Legacy Park Community Hub in Hobart

Legacy Park Community Hub

Architects: Field Labs

Location: Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

The area between the Soldiers Memorial Oval and the Domain Athletic Centre has been developed into a new Community Hub, providing communal facilities including a barbecues, a nature-based Playscape and two Wood Fired Ovens. The park was named Legacy Park in March, 2019.

The overall masterplan includes axial references the site in its broader context (kunanyi / Mt. Wellington) and the Derwent River, with conceptual cues taken from the prospect, refuge, and geological structures within the Lost World, and summit of kunanyi / Mt. Wellington.

The immediate contextual response was to the established bush landscape of the Domain, and the site as the termination of the Soldiers Memorial Walk, from the Cenotaph.

Material cues were taken from the memorial Cyprus trees, and adjacent Eltham pavilion, with the aim of creating a coherent language to the built form in the area. The Playscape was developed as an inclusive play space, for children of different ages and abilities, and invites children to climb, clamber and provides opportunities for imagination when playing. The spaces are intended to be flexible and allow for a variety of scales of interaction, with a primary activity area alongside the main toilet and oven pavilion, with secondary activity areas adjacent to the smaller BBQ pavilions.

The project has provided much needed facilities to help service the existing activities around the Soldiers Memorial Ovals, and has reactivated an otherwise vacant carpark site. The Wood Fired Ovens and BBQ facilities fill a void within the Hobart CBD for bookable shelters for the public, and the play area is unique within Hobart.

The Wood Fired Ovens are for the use of everyone in Hobart, from community groups and organisations to small gatherings of families or friends. The Wood Fired Ovens are fired up every second Sunday for free community use.

The main pavilions forms a central hub to activity within the site, containing toilets, storage, and wood fired ovens. Open space, accessible paths, and play areas link the site and remaining pavilions and activity areas.

The project team comprised of Playce Landscape Architects (https://playce.com/) who were the lead consultant, and developed the masterplan for the site, and playspace design and documentation. Field Labs were a part of the Playce team, and worked on the overall conceptual design response, design and documentation for the pavilion structures.

Gaetano Palmese of Gaetano Palmese Architects was engaged by Hobart City Council in the role of ‘Superintendent’s Representative’ and as such oversaw the contract administration of the project from post tender, through construction to completion of the project.

The project was shortlisted in the 2019 Tasmanian Architecture Awards in the Public category, and given an Award for Public Architecture in July 2019.

The Recruitment of a Greek Soldier

Notes: This is the @weekofhetalia Secret Santa gift for @guiltipanda and I just have to say I’M SO FREAKING SORRY THIS IS SO LATE OTL please accept my apologies I had a few personal problems and my laptop was acting weird, but that’s really no excuse, so I’m so, so sorry you had to wait so long, please accept my apology ;;v;; 

Character Notes: Heracles is aph Greece, Sideris is aph Cyprus,  and their mother is aph Ancient Greece! No pairings, historical Hetalia

Historical Notes: “At early October 1912, Gendarmerie Major Spyros Spyromilios, a native of Himara, moved to the Greek island Corfu, opposite Himara. His mission was to organize groups of volunteers consisting of northern Epirus Greeks. He also received orders from the Greek government to communicate with the local Albanian beys of the surrounding regions. This unit was later reinforced by additional 200 Greek volunteers from Crete sent by General Konstantinos Sapountzakis, commander of the Greek army in Epirus front.” - via Wikipedia, Himara Revolt of 1912. Sources: *  *  *  *  

Summary: Heracles is packing his things before heading off to the recruitment station in Corfu, to fight in the war and take back Himara. He stumbles upon a few memories of home and his mother on his way out the door.

Happy Reading!

____

   Heracles hesitated when his hands brushed his favorite jacket, bought as a name day gift from his little brother and hemmed by his mother for many days after. It was a worn, gray thing, one that barely kept up with his growth into the 19-year-old man he was that night, but he knew that any type of clothing, especially in October, would be crucial and wanted in the army, even if it was just a volunteer position. He stashed the jacket into the loose sack with the rest of his clothing, haphazardly shoving spare pants and socks into the bag before standing up and throwing it over his shoulder. He noted how surprisingly light the sack was as he strode over to the door, ready to pick up some food and dash out the door before anyone woke up to the sound of his hurried footsteps.

