Look what Google just recommended to me!!!!
I already own (and love) Shabbat and Portico.
But I am OBSESSED with the rest and must acquire them immediately.
Top of my list is Love Japan because LOOK AT THIS BEAUITFUL BOWL OF MATZO BALL RAMEN!!!!!
We hear a lot about Jewish people in Europe and MENA, but we do not hear a lot about Jewish culture as it blends with East Asian cultures, and that’s a shame. Not just because it erases the centuries of Jewish populations there, but also because there are plenty of people of mixed decent. People who may not have come directly from Jewish communities in East Asia, but people who have a Japanese Father and a Jewish Mother, for example. Or people in intercultural marriages. These are all real and valuable members of the Jewish community, and we should be celebrating them more. This cookbook focuses on Jewish Japanese American cuisine and I am delighted to learn more as soon as possible. The people who wrote this book run the restaurant Shalom Japan, which is the most adorable name I’ve ever heard. Everything about this book excites and delights me.
And of course, after that, I’m most interested in “Kugels and Collards” (as if you had any doubts about that after the #kugel discourse, if you were following me then).
This is actually written in conjunction with an organization of the same name devoted to preserving the food and culture of Jews in South Carolina!
I’m especially excited to read this one, because I have recently acquired the book Kosher Soul by the fantastic, inimitable Michael J. Twitty, which famously explores faith and food in African American Jewish culture. I’m excited to see how Jewish soul food and traditions in South Carolina specifically compare and contrast with Twitty’s writings.
I’m also excited for all the other books on this list!
A while ago, someone inboxed me privately to ask what I recommended for people to read in order to learn more about Jewish culture. I wrote out a long list of historical resources attempting to cover all the intricate details and historic pressure points that molded Jewish culture into what it is today. After a while I wrote back a second message that was much shorter. I said:
Actually, no. Scratch everything I just said. Read that other stuff if you want to know Jewish history.
But if you want to know Jewish culture? Cookbooks.
Read every Jewish cookbook you can find.
Even if you don’t cook, Jewish cookbooks contain our culture in a tangible form. They often explain not only the physical processes by which we make our meals, but also the culture and conditions that give rise to them. The food is often linked to specific times and places and events in diaspora. Or they explain the biblical root or the meaning behind the holidays associated with a given food.
I cannot speak for all Jews. No one can. But in my personal observation and experience—outside of actual religious tradition—food has often been the primary means of passing Jewish culture and history from generation to generation.
It is a way to commune with our ancestors. I made a recipe for chicken soup or stuffed cabbage and I know that my great grandmother and her own mother in their little Hungarian shtetl. I’ll never know the relatives of theirs who died in the Holocaust and I’ll never meet the cousins I should have had if they were allowed to live. But I can make the same food and know that their mother also made it for them. I have dishes I make that connect me to my lost ancestors in France and Mongolia and Russia and Latvia and Lithuania and, yes, Israel—where my relatives have lived continuously since the Roman occupation even after the expulsions. (They were Levites and Cohens and caretakers of synagogues and tradition and we have a pretty detailed family tree of their presence going back quite a long time. No idea how they managed to stay/hide for so long. That info is lost to history.)
I think there’s a strong tendency—aided by modern recipe bloggers—to view anything besides the actual recipe and procedures as fluff. There is an urge for many people to press “jump to recipe” and just start cooking. And I get that. We are all busy and when we want to make dinner we just want to make dinner.
But if your goal isn’t just to make dinner. If your goal is to actually develop an understanding of and empathy for Jewish people and our culture, then that’s my advice:
Read cookbooks.

worst thing about living near washington DC is that a certain horrible past president will use your towns and important historical sites as a backdrop just like an influencer uses national parks. Also your neighbors can literally be on the fucking Supreme Court or congress. Also traffic
#wrenfea.exe#I used to have to drive by the NRA headquarters on my way to work. id flip them off each time#dude literally used arlington cemetery as a photoshoot spot when thats literally illegal. you cant do any political activity there.#he had his goons harass a staff member who tried to stop them#he also took over a huge shopping center the next town over thats known for being a hub for east asian cuisine#lots of small marketplaces and shops and one huuge asian grocery store#like traffic there isnt bad enough#the good thing about living near dc is the metro i love public transport even if it sucks for wheelchair users

