Lena's Culinary Delights: Making Broth from Black Chicken (Reblog)

So happy to reshare the link to this content from a fellow foodie and blogger.  Lena and I have been online friends for so long, I stopped counting the years. In this blog post, she said she discovered black chicken (aka silkie chicken) at a local Chinese supermarket and bought one to make broth for her mother’s friend. There's no way the friend could not be impressed. LOL. 😊

Lena's Culinary Delights:

Making Broth from Black Chicken

**

My First Food Experience With Black Chicken

I have been active in many global online communities and forums for over a decade.  So I can't remember exactly when I first learned about black chicken. But when I knew there was a chicken that was black all over, it was like … WHAT??? … MIND BLOWN!! What else don't I know about Planet Earth??

Black Chicken (Silkie Chicken) Has a Fascinating Food History

Silkies trace back over 1,000 years to ancient China, where they were prized by royalty and wealthy families. (But of course! Everything traces back to China or Egypt. LOL.) Chinese records mention them as early as the 8th century, during the Tang Dynasty. They were deeply embedded in traditional Chinese medicine, valued for restorative properties and used in remedies such as “Black Chicken Pills” during the Ming Dynasty. Their meat, skin, and bones appear in the Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China as medicinal materials.

In Chinese cuisine, they’re known as wu gu ji (“dark boned chicken”). Common dishes include:

• Black chicken herbal soup

• Steamed Silkie with medicinal herbs

• Confinement foods for postpartum recovery

Admit it! That's fascinating! But wait! There's more!

**

Somehow, black chicken made it to the West.

The black chicken made its way to Westerners. Who do we thank? MarcoPolo. He wrote about a “furry chicken” after his travels to the Far East during the 13th century. By the 16th–17th centuries, Silkies arrived in Europe via the SilkRoad and maritime trade. (Would civilization have survived without the Silk Road?) 

Early European sellers even claimed they were hybrids of rabbits and chickens to attract buyers. (As if a black chicken wouldn't get your attention? Why didn't they do like they do in grocery stores? Cook it and hand out samples to taste!)

WHY ARE BLACK CHICKENS BLACK?

(I know you're curious, and so was I!)

Silkies have fibromelanosis, a rare genetic mutation causing black skin, bones, and organs. Their feathers look like fur because they lack barbicels, the tiny hooks that normally hold feather strands together.

Jam Heart Cookies for Valentine’s Day 💖 (Reblog) ~ Fun Recipe for Cooking with Kids

Every once in a while, I stumble across a recipe that’s so charming it deserves a little spotlight of its own. These jam heart cookies are exactly that — sweet, simple, and perfect for Valentine’s Day baking.

• Image created using free AI art tool

This recipe comes from Haley at If You Give a Blonde a Kitchen, a blog I discovered accidentally, while browsing for fun foodie recipes.  It looks like you can find a lot of well-tested baking recipes on this site. Haley's jam heart cookies are a buttery shortbread-style cookie, shaped into hearts and filled with bright raspberry jam. They’re festive without being fussy, and the ingredient list is refreshingly simple.

Newbie cooks or bakers will especially appreciate how clearly this recipe is explained. Haley walks through shaping the dough, filling the cookies cleanly, and baking them so they hold their shape and stay tender. These are the kind of homemade cookies that look impressive on a plate but are totally doable for home bakers.

A little cookie history.  DID YOU KNOW?

Jam-filled cookies like these are cousins of traditional thumbprint cookies, which have roots in Scandinavian baking (you might know them as hallongrotta, or “raspberry caves”). Over time, bakers have adapted the shape and flavors, and turned them into hearts, which feels like a natural evolution for Valentine’s Day.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful homemade treat, a baking project to share with kids, or just an excuse to work jam into dessert (always a good idea), bookmark this.