As the young man grabbed a piece of slightly stale bread, his mind wandered to the day he and his little brother had gone to the marketplace, and with the pitter patter of the rain and the alertness that came with that jittery adrenaline, it didn’t much seem that distant of a memory.

“Heracles!” the boy shouted, shoving the cap harder on his head through the wild wind and grinning at his taller brother who dashed across the street to meet him. “Did you see that?!”

“I saw it, Sideris, but if Mama did she would have a heart attack. You can't just cross the street like that, there are horses and things that can run you over,” Heracles sighed for the millionth time before rustling the 7 year old’s hair. “Let’s just get the bread and go back home.” He looked up at the sky and added, “Before the storm come and blows us away.”

“That can’t happen,” Sideris ordered as they jogged to the best bakery in all of Corfu. “Wind can’t blow people away!”

“Tell that to Theo Achilles, he got blown off a cliff once.”

Sideris’s eyes widened as the wind screeched into the alleyway and crawled up the walls, before he hastily said, “No he didn’t!”

“Yeah, he did. Theia Maria told me.”

“Nu-uh!”

“Yu-huh!”

“Nu-uh!”

“Well I’m older so I know better than you, so I’m right anyway,” Heracles sniffed, putting his long hair behind his ears and wishing he brought a hairband to stop the whipping strands that blocked his view. The two stopped in front of a sign after a few quick turns and dashed inside.

“Well if it isn’t the little street urchins of Corfu! What can I get for you today?” the baker said, smiling at his frequent customers and gesturing to the fresh pile of bread and treats on the wall. “You’re just in time, we have some fresh koulourakia in the ovens that’ll be ready in just a moment!”

“Hello, sir!” Sideris chirped, waving at their old friend before saying, “Some bread please!”

“Let me do the ordering, Mama gave me the money,” Heracles mumbled but nodded his agreement before the baker grabbed a piece of bread off the walls.

“How many?”

“One,” Heracles replied and plucked out a few drachmas from his pocket. Without even asking the price he plopped the money on the counter and the 10-year-old waited for the baker to hand over the bread.

“Here you go, kids,” the baker chirped. “Are you sure you don’t want any koulourakia? They might go to waste because of this wild storm we’re having, so consider them half off!”

“No thank-” Heracles started before catching a glimpse of his brother’s wide puppy eyes.

“Please, Heracles? Just one?” Using the baby-brother face that he’d always been weak to, Heracles gave in and dug a few more drachmas out of his pocket. He’d have to save up his money next month.

Koulourakia now in hand, the two boys skipped out of the delicious haven of sweets and bread and chomped on the braided cookies while dodging the bullets of horses and ragged cars, splashing in puddles and following the wild wind home.

Heracles was jogged out of his memory when the house shuddered from a sudden gust of wind, and he cursed himself for his foolishness for wasting time like this. He was supposed to be at the recruitment center already, Major Spyromilios was leaving for mainland Greece the following morning, and like hell he was going to be left behind!

He snatched a cask of alcohol from the top cupboard where his mother always hid it and unscrewed the top, taking a sniff of the content inside before being assured that, yes, there was ouzo and a speck of whiskey in the old jug. He stuffed that in the sack as well, and as the rain hammered on the tiles and dripped onto the one spot on the floor they never fixed, his mind drifted once more to the first time he drank alcohol, smiling a bit as the memory popped into his thoughts.

Sideris was watching starstruck as Heracles held up the bottle, shaking it a bit like a professional and sniffing the drink before saying, “Ah yes, fine ouzo indeed.”

“How do you know?” his brother said in a hushed voice, speaking low in fear that their mother would come barging into their room and see they broke into her cabinet.

“It smells wifty.”

“That’s not a real word!” he huffed

“How do you know?” He paused for a moment as his younger brother stuttered before muttering that he was still right, though Heracles still felt a gloating sense of satisfaction, even though he didn’t know what their mother's throwaway term meant either.

“What does it taste like?” he said with wide eyes.