I usually order from this one generic "pan-East Asian late night takeaway" restaurant because they provide the option to select shellfish allergy and control so well for cross-contamination that I've never had an allergic reaction. However the website presents the option as "Shellfish ALLERGY" which makes me read it like "Donatella VERSACE 💜" every single time. Shellfish ALLERGY 💜
#The curse of loving East Asian cuisines and being crazy allergic to shrimp#Once I had to go to the hospital because my fried rice was fried in the same wok as a previous order#Which was fried with shrimp

i need people to understand something being flavorful does not equate to it being spicy. you can spicy food that is otherwise very bland. you cannot use chili peppers to cover up a lack of balance or depth in a dish. a fuck ton of chili peppers will not disguise the fact you didn't use enough salt.
#ppl are still yelling at me about japanese food being bland 'compared to other east asian cuisines'#im sorry but no. wrong#the flavor profile is extremely similar to many korean and chinese dishes#you all just think everyone except japan is spicy food only#which is a really weird thing to believe#like seriously. eat chinese steamed fish. japchae.#for fucks sake even japan has spicy ramen get real#what i will say is indian food is way more flavorful lol but thats NOT EAST ASIAN#south asian food is another level. still trying to figure out the intricacies and nuances#it takes time. but#you guys cant even tell what is good spicy chinese food or not

Carinderia The term "carinderia" is believed to have originated from the Tagalog word "kari", borrowed from the Indian word "curry". The dish was adopted by Filipinos either from trades, regions or from Indian immigrants, and thus "karihan" or "kariyan" was used to describe a place where food, particularly the Filipino dish "kare-kare," was served. By observation, the hispanicization to some Tagalog words, where most store names in Spanish are formed from the name of the main product they sell and putting the ending '-ería' (e.g. panadería, frutería, perfumería). As a result, the word "carinderia / karinderya" was coined and used up to the present day. The month of April has a lot to celebrate and raise awareness such as Earth Month, Filipino Literature Month, and Filipino Food Month, reminding us to savor our culture and be mindful of nature.

it really did take a fae court romance series written by an Indian woman to have all the mentioned cuisine be Indian foods for me to realize ive never actually read a fantasy setting with the kinds of food i eat and never questioned it
like why is it that the furthest ive ever strayed from ye olde white fantasy foods is that one time i let a player in a d&d game invent pizza in the feywild. why is that. literally i dont even represent the foods i eat in the settings i create
#like its all food im familiar with obviously bc im white so i know About Ye Olde White Cuisine#but i dont. eat much of it.#i dont like potatoes much and i dont like beef or pork much#or sandwiches#and i cant eat bread#and i dont really care for mediterranean flavorings#and i avoid mushrooms and cant eat eggs#so i just#largely dont eat anything you find in your standard white fantasy setting#i eat a lot of east and south asian foods tbh#so i got absurdly excited to realize a feast scene was talking about curry#and to recognize samosas even if i didnt remember the name#idk why i never questioned it like#it was just another layer of fantasy to me i guess#also to put a clearer disclaimer on this post#I Am White#my tastes just line up really well with a lot of asian flavor profiles#being nonspecific bc it really isnt specific i take a lot of inspiration from japanese indian and thai foods but i dont exactly limit myself#yelling at the void

today at lunch we each were ranking our personal five different foreign cuisines (east asian, indian, mexican, italian, and usamerican), my dad ranked italian the lowest and my sister and i both said in unison: ITALIAN????? in the most shocked and lamenting voice ever. how dare he.
#the worst thing is. he cooks pasta every week#like ?????#anyways my ranking was 1.east asian 2.italian 3.usamerican 4.mexican 5.indian#i have some asteriscs about them tho#i've barely eaten indian food (i think i've been to an indian restaurant or have indian food delivered home 3 times in total)#so that's why it's the last. i just don't have a very big sample#and i wasn't gonna put usamerican food that high cause i'm very indifferent towards hotdogs and burgers#but ribs. yeah that third position is solely because of the ribs#i have no excuse for the mexican one sorry i'm just not really into it.#if i had to pick one latin american cuisine it has to be argentina#i would kill for an empanada

This idiot had never heard of banana ketchup. Or the humble tamarind
the first person to turn an apple to sauce... what hubris. no other fruit gets this treatment. well, except for the wretched tomato. but that's a punishment, because the tomato is morally corrupt.