Happy baking — and happy Valentine’s season?💖

Old-Fashioned Fruitcake Recipes | Vintage Recipes and Cookery (Reblog)

I have a fond memory of fruitcake. It dates back over 40+ years, and it was the time when my husband-to-be took me to his childhood home in The Bahamas to meet his parents. It was the Christmas holiday season.  His mother offered me a piece of fruitcake. I did not want to offend her, but I really was not a fan of fruitcake. She served me a slice with a cup of coffee. I don't know where my mother-in-law got her fruitcake, but to my surprise ... it was delicious!! That is a sweet memory, and that's why I was happy to reblog this post. It evoked that memory and took me on a sentimental journey.

Most commercially-made fruitcakes are alcohol-free, but traditionally, fruitcakes usually contained alcohol; both for the flavor and to preserve the cakes for months. In the 1800s, wood burning stoves didn’t have temperature gauges, and oven temperatures varied based on the type and size wood used. You were supposed to learn how to determine the heat through experience. Some recipes ignored the oven temperature and others used terms such as a slow, moderate, or quick oven. ...

Old-Fashioned Fruitcake Recipes 

| Vintage Recipes and Cookery from the 1800s

* * *

Did you know that food historians say fruitcakes were common in ancient Rome "when pomegranate seeds, pine nuts and barley mash were mixed together to form a ring-shaped dessert"? (Source)

Interesting facts about the history of fruitcake 🍰:

1. It dates back to ancient Rome
   Early versions of fruitcake were made by Romans using barley mash, honey, wine, and dried fruits like pomegranate seeds and raisins. It was more like an energy bar than a dessert.  (Pomegranate???  I've never had a fruitcake with this fruit.)

2. Fruitcake was once a practical survival food
   Because dried fruit, nuts, and alcohol preserve well, fruitcake could last for months. This made it popular for soldiers, sailors, and travelers in the Middle Ages.

3. It was banned at one point
   In the 18th century, fruitcake was banned in some European countries.  It was considered “sinfully rich” because it used too much butter, sugar, and alcohol during times of scarcity.  (That sounds reasonable.)

4. Alcohol helped it age, not spoil
   Traditional fruitcakes are often soaked in rum, brandy, or whiskey. The alcohol acts as a preservative, allowing some fruitcakes to be aged for years, sometimes decades.

5. It became a Christmas tradition in Europe during the Victorian Era (19th Century)
   Fruitcake evolved into a holiday food in Britain and Germany, eventually spreading to other countries. Each region developed its own version, like German stollen or Italian panettone.

6. The U.S. has extremely old fruitcakes
   Some American fruitcakes, especially from famous bakeries, have been kept for over 100 years as curiosities. One well-known fruitcake from 1878 is preserved in Michigan: the Ford Family Fruitcake: A 141-year-old (as of 2019).  The actual oldest known type of fruitcake is a ~3,500-year-old funerary offering from ancient Egypt, made with dates, honey, and nuts, found in the Tomb of Hatnefer and Ramose. Thebes, Egypt, 1492–1473 BC. 

Fruitcake by Country?  Here’s how different countries make fruitcake differently 🌍🍰:

1. United Kingdom 
   British fruitcake is very dense and dark, packed with raisins, currants, and candied peel. It’s usually soaked in brandy or rum and often covered with marzipan and icing for weddings and Christmas.

2. Germany 
   Germany’s version is Stollen, a lighter yeast bread rather than a cake. It contains dried fruits, nuts, spices, and sometimes marzipan in the center, and is heavily dusted with powdered sugar.

3. Italy 
   Italians make Panettone, which is tall, fluffy, and airy. It’s more like a sweet bread with candied citrus and raisins, and much less dense than traditional fruitcake.

4. United States 
   American fruitcake is often very sweet and rich, loaded with candied fruits and nuts. It’s usually baked in loaf form and sometimes soaked in bourbon or rum, especially in the South.

5. Caribbean 🌴
   Caribbean fruitcake (also called black cake) uses fruits soaked for months in rum and wine. The cake is very dark, moist, and intensely flavored, and is popular at Christmas and weddings.

6. Japan 
   Japanese fruitcake is light and sponge-like, often layered with fresh fruit and whipped cream. It’s much less sweet and focuses on freshness rather than long-term preservation.

Six (6) Benefits of Air Fryers Plus Air Fryer Bacon and Other Recipes (Reblog)

Everybody knows by now that air fryers have revolutionized home cooking. 