“I haven’t tried it yet, stupid.” The 14-year-old rolled his eyes and held the bottle leisurely. “I’ll drink it whenever I want to.” His brother sat there for a few moments before his impatience broke the silence once again.

“Can you try it now?”

“No.”

“Now?”

“No.”

A few seconds passed. “Now?”

“Alright, I’ll try it! But only because you keep insisting.” Heracles sniffed the bottle again before taking a deep breath. It smelled somewhat like grapes, though nothing like the wine their mother would offer time to time. After a few seconds of building up his courage, the teenager gulped down the all the liquor in the small bottle and gagged. “God, what is that?!”

“It doesn’t taste good?”

“What do you think?!” Heracles gagged, passing the drink to his little brother. “It tastes like that god awful licorice you can get from the street stands at the platia!”

“I love licorice,” Sideris considered thoughtfully before shrugging and taking a gulp himself. After letting the taste set in for a few seconds he raised an eyebrow at his almost heaving sibling. “It doesn’t taste that bad, Heracles.”

“It tastes like dog feet!”

“It tastes like candy and you know it.”

“Yeah, BAD candy. You can have the rest, bleh.”

“Mama said every Greek loves ouzo, so you must be broken or something. Are you sure you don’t want to try it again?”

“I’d rather kiss the Turk that killed Theo Achilles than drink that garbage.”

“So he didn’t die from the wind!”

“Of course not, dummy. He died from a bullet when we tried to take Crete back. I think. Doesn’t matter, that stuff tastes like crocodile ass and I’m not drinking it.”

Sideris got quiet and looked at the container thoughtfully. “Turks killed Theo Achilles?”

“Yeah, the bastards.” After taking a look at his brother’s depressed face he rushed, “Don’t worry, we’ll get them back for it when we take over Anatolia and Macedonia and beat the Ottomans dead! And we’ll go to war and get our land back and avenge Theo Achilles. Now, throw that gunk away or something before I chucked it out of a window.”

Sideris shrugged and doused the rest of the bottle. “It still tastes like candy,” he sighed disappointedly.

“Oh shut up.”

Heracles stared a the bottle in his hands, unaware that he had taken it out of the sack. It didn’t taste bad to him now that he had drunken it time and time again, but his little brother still was the one that worshipped the drink. He sighed and stashed the bottle away again, resolving to drink it on the road, and made one last circle around the kitchen for any food to take with him on the way to the recruiting station. Taking a few hair bands off the counters to tie back his brown hair and a pack of cards, Heracles started to head out towards the door.

One last memory waited for him in the doorway as his feet dragged on the wood and drew to a stop. A notch on the doorway, that was all. It was a notch their mother made when they bought a new door when some cannon or gun blew it off, back in the past. Heracles once again rubbed the notch for good luck, even giving a light knock as he willed his feet to move again. Still, the memory that haunted the doorway dripped over him and left him stranded in that single moment.

“What is it, Mama? Who are they?” Heracles whispered, watching the parade of soldiers and horses with wide eyes. Cannons and wagons and men marched past their little house on the main street, and his mother dived back inside, eyes wide. and hands shaking.

“It’s the soldiers, Heracles. They’ve come to fight for Greece against those who wish to harm us,” she smiled, but traces of fear lingered in her tugging hands and the way she ushered him away from the doorway.      

“Why are there so many?” he asked, cocking his head to the side and eyeing the proud soldiers in brilliant uniforms, the musicians that followed behind them, the glistening guns, and the way the woman on the street waved handkerchiefs and smiled with something lustful in their eyes. “Why did they come to Corfu?”

“This island is valuable, and they want to show off. Now come inside.”

“I don’t want to,” he objected, waving his mother’s hands away before rushing down the steps, eyes filled with the shiny picture of glory in front of him. “Did they come to kill the Turks?”

“Nonsense! There are no Turks here, at least, not as many. Please, Heracles, come inside,” she whispered, her pleading eyes turning him away from the pretty illusion in front of him and dragging him inside the old house.

“Why can’t I watch them?” He jerked his arm away from her in defiance as the door closed and she held him, taking a step back and crossing his arms, his eyes dancing with a religious fervor. “It’s just the army, Mama. I’m 15, you can’t order me around like a child!”

