Beyond Turmeric: 5 Indian Spices You Need in Your Pantry Now | One Green Planet (Reblog)
The best thing is that I love all of these spices and they can be easily be purchased via my online spice shop or probably at your local grocery store, depending on where you live.
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.
Peach Jalebi: Indian Funnel Cake [Vegan] - Made with Saffron and Cardamon
1 cups sugar; 1/2 cup water; 1/2 cup peach juice; 4-5 saffron strands; 1 teaspoon ground cardamom; A pinch of orange food coloring (optional) ...
Spicing It Up with Cumin: Health Benefits, Tips, and Recipes
Cumin, an oblong seed with ridges and a yellow-brown color, has been used since ancient times in Mediterranean and Asian cuisine. It originated in Egypt and belongs to the same family as caraway, parsley, and dill.
♦ ♦ ♦Why Ginger-fication of our Food Is a Good Thing
Ginger is a wonderful thing. It's highly medicinal, known to combat stomach ailments of all kinds and has anti-inflammatory properties said to rival any non-steroidal drug in its treatment of muscle and joint pain.

Food Blurb: Sharing a Soup Recipe That Soup Lovers Will Love
The classical music composer Ludwig van Beethoven once said “Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.”
Do you believe that soup is good food? I do! I also believe it's a food of love for families and having a pure heart when you make it for those you love, no doubt adds substantially to the flavor.
In a previous post I shared information about miso, which is a key ingredient in Japanese cuisine. You can it ready-made off the grocery store shelf or make your own.
Some say the reason the Japanese live so long is because miso is an integral part of their diet. Maybe. Maybe not. I also read that soup should be an important of one's daily diet. They say you should eat a bowl of soup every day. I'm OK with that dietary advice. Even though January is National Soup Month, I could eat soup every month of the year, whether the weather is hot or cold. And I don't mean cold soups, because I'm not really a fan of cold soup. But if I was given only one hot bowl of soup every day to survive off, I could totally do that and be content.
For me, the best part of any soup is … THE BROTH!
You could have all kinds of ingredients in a soup … meat or no meat. But if the broth is tasteless, the soup is useless. The broth is all about comfort. Don't you think so?
That's why I know this recipe which I am sharing is awesome! The ingredients for the broth are: “garlic, ginger, scallions, toasted sesame oil, miso and fermented chile paste”.
How could you not love this soup? LOL.

World Cuisine : French Cuisine - Appetizers : Eat Like Zee French!
Eat like zee French!! Better yet. Just eat the appetizers.
Have you been tasked with meal planning and preparation for the holidays?
My advice to you? Eat like they do in France.
A typical meal in France has 5 components or courses. The first course consists of appetizers (or aperitifs). For me, it's perfectly alright to make them my entire meal!! Examples of French cuisine appetizers include herbed cheese spread; Amiens pates (duck pate); fish soup; and a dish called pissaladiere. There are plenty more. The first two on the list are the most satisfying to my taste buds. But more than happy to taste and sample all the other entrées too! Learn more about this wonderful food that you would probably enjoy so much you would be perfectly fine with skipping the rest of the meal. :)
Michey LM, is a fellow freelance writer and information contained in an article she published inspired this “two cents”. She has chosen to however, to unpublish her content, but learning about delicious cuisine has me yearning (or craving) for everything French!!

Food Blurb: Traditional Meal on the Sabbath
I am always interested in learning about world cuisine. I especially like Jewish food or Israeli cuisine. In a social community where I am an active member, people love to share food-related posts. One of the members, Vasya007, shared a post about cholent or hamin (see below). I was inspired to look up some recipes and additional information..
“Cholent or hamin is a traditional Jewish stew. It is usually simmered overnight for 12 hours or more, and eaten for lunch on Shabbat. Cholent was developed over the centuries to conform with Jewish laws that prohibit cooking on the Sabbath.” (Wikipedia)

