Greetings and Welcome to Dom's Culture-Foods of Asia in-site A brief intro to my intro to culture-foods of Asia During July of 1982, one would have found me traveling through Java, Indonesia with a desire to experience traditional Tempeh prepared among the Nativity of its trad- environment. During these travels, many cherished experiences were realized through exposure to the culture-products produced by local Javanese Culture-food Masters. In fact it is in this spirit of learning through exploration, being the very essence of which I aim to reflect through this web page. The culture- products explained below, include traditional culture-foods of Indonesia, Japan, China and Korea, providing some basic information of such culture-products, including their preparation of. Some references to how some of the products are consumed is also discussed here. Enjoy! Tempeh Onchom Koji Amazake ... Out-of in-site out of mind Tempeh Tempeh [tem-pay] in the west, and Tempe Tempeh is a staple food in Indonesia, where it is traditionally prepared with soy beans or peanuts fermented with mold, Rhizopus oligosporus The cultured soybeans are bound together by a thick white mycelium of new mold-growth, to form a cake. Although in some western countries, a variety of legumes and cereal grains are sometimes used to prepare tempeh, soy bean is the common legume used in the preparation of tempeh.

Home Culture Guangdong Cuisine Guangdong cuisine is unique among the Chinese cuisines. Its raw materials, cooking methods, and flavorings all differ from the other cuisines. Guangdong is located in southern China. Bordered by the mountain ranges to the north and the South China Sea to the south, it has long been separated from the hinterland. In ancient times the Baiyue people lived there, but many immigrants from the hinterland moved in during the Qin and Han Dynasties. The dietetic culture of Guangdong has retained many eating habits and customs of the ancient people, such as eating snakes. In short, to the people of Guangdong, everything that walks, crawls, flies, or swims is edible. Many of these strange foods no longer appeal to today's refined tastes, and some have been eliminated out of respect for the eating habits of people in other areas, but some strange foods still remain. The most famous dish, Dragon and Tiger Fight, is a dish of braised snake and leopard. It has even been served as the main course at important banquets. Other famous dishes are dragon, tiger, and phoenix with chrysanthemum (snake, leopard, and chicken), braised phoenix liver and snake slices (chicken liver and snake), and stir-fried shredded snake meat in five colors.

Cooking with Hilde Today's Recipe: Fruitfly Party Delight By Hilde Wagner Got an amusing frog story? Send it in to: The Vivarium Page I'm so glad I took up frogging.... life's not boring anymore. Bit of background first: As you know, one main food for them is fruit flies (FFs) as I call them, makes typing easier. I gave up long ago on flightless wingless laboratory created flies that stay put in one place, because no matter what I try, I get wild ones coming in. I don't see why I should pay $6 for a small vial of maybe 50 flightless flies (oxymoron or what?) and have the wild flies of Borneo come swooping out of the hills to rape pillage and loot my poor pedestrian flies. Before long, I've got some flies that fly, some that can't and some that think they can and try, and some that don't know they can and insist on walking. So, in summer I harvest the wild ones here. Now, being natives, they should be hardy, but....... I bet somehow they know it's winter outside. Even though they get spoiled rotten here, and never try to see the snow and experience the cold. Maybe they're programmed to expect winter.... I don't know. But whatever it is, they multiply like crazy for a while. Since they're fliers, I keep them downstairs (well.. try for the most part, not many come up to live with us up here), with critters. Since they can fly, some escape the frogs and find their way to the culture containers, and lay more eggs. I've got swarms of them, until around Christmas - New Years. In around there, they slow down. Never to the point of worrying, I've always got tons for the existing frogs, but any day now, I expect to get the word that the permits have come through for those 50+ being shipped up. That means, I can't take a chance. It can take 10 to 28 days for the different ones to reproduce, I've got to keep the numbers up. :)

This "fusion cooking" can be laughable when it goes to excess, like pizza topped with duck and pineapple, or captivating when it succeeds, like French vichyssoise with a Mexican jalapeño kick. Still, fusion cooking has created a growing acceptance of new ingredients and unexpected flavor combinations. French Nouvelle Cuisine, which mixed Japanese ingredients with French cooking techniques, was hot during the 70s and 80s and is usually credited with starting this pan-ethnic culinary revolution. But for me, it began much earlier.

