groups that passed through and settled on the island, resulting in the exotic blend of today's Puerto Rican cuisine. Homestyle Cooking The aroma that wafts from kitchens throughout Puerto Rico comes from adobo and sofrito - blends of herbs and spices that give many of the native foods their distinctive taste and color. Adobo, made by crushing together peppercorns, oregano, garlic, salt, olive oil and lime juice or vinegar, is rubbed into meats before they are roasted. Sofrito, a potpourri of onions, garlic and peppers browned in either olive oil or lard and colored with achiote (annatto seeds), imparts the bright yellow color to the island's rice, soups and stews.