This nifty kitchen appliance offers a healthier alternative to traditional deep frying methods by using hot air circulation to cook food. Since the air fryer requires a fraction of the oil or sometimes none at all, that also means lower fat intake and fewer calories. The textures of the foods are still crispy, just like when food is deep-fried. Everybody also knows how expensive cooking oil is these days. At my local grocery store, a small bottle of canola oil that used to cost 98 cents sells for almost $2 these days.

Image credit

A healthier cooking option is not the only advantage or benefit of using an air fryer. There are several

1. Air fryers cook food faster and are more energy-efficient.

2. Air fryers cook a wide variety of foods. Not just traditionally fried items like French fries, chicken wings, but also baked goods. The appliances usually come with accessories like baking pans and racks, etc.

3. Air fryers are not only easy to use but also easy to clean because of the non-stick coatings on the cooking basket and accessories. Many parts are dishwasher-safe.

4. Air fryers are super safe! No worries about hazards, such as hot oil splattering and the risk of burns from handling hot oil.

5. Air fryers have precise temperature control and even heat distribution. Great for when cooking foods that don't need to be constantly monitored, and the results are often consistent.

Two things are on my gift wish list for the holiday season. One is a rice cooker, and the other is an air fryer. 

(NOTE: I'll talk rice cookers in another blog post.)

In conclusion, air fryers offer numerous benefits that appeal to health-conscious individuals, busy families, and anyone looking to simplify their cooking routine.

Reblogging link from a fellow foodie who publishes wonderful recipes via their food blog "Tasteful Tale Recipes".  These recipes are specifically for food cooked using an air fryer.  (For more air fryers recipes from this blog click here.)

Food Blog Spotlight : A Fall Neapolitan Style Dinner | jovinacooksitalian (Reblog)

Have you ever found a food blogger or food blog that is undeniably magnificent? Several years back, I came across this woman's blog and am so happy to find that it is still being published. Her posts not only have great recipes but great food history, too!  jovinacooksitalian


This one that is being shared as a reblog is perfect because it's for the fall season and it's about Italy, one of those places on my bucket list of "Places to Visit".  Will likely never realize that dream, but dreaming about it is a wonderful thing.

Dream Italian?  Think Italian.  Be Italian!

The post begins by giving the reader a quick history of Neopolitan cuisine.  Neopolitan is a cuisine?  Only ever knew it to be a flavor for ice cream!  In 3 short paragraphs, she took me from ancient Greece and Rome to modern-day Italy and the United States.  Then she set forth an entire Neopolitan dinner, recipes and all, from the first course to the dessert.  Of course, I skipped the courses and went straight to the dessert.  But that's just me!  :)


This blog post is dated 2013.  Liked it then.  Like it now!  The image from her post is an Italian Apple cake.  Isn't it gorgeous?!!

Tips and Tricks to Use Turmeric in the Kitchen

Turmeric is potent stuff, and it has made a recent bang on the "Let food by thy medicine" scene. It's no wonder really, as the bright orange spice has serious anti-inflammatory properties that have garnered it attention as a natural preventative and/or treatment for things like arthritis, assorted cancers and Alzheimer's, to name but a few.

A Cultural History Of The Kebab (Reblog)

Awesome article found at a site where I was not even looking for food-related content. Had to share. I'll give you a quick summary below, but by all means please read the article in its entirety.

Article Link: A Cultural History Of The Kebab

QUICK ARTICLE SUMMARY:

• A kebab has its roots in Middle Eastern cuisine.
• The word “kebab” reached the English-speaking world in the 17th century from the Arabic kabāb, in part via Hindustani, Persian and Turkish.
• FYI. “Kebab is normally cooked on a skewer over a fire, but some kebab dishes are made in a pan, in the oven, or even as a stew...”
• FOR THE VEGANS. No worries. There is a “Vebab”, a vegan kebab.
• Gyros Or Kebab? A Lively Debate ~ Middle Eastern food OR Greek by way of Turkey
• Where Did Döner Kebap Come From? 

FINAL QUESTION:  Which Is It, Kebab Or Kebap?