Which do you choose? Potatoes, Pasta, or Rice?
Rice is the King of Crops
You could say that rice is the king of crops. Here’s why. According to historical records and documents, rice cultivation began in China and spread across Asia. As empires expanded and foreigners came to know one another via exploratory travels, the crop made its way to Africa and parts of Europe. The Europeans brought rice to America. Nowadays rice is everywhere. It is a staple food and many populations survive because the people are given a bowl of rice a day. “Rice has fed more people over a longer period of time than any other crop.” (Quote Source)Bahamian Pigeon Peas and Rice
My family tree is Bahamian. I grew up eating pigeon peas and rice and always thought it was a uniquely Bahamian dish. But then my Puerto Rican friend told me they eat it a lot where she comes from too! The way they make it in Puerto Rico is slightly different but it’s still delicious. It is my all-time favorite rice recipe because it has ties to my heart.Rice and peas or peas and rice is a traditional food in Africa. Everybody knows that Africans were brought to the Caribbean, The Bahamas, and the United States, by way of the slave trade. It makes sense that the people simply adapted and modified recipes they remembered from home, to suit their new environment. In The Bahamas, pigeon pea is a crop that is harvested regularly. Peas n’ rice started out as a one-pot meal, a sort of survival food for the islanders and those who farmed the land. Starch, meat, and veggies were all in one pot. The meat included in the recipe was usually salt pork or bacon. (You can change the recipe and do vegetarian or vegan-style. It’s OK!)
Over time, the locals and travelers or visitors to the island country grew to love peas n’ rice and as of today, it has become a common side dish. It almost always makes an appearance at everyday meals served at home and it is expected to be served as one of the sides at any restaurant, much like how American expect their french fries.

Other Rice Recipes and Food History
Even though I am familiar with Bahamian pigeon peas n’ rice because that’s my roots, there are other rice dishes I like eating just as much. Chinese fried rice. Paella. Biryani. Persian rice. ALL YUM!No doubt each of these rice dishes have their own similar food history. Similar, that is to say, very likely started out as food for the commoners but tasted so good everybody wanted to eat some ~ the commoners and the aristocrats or rich folks.
Below are links to a collection of rice recipes that are sure to please, with a few historical tidbits mixed in to enhance the joy of eating.
Asian Rice Recipes
Chinese Fried Rice ~ You can do vegetarian-style or add small pieces of meat. The recipe actually came about as a way of using up leftover rice. The earliest historical records dates its origination to the Sui dynasty (589–618 CE).Chicken Biryani ~ There are vegetarian versions, but I like the chicken. There are very strong opinions that biryani should be the National Dish of India, even though “biryani” is derived from the Persian word “birian” which means “fried before cooking.” Many give credit to the Mughals for creating the biryani dish, but some say there were similar dishes being eaten in India long before the establishment of the Mughal Empire. So let’s just say they took a common recipe and made it their own once they took over!
European and Middle-Eastern Rice Recipes
Seafood Paella ~ Paella originated in Valencia, Eastern Spain. It is a fusion of 2 cultures: Arab Moors and the natives of Spain. As to its history? One story goes that this rice dish was created by cooks using leftovers to give to the king’s guests to take home from the banquets.Persian Rice ~ Also called Persian Wedding Rice or Iranian Jeweled Rice. It’s made with fruits and nuts. Iran which was once known as Persia, and was at one time an “ancient super power”; meaning the rulers conquered a lot of peoples who had different cultures. Iranian cuisine or Persian food has been influenced by many cultures. Hard to tell what originated from what resulted from the fusion or the blend. “Iran’s food has a rich and illustrious backstory that tells the tale of conquerors, explorers, and merchants all leaving their mark on Persian cuisine.” (Quote Source)
Which do you choose? Potatoes, Pasta, or Rice?

5 Exotic Spices From Around the World by Melisa Marzett (Guest Post)
SPICE Spotlight: Juniper Berries
1. Asafetida. This is an Asian spice made from the roots of certain species of Ferula. It is a gum-like spice with a very strong and unpleasant smell. Actually, the name of the spice has a Latin origin, which means “evil-smelling gum”. Asafetida is common in Indian vegetarian cuisine and is often the main ingredient in rice and bean dishes. Additionally, it has a wide range of medicinal properties and is beneficial for people with digestive disorders, high cholesterol, and/or nervous disorders. Asafetida is rich in minerals and nutrients, such as iron, calcium, phosphorus, and protein. Although most chefs and cooks rarely prepare a dish without onion and garlic, some people do not eat onion or garlic. Certain people are allergic to onions and for some people, garlic causes extreme heart burn. Asafetida is an ideal spice for those people. In fact, its smell is similar to both onion and garlic.
2. Dried Avocado Leaves. This spice (or herb) originated in Mexico. It is one of the most popular spices in Mexican cuisine. Avocado leaves have an aniseed fragrance; however, these dried leaves are odorless and have a pungent taste. Dried avocado leaves are added to bean or meat dishes. Regarding health benefits, they are useful for people who have kidney stones and hypertension. Noteworthy: Only certain varieties of avocado leaves are to be used in cooking or for medicinal purposes because some kinds of avocado leaves can contain toxic substances.