Good Thief x Main Street x Riley Park–Little Mountain.
As Anh and Chi's so-called "Rebellious Vietnamese" sibling next door, the mischievous Good Thief seems to live up to its sister restaurant's rather impressive usual standard of culinary heritage and fusion of authentic flavours.
Athiama Acres' organic beets with blood orange, rice patty herb vinaigrette, and chili salt.
"Old Secret": Michter's toasted sesame oil rye whiskey, barrel-aged amaro, bitter berry glucose, chili fish sauce, and house bitters.
"Lặp đi Lặp Lại": fino sherry, Italian dry vermouth, shiso mountain honey liqueur, mango cordial, wasted citrus shrub, and sparkling sake.
Halibut with dill and turmeric soubise, Hakurei turnip, and fennel.

Traducción al castellano / Spanish translation:
@spaceshipsandpurpledrank:
[Posteó un video de TikTok hecho por "zestyz_official", mostrando en proceso de preparación de kofta de carne en pan de pita [link: https://www.tiktok.com/@zestyz_official/video/7134374274067959082]. El texto del video dice "Punto de vista: le pediste hamburguesas a tu madre árabe".]
@cannibalfilmphd:
Eso de ahí es una muy buena hamburguesa con el intrigante agregado de especias de Medio Oriente 👀👀👀 (y como todos sabemos, la variedad es el sabor de la vida, y el sabor es la variedad de la comida). También me intriga cómo puso la hamburguesa dentro del pan de pita (¿Es eso pan de pita?), lo cual lo convierte en una especie de "panini de hamburguesa". Tiene buena pinta, voy a tener que probarlo.
@raindearreindeer:
Quiero hacer esto para mi familia, pero mi mamá sospecha bastante de la carne si no está bien cocida (es decir, ridículamente seca), así que me pregunto cómo cocinarla lo suficiente sin quemar el pan.
@vergess:
Puedes cocinarlo en un pan de pita muy fino con una fina capa de carne picada -ya sea de ternera o de cordero- para que la carne se cocine completamente en solo 1 minuto por lado. Pero además, la carne roja queda "bien cocida" a 72 grados Celsius (o 160 grados Fahrenheit); para la carne blanca, la temperatura es 75 grados Celsius (o 165 grados Fahrenheit). En cuanto al pan, en realidad ni siquiera se tuesta hasta los 123 grados Celsius (o 255 grados Fahrenheit). Entonces, si preparas estas hamburguesas de tamaño completo en una sartén a fuego medio-bajo, o en un horno a 150 grados Celsius (o 300 grados Fahrenheit), tardará unos 20 minutos en cocinarse en vez de tardar sólo 3 minutos, pero definitivamente no quemará el pan y la carne quedará muy bien cocida. Aquí está la receta al horno que sugerí en otra parte del post: https://www.tasteofbeirut.com/kafta-in-pita/
@devilsuncomet:
Tengo curiosidad por saber cuáles son las especias/condimentos para la carne, tengo tantas ganas de hacer esto yo mismo.
@vergess:
Siempre tiene perejil fresco y el "sabaa baharat", la mezcla de siete especias libanesa. En el vídeo de TikTok, también hay cebolla, ajo y jalapeño. Mucha gente también le pone tomate o pasta de tomate. Mi mezcla favorita de siete especias tiene canela, pimienta negra, comino, clavo de olor, cilantro, pimienta de Tabasco o nuez moscada, y jengibre o cardamomo, todo en partes iguales. Pero a decir verdad, siempre y cuanto tenga los primeros cuatro, los demás pueden depender de ti. Hay quienes usan pimentón y cúrcuma, hay quienes usan zumaque y menta... Es algo muy variable. Además, si no quieres hacer la mezcla vos mismo, un buen "garam masala" (otra mezcla de especias, pero del Sudeste Asiático en vez de Medio Oriente) tendrá todas estas especias y algunas más, y es un excelente sustituto listo para usar.
@earhartsease:
Téngase en cuenta que acá se habla de las semillas del cilantro, no sus hojas: la semilla de cilantro es increíble, huele como un Paradise Lemon y queda muy bien con las gachas y con la avena. Somos parte de la gente que no puede consumir las hojas, pero las semillas son realmente deliciosas y fragantes.
@agnesmontague:
"Internet Shaquille" hizo un video súper accesible acerca de cómo hacer esta comida, incluida la mezcla de especias y qué usar si no puedes acceder a los ingredientes exactos. Este es el link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K45Fr4gXyM Tiene consejos bastante similares a lo que otros usuarios acá dijeron anteriormente, salvo que todo está en un único video útil como referencia.