His mother became silent, wringing her hands and pulling her scarf tighter over her head. She stepped towards him cautiously,  taking his hands and bringing him in close.

“My Heracles,” she managed to get out from her suddenly choked throat, “Don’t you see?” She touched her forehead with his, her beautiful oldest son, who looked so much like his father, and she whispered, “If you learn to love them so much, I’m afraid one say they might steal you away from me.” She left the words stuck in her throat, but they still rang in the air.

I don’t want you to die.

Heracles jerked his hand away from the wood, wiping the somehow tainted hand on his pants and jumping down the steps. He let himself have one last look at the house behind him, taking in the squat roof, the narrow walls, the weathered steps. Finding himself blinking back a strange prickling in his eyes, he turned away, following the road to the recruitment station, choosing the path of the soldier, the man who would fight for his country in the name of the ancestors that his mother wore on her shawl, the path of a volunteer for the battles in the north, to fight in the great Balkan War in 1912.

With his back turned, he never saw a pair of tired, crying eyes behind the window of his mother’s room, or the brown hair of an abandoned brother left alone on the bedroom floor.

When Did We Get The Taste For Roasting Chestnuts?

When did we get the taste for Roasting Chestnuts?

    December, is by turns wet, dark and extremely chilly. On some days it is all those things! No wonder we like to line up warming treats to keep the cold away.

  Buying roasted chestnuts from a street vendor are a seasonal favourite. Vendors know the earthy, spicy scent is more than enough to get anyone into the Christmas spirit.

  Out and about on Cyprus you may chance upon a charcoal brazier with chestnuts roasting. If you see or smell these taste bombs, grab the chance to sample a delicious treat.

  Home Roasting Chestnuts

  The practice of roasting chestnuts has been around for donkey’s years. My paternal grandparents would take us children into the woods to collect chestnuts.

At their house we would toast those chestnuts in front of an open fire. Such memories resonate loud and clear.

Since I started writing this piece I have formed a plan. I'm going to find some chestnuts to roast with our older grandchildren. It would be a pity not to continue the tradition.

  When did we get the taste for Roasting Chestnuts?

Historians identify the 16th century as being when the nuts sold by street vendors became a commonplace.

  Alexander the Great and the Romans planted chestnut trees across Europe while on their various campaigns. The Greek army is said to have survived their retreat from Asia Minor in 401-399 B.C. thanks to their stores of chestnuts.

  Those wanting a quick and warming snack can enjoy the natural sweetness of the nuts. In parts of Italy roasted chestnuts have served instead potatoes.

  It has long been a tradition in Portugal to eat them roasted on Saint Martin’s Day, and in Tuscany on Saint Simon’s Day.

  Health benefits

  Carefully roasted chestnuts reveal their natural sweetness. This makes them an ideal snack if you want something to stave off a sweet tooth. Surprisingly nutritious, chestnuts have many health benefits. They are comparatively low in calories and a good source of fibre. They are also very rich in vitamin C, which may come as a surprise to you. Although technically nuts, they taste very unlike other nuts – the sweet, earthy taste is worth a try if you’ve never had one.

  Chestnuts are often roasted on a grill. This helps removal of their bitter, shiny skins. You can make them at home using a conventional kitchen oven. Cut a cross into each nut, put them on a roasting tin and bake them until the skins open. To eat, peel away the tough, shiny skin revealing the delicious interior.

  How to use Roast Chestnuts

  It’s so, so easy to make roast chestnuts, so why not roast up a batch for yourself on the 14th December? (Roast Chestnut Day)

  Most supermarkets offer chestnuts during the festive season. A boon if you are time poor. Bought this way, you won’t have to go foraging for them in the woods!

Journal #3: Koreshan Historic State Park

I. The Art Hall

When first entering the park, the tour guide led us into a building that was considered the art hall. This building was the center to where the Koreshan’s held their religious ceremonies led by their founder, held college classes that pertained to the workings of the camp, and played music and showed art for the residents. The art hall displays the histories of the Koreshan’s, with their founder Dr. Cyrus R Teed, and his revelations. 