• In Arabic-speaking countries, it's “kebab”.
• In Turkey, it’s “kebap.”

ALL AROUND THE WORLD?? It's just plain old good food! ☺

It's another #FoodieFriday. Even though it's late in the day, this post will be published before midnight. If not, I might turn into fig! (Just kidding!) 

For this #FoodieFriday, the keyword is "fig".  (It was going to be "gumbo' but ... found this post about fig and went off in a completely different direction! :)  )  Before getting started, let me share this healthy tip.

TIP:  Need a pre-workout snack? Try figs! They are filled with calcium, magnesium and potassium.  (Source)

OK!  My first fig share is an awesome post found in a Google Plus Blogging community.  The G+ network was shut down do I'm glad I saved the link.

Raw Coconut Fig Slice (http://itislovelyfood.blogspot.ca)

I don't know if the fig was really the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. As far as I'm concerned it's a fruit that was heaven sent!

Here is a little bit about the fig. It's an excerpt from my article published at Wizzley.com. 

FIG TREES Genus Ficus The fig plant can be either a low-lying shrub or a tall tree.  They grow wild; or domesticated in the Mediterranean region and in California.  In Israel, the fig trees usually sprout buds in late spring; by the month of June (early summer) the tree is full of leaves; and in just a few more weeks, the figs are ready for picking. ... You can learn more about the ficus plant at PlanetFig.com

An additional fact.  In the Bible, the fig has two symbolic meanings.  Hope (if the fig tree fruitful): Desolation (if the fig tree is barren).



Here are more shares.  Enjoy!

The humble Fig.

The Fig...You can get it dried almost anywhere in the world and fresh and luscious from September through to autumn. There is nought like the taste of a fresh fig and dried they are different but sweet, with a chewy flesh and crunchy edible seeds.The fig tree has no blossoms on their branches ...The blossoms are inside the fig.

Food Blog Spotlight: Honey Chai Cake Recipe | Arabic Food (Reblog)

Are you curious about global flavors?  You have wanderlust but can't wander too far because your travel budget is extremely limited?  Describing myself, of course.  My travel adventures are accomplished mainly through the Internet and television.  Was watching a TV cooking show and the host asked one of his guests who was a world traveler, which part of the world had the "best food" (in his opinion).  He said he enjoyed food prepared in the Middle East.  

Image credit:  Arabic Food I, photo by Victor Maia, found at Flickr.com



Connecting the dots.  

Several months back, began using the Google+ collections feature to maintain a collection of posts and links related to World Cuisine.  In the process, stumbled across the Arabic Food Recipes blog.  My husband and kids are turned on to chai tea. Even though I am a coffee fiend, having been encouraged by them to try a cup, it's very easy to understand why they are chai tea lovers.  At the aforementioned food blog found a cake recipe and thought to myself:

• 'Chai tea is delicious. Why not chai cake?'  

(See link shared below.)

Here is another thing to note about this blog.  When many of us are enjoying the holiday season, we say "Happy Holidays" to others.  Why?  It's not to be anti-Christmas.  America is a diverse nation.  Some folks do not celebrate Christmas.  But they do celebrate a holiday!  This blog has holiday recipes for Christmas, EID, and Ramadan.  Cool huh?

Foodie Friday : Falafel - Traditional Recipe for Chickpea Falafel (Reblog)

** Food trivia:  "Falafel was originally made with fava beans and continues to be made that way in Egypt and other Arab countries, but Israeli falafel is made from chickpeas."  


Personally, I am sort of glad the recipe was modified.  Ever since the character Hannibal Lecter - played by Sir Anthony Hopkins - made that comment about fava beans in the movie "Silence of The Lambs", the beans just don't look the same on my plate.

Falafel - Traditional Recipe for Chickpea Falafel

Falafel is a traditionally Arab food. The word falafel may descend from the Arabic word falāfil, a plural of the word filfil, meaning "pepper." These fried vegetarian fritters are often served along with hummus, and tahini sauce (known as a "falafel plate.") They're also great served with toum, a Middle Eastern garlic sauce.