27. Foreign Influences In Modern Indian Cooking The Moghuls introduced a method of cooking that was unknown or meat into a large pot,mixed with spices has brought India some spices, but the cultures of that 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

HISTORY: POTJIE’S AND POTJIEKOS Pronounced "poi-key" (pot) and "poi-key-cos" (pot food). The potjie is the pot and the latter is the traditional way of cooking that dates as far back as the 1500's. The potjie pot however dates back to the iron age when man learned to cast iron into vessels of different shapes for a variety of purposes. The pots during this time also developed a lot of mystery and romance due to the fact that they were very popular amongst the witches and druids of the time, who used the pots for their respective rituals and ceremonies. The potjies also bring to mind cannibals and the name "missionary pots", which they are often called. It was during this era that the round belly three legged cooking pot developed and for all practical intents and purposes, became an ideal cooking pot that was designed to be used over an open fire. In the mid 1600's the potjie and the traditional way of cooking arrived in Africa, along with the early explorers, who used these cooking vessels exclusively, on their expeditions into the interior. It was during this period that the tribal Africans saw these pots and seeing the practical uses, traded these pots for animal hides and other commodities, replacing clay pots that were used for cooking. Among the African tribal cultures these pots became known as "Putu" pots (corn meal pots).

He constantly recreates and dishes tasted here and abroad or was taught at the Culinary Institute of America or closer to home, grandma's recipes. Consider Perico's. Named after "grandpa," the place is as Spanish-sounding as can be and reminds one of Italian Pecorin (sheep's milk) cheese.

Resources Cooking For Health Recipes Contribute ... Join Newsletter 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.

Cooking classes - four in all - were part of the itinerary of a week-long food tour of Victoria, Australia, early last month organised by Malaysian food writer Rohani Jelani who has set up her own company, Foodworks Services. A group of nine, mostly Malaysians, joined the tour. Australian cuisine wasn't the only focus; we learnt to cook Vietnamese and Italian! Brugman, a great Australian chef, conducted a "hands-on" cookery lesson with many willing volunteers, including a few individuals who'd never cooked. At Sartori's cake shop, our lunch comprised two cakes, two tarts and a salad to go! The two males in the group, Datuk Kok Wee Kiat and Peter Abdul Razak Bostock, each sportingly took turns to caramelise the sugar on the banana and coconut brulee tart using a blowtorch. Apparently, the blowtorch is quite a common tool for quick searing in commercial kitchens Down Under.

What's Cooking with Sheilah Kaufman Summer Dishes From Turkish Cuisine Turkey introduced coffee to Europe, gave the Dutch their famous tulips, and provides 70 percent of the world's hazelnuts. While researching A Taste of Turkish Cuisine , which I wrote with Nur Ilkin (wife of the former ambassador to Turkey), I found that Turkey also offers a rich and varied cuisine. The country is situated in both Europe and Asia, at the crossroads of the Far East and the Mediterranean, so Turkish cuisine has imbibed the influence of many cultures: Arab, Babylonian, Chinese, Hittite, Persian, and more. Neset Eren summed up Turkish cuisine best in his book, The Art of Turkish Cooking : "Many of the well-known national cuisines rely on one basic element. For instance, French cuisine is based on the sauce. Pasta forms the essence of the Italian cuisine. There is, however, no single dominant feature in the Turkish kitchen. Meats, fish, vegetables, pastries, and fruit are cooked in an infinite variety of ways." Chinese and Mongolian influences on Turkish cuisine include homemade noodles and manti (similar to tortellini). Many other cultures have also left their mark. Arab influences, especially in the south and southeastern parts of Anatolia (the Asian part of Turkey) included many spices, hot peppers in particular. The Persian, Hittite and Byzantine empires introduced vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower and parsley-all of Mediterranean origin. Turkish cuisine was also influenced by the Iranian use of fruits in meat and chicken stews. Kebabs, mainstays of Turkish cooking, are of Persian origin. Pilav (pilaf) is the Turkish version of pulau (Persian).

Tourism is, indeed, a pillar of the local economy. After the Handover, Macao's tourism industry continues to grow. Visitor arrivals topped 10 million in 2001 for the first time and further soared up to 11.5 million in 2002. Each visitor stays for 1.3 nights and spends MOP1,454 (USD186) in Macao in average. Unique East-meet-West cityscape, culture and customs, together with gaming and entertainments formed Macao's major attraction to its visitors. Gaming and Entertainment Macao has been nicknamed the Monte Carlo of the Orient since gaming has long been an important part of Macao's tourism, making up 50% of the tourism revenue. The SAR Government liberalized the gaming industry in 2001 and granted concessions to three gaming operators experienced in different modes of gaming and entertainment operations, pursuing the diversification of the industry, thus making it a truly delightful part of Macao's tourism experience.