Teed was adamant that G-d had told him the inner workings of our world. The universe was entrapped in the Earth, and that human beings would be immortal if they practiced celibacy. Women and men were held at the same standard, and their G-d was neither man nor woman. With this revelation, Teed decided to spread this message with creating a society of 10 million; only 200 joined. Teed gathered higher-class individuals, or individuals who were from rich beginnings and backgrounds, to join the commune (cult).  These individuals agreed to give up all their worldly possessions, and live on a commune. On this commune, they developed a college that was considered “pioneer university,” and held public concerts with orchestrations. Those who donated land could also be a part of the commune, but not have to be celibate. 

A representation of how the universe was entrapped inside the Earth.

How the commune would have finally looked if 10 million people had originally joined. The center would be in Estero, Florida, where the commune was located.

Teed’s “proof” that the universe was trapped inside the Earth. It was flawed, because it could be easily manipulated to help prove his theory/revelation.

A photo of the leader of the Koreshan’s, Dr. Cyrus R. teed. After his death in 1908, the population of the commune declined rapidly; by 1956 only 5 members remained as identifying as a Koreshan. 

II. General Store

Walking outside from the art hall and onto the main portion of the commune is the general store. This store was special, because it was the first sign that the Koreshan’s were sustainable. This store was the only store between Fort Myers and Naples at one point in time. All the food from the store was grown on the Koreshan land (that stretched 300 acres).  They sold local fruits, bread baked on property, molasses, and even gin. The original general store was burned down in 1938, but a new one was created shortly after with wings that held workers. 

The Koreshan’s realized that while they wanted to abstain from the use of money, they needed certain resources that they could not produce themselves. Anything that they could not make on their own, they would purchase from the income of their many business ventures. They had a concrete plant, made pots and flower erns, made own electricity and sold to neighbors( used until 1946 when FPL was developed), had lumber mills, publishing house, gas station, camp ground. They had lot of business because of their need for musical instruments in their public concerts  and parts for generator they built themselves. 

A window of the general store; tourists can read descriptions of what was being sold at this store.

A plaque placed outside of the general store for when it was rebuilt. It is now condemned due to water damage, so there are no pictures of the inside. :(

III. Bamboo Landing

This area was the docking area of the commune. They imported bamboo, which is actually a grass.  After a while, the Koreshan’s realized that many individuals were using the canal and money could be generated. The Koreshan’s began to tax individuals, almost like a pay toll on a main highway, while they pass through their portion of the canal. The local residents did not take to this idea very well, and the tax was taken down.

Bamboo trees that resided on the Koreshan commune. This was next to the docking area for fishing boats, and for travel. 

IV. Founder’s House

In the founder’s house the founder, Cyprus Teed, and his wife Victoria reside in the upstairs portion of the facility. After Cyprus’s death, the commune did not take to Victoria’s instruction (they never liked her) and she only lasted four months as the Koreshan leader. She eventually fled and married a dentist, forgetting about her past. Before Victoria left, they had a grand sitting/tea room, where they would house guests and show that they still maintained an extravagant culture. Along with the beautiful furnishings, we were able to see historic pictures of the members who resided in the commune. One by the left-hand side of the front door showed children who were introduced to Koreshan society; these children were not born into the society. Since this society believed in abstinence, no children were born and the population died because of this. All the children that resided in the commune were separated from their parents, in order to eradicate parental roles and make the commune more of a community. None of the children that were pictured below stayed in the commune until death.

A recreation of the sitting room Cyrus and Victoria had in their home.

V. Planetary court

The planetary court was made up of 8 women who oversaw the operations of the Koreshan society. These women dealt with money, led trade deals, and sought for the welfare of the community. The home that these women resided in could have fit 20 indidviduals at a given time, only 8 women and a man who helped the women lived in the home. Outside of the home, a gutter was attached to collect rainwater for washing dishes/clothes; this is another example of how this society practiced sustainability. 

An outside picture of the home for the planetary court. Rooms wrap around the entirety of the building.

The women who make up the planetary court and the one man that helped with external endeavors for the women.

An example of a room a women would have when residing in the planetary court. The house was built with wood paneling, sculptured wood that was used in large sailing ships, and much more privacy than the men tended to have.