Avocado Leaves: A Secret Mexican Ingredient
Avocado Leaves: A Secret Mexican Ingredientby Victoria ChallancinLove at First Bite. Like any motivated foodie, I almost made myself sick sampling, musing, and guessing what unknown ingredient I was tasting in what appeared to be an ordinary black bean dip.
3. Epazote. This is another essential spice used in Mexican cuisine. Its extraordinary (or strange) scent can be described as a combination of kerosene, mint, and citrus. Epazote is made from the leaves of Mexican herb called dysphania ambrosioides (aka "Mexican tea"). It is used with bean and meat dishes. Additionally, it can be used in soups.
4. Grains of Paradise. This delicious spice is an integral part of West African cuisine. It is obtained from a flower called Aframomum melegueta. Africans believed that this flower grew in Eden. Grains of paradise look like seeds and have jasmine, citrus, and hazelnut odor. It can be added to meat, fish, and potato dishes.

Ingredients include over 30 different herbs and spices, such as:
Grains of Paradise, Lavender, turmeric, ajawan seeds, kalajeera, ginger, galangal, oris root, rose buds, monk's pepper, cinnamon and more!
5. Juniper Berries. Actually, juniper berries are more likely to be cones than berries. It has the smell of fir and is used for cooking meat dishes, especially stewed rabbit or beef. These “berries” grow on the juniper tree, are common throughout Europe, included in ancient Greek recipes, and have been found in the Egyptian pyramids. A wide range of German traditional dishes are cooked with juniper berries.

Inexpensive Meals: Lentils are Hearty, Healthy and a Small Bag Can Feed a Crowd
LEBANESE RECIPE: Mujaddara
I did not start eating lentils until I got married back in the 70s. It was never served in my mom's house. I learned how to cook them because my husband liked them. I usually seasoned them with smoked turkey and added diced carrots, onions, and celery. Learned that lentils are a common dish in the Middle East. They are legumes and they come in different colors: black, brown, red, and yellow. They can not be eaten RAW. Also, you don't have to soak them before cooking.
- Here is a recipe: Mujadara (Lentils and Rice with Caramelized Onions) -Cookie and Kate
“Mujadara is served across the Middle East in various forms and goes by differing names, depending on where you are. It has many spelling variations: mujadarra, mujadarah, majadra, mejadra, moujadara, mudardara, and megadarra.”
The good thing about lentils is that they are very inexpensive and one small bag (16 oz.) can make a big pot to feed a lot of people.

World Cuisine: Food History: Cuban Sandwich
That was news to me. Also learned something else new. Very familiar with the Sandwich Cubano (Cuban sandwich) and Media Noche Sandwich (Midnight Sandwich); but did you know there are several variations of this sandwich? No doubt they’re all delicious! There is a third one called Elena Ruz (Cuban Turkey Sandwich). It has guava jelly as one of the ingredients. If you’ve never tried Cuban food, you must try the Cuban Sandwich. Even the world-famous chef, Bobby Flay has his own variation.
Eating food is one of life’s greatest joys.
But learning food history is also great fun too!

I am a Christian but I have many Jewish friends who are celebrating Hanukkah. It is a holiday celebration that lasts for eight (8) days and it has been observed for more than 2000 years. The word Hanukkah means "dedication". But it is also known as the Festival of Lights.
If you would like to know more about the holiday, My Jewish Learning published an excellent article: The History of Hanukkah.

World Cuisine: Exotic Fruits: Ackee Fruit
Always happy to learn about exotic fruits from around the world. This post is about the ACKEE FRUIT. Even though it is a fruit, it is cooked as a vegetable. It is native to West Africa, but has been cultivated in Jamaica since 1778 when it was brought to the Caribbean by British slave traders. The Jamaicans liked it so much they made it the country's national fruit and their national dish is ackee with saltfish (or codfish).
WARNING: Do not eat this fruit in its unripened state as it is poisonous. However, once ripe, eat only the yellow arilli which is the edible portion. The black seeds are always toxic whether the fruit is ripe or unripened.
NOTE: If you are unable to buy it fresh, you can also buy canned ackee to use in your recipe. You can even find it freeze-dried.
* Ackee and Saltfish Recipe | Serious Eats
* Ackee And Saltfish Recipe #TastyTuesdays | CaribbeanPot
I was curious to know if there were any West African recipes with this fruit as a main ingredient, but discovered that even though the ackee fruit originates from there, in that part of the world, it is used mainly for medicinal purposes.
** West African Ackee Fruit • We Blog The World
“The ackee tree (Blighia sapida) is indigenous to the tropical forests of West Africa. Although it is not popularly eaten there, it is cultivated in the region for several nonfood uses: Immature fruits are used to make soap; the wood from the tree is termite resistant and used for building; extracts from the poisonous seeds are taken to treat parasites and are sometimes used as a fish poison; topical ointment made from crushed ackee leaves is applied to the skin to treat headaches and ulcers. And the Ackee leaves are also good as a fodder for goats.”
Since this food comes with a warning, you might want to know a little bit more. Below are some additional links of interest.