VI. Bakery/ Members cottages

The Bakery was used for the general store, and produced more bread than a navy ship would produce for its men (over 500 loaves of bread). They owned 2-3 huge scale ovens to bake their bread, and the individuals who worked the ovens did not ususally stay in beautiful corners.

The cottages where the individuals who did not remain abstinent, and men, would reside in a hut looking cottage that was in no way the level of luxury the women seemed to have in the planetary court. They were considered shotgun buildings, because just like the barrel of a shotgun you can look to forward and see straight to the back of the room. 

An example of a member’s cottage. Usually 13+ individuals would reside in this cottage. 

A further explanation of the cottage.

VII. Industrial area

Proof that the Koreshan’s could be considered sustainable was in their industrialized area. They had developed a laundry mechanism, that both men and women would operate, that would run on a motor and be helped with physical labor. They also developed a whole building to construction, even having drills that you would run from the gears that lay above your head.

A few steps away, a building holding a generator was held. The Koreshan’s learned how to generate electricity and become self-sufficient without the need for other members of external communities.  Though there are no surviving members, volunteers will help get the generator running to this day.

A drill that was used for construction, and was started up by the gears held above the drill.

The original generator that the Koreshan’s used to generate electricity for their commune. They would run wires underneath the ground in order to not clutter the physical surroundings of the compound.

The Israeli Chef Making Ancient Rotten Fish Sauce the Not-so-traditional Way

Abie, the Doktor

It’s the morning of October 29. In the evening, Abie, the new restaurant owned by brothers Yotam and Asaf Doktor (proprietors of two other Tel Aviv eateries, Haachim and Dok) was to open its doors to clients for a trial run. Chef Asaf was worried, not only because of the grand occasion and the pressure of managing service and staff in a new location, but also because an unfortunate incident had occurred the morning before. “The chefs broke the last bottle of garum we’d prepared,” he said glumly. “I didn’t explode in a fit of anger – but I almost blew up inside. We’re making another batch of garum, but it won’t be ready for a few weeks.”

Garum, a basic element of the Mediterranean diet until the Middle Ages, is a sauce derived from salted, fermented fish, notable for its complex salinity and umami taste. In ancient times it was prepared by drying and fermenting small fish such as anchovies and sardines, together with their innards, in straw baskets or clay barrels that were placed out in the sun. In the past few months, Asaf Doktor, known to all as Dok or Doktor, experimented with the preparation of traditional garum, intended as a cooking ingredient and condiment for some of the dishes on the new menu.

“Some people want to go forward with progress, but my interest is to go back, to the traditions and the roots,” he says. “I have no problem using modern technology. I have a sous-vide cooker in the kitchen, and it cuts down the time to prepare garum from 6 months to 11 weeks. To accelerate the fermentation process, caused by enzymes originating in the fish guts, we used barley koji that we got thanks to the Dok restaurant. Because [the menu] is based exclusively on local ingredients produced in Israel, and because we invited the public to share interesting raw ingredients with us, almost every day someone knocks on the door and brings something. In this case, it’s a young man from a kibbutz in the north who’s interested in fermentation processes and who makes barley koji and miso.”

At Abie, Asaf and Yotam Doktor’s fish restaurant in Tel Aviv. Dan Perez

Curiosity about the past and the tendency to treat the restaurant’s kitchen as an experimental research laboratory is manifested in Abie’s most prominent feature: an immense wood-fired grill – 3.5 meters long, half a meter deep – that dominates the narrow, elongated space. Abie is named “a little for Abe Lincoln, like the street, and a lot for Abie Nathan, a restaurateur and person of peace who understood long before all of us that there’s a shared Mediterranean space,” says Asaf. It’s the next stage in the development of the restaurant business for the Doktor brothers and their partners.

Haachim, opened in 2011 on Ibn Gabirol Street in Tel Aviv, is a modern skewers restaurant based on a charcoal-fired grill. Dok is a small, intimate bar-and-restaurant adjacent to it, which opened in 2015. “Abie is something of a combination of the two,” Asaf Doktor says, “but a wood grill takes the place of the charcoal grill. For the local ingredients we’ll go with a less rigid version than in Dok – here you can have a coffee and eat tahini – but we will still work with small manufacturers who supply most of the products – the primary one being local fish. There’s no meat, only fish and vegetables.

“We work with four different fishmongers to try and acquire the best catch: fish imported only from the Mediterranean – Cyprus and Egypt – and hopefully importation of mussels and fish from Greece will also develop; and fish [raised in] local sweet-water ponds, mostly St. Peter’s fish and trout, which in my view have achieved excellent quality. When fishing in the Mediterranean stops during the reproduction period, we’ll serve a more pared-down menu, which will include fish from breeding ponds and pickled and preserved fish that we prepare ourselves.”

At Abie, Asaf and Yotam Doktor’s fish restaurant in Tel Aviv. Dan Perez

Cooking at the primal level

It’s enthralling to watch the big grill, in which two or three fires at different stages are always burning, and the work of the cooks, who incessantly need to feed the fire or shift a burning ember. “It’s cooking at the most primal level,” a cook who visited the restaurant early in the trial run said in amazement. “To throw logs on the fire, like in the past, and over them to grill animals, vegetables and fruits. In the modern age, cooking processes are hidden behind sophisticated instruments and techniques, but here you’re reminded anew of how the controlled use of fire was a driving force in human development.”

“Charcoal is also made of wood,” Dok says, explaining the choice of a wood-fired oven that entailed installation of a complex, costly system of chimneys and smoke filters to meet environmental standards. “But the burn and emission of charcoal are different,” he adds. “In a way, as with the challenge of local raw ingredients that we set at Dok, we’re making it hard on ourselves. With charcoal you skip the combustion stage and get a stable, long-lasting fire. With a wood stove, we have to start by igniting the fires, created from twigs with logs atop them, hours before the service; and because wood is more dynamic, we need to ensure a fire nonstop.

“It’s a headache,” he continues, “but it makes the work more interesting, with the goal of making the aromas and flavors more interesting, too. Working with wood also allows us to place the foods above the fire – at different levels of proximity to the flames or to the glowing coals – on thin nets, instead of the thick nets that a coal-fired grill requires.”

At Abie, Asaf and Yotam Doktor’s fish restaurant in Tel Aviv. Dan Perez

Wood for the fire comes from agricultural refuse provided by farmers who cut down trees, old groves and orchards; the main types at the moment are pomegranate, citrus and olive trees. The wood-fired oven is used simultaneously for grilling, for slow or fast cooking of fish, shellfish and vegetables, and for smoking fish heads and bones to produce stock. (The sight of fish hanging on a steel hook above the source of the fire makes you think of still lifes by Chaim Soutine or larder paintings by Juan Sanchez Cotan; the image will surely become an icon readily identified with the restaurant.)

The wood oven, covered with red bricks, also includes a hot smoker. The range of fish and cooking techniques made possible by this oven prompts thoughts about the use of the sea creatures’ less familiar parts, which usually get thrown out. One day in the restaurant’s trial run, an excellent stew of turnips cooked on the grill and then smoked together with the flesh of triggerfish heads was served. The next day came triggerfish stock and heads of little tunny with saffron and fennel.

In the first two weeks of the trial run – the restaurant opened in the season when fishermen return to the sea (between summer and winter, or what optimists call the “Israeli autumn”) – the first diners enjoyed excellent dishes based on blue crabs, striped sea bream, anchovies, Spanish mackarel, greater amberjack, chub mackerel and other local fish. The grilled trout, from local ponds, is also very good; and even better is the St. Peter’s fish, also raised in local ponds, served deep fried as is the custom here. “Frying enhances St. Peter’s fish,” Dok says. “I’ve noticed that wherever I go in the world people respect it and present it as the crowning glory of the local kitchen. Maybe the time has come for a renaissance of St. Peter’s fish in the Israeli consciousness, too.” Served with the fish is a selection of Mediterranean mezze, such as homemade ikra, labaneh and a spread made from fava beans and grilled vegetables.

Abie is located in a strange-looking concrete building that used to be a telephone exchange and had been abandoned in recent years. The nearest neighbor in the small, neglected commercial center, opposite excavations for the light train project, is a local supermarket. Like the brothers’ other two restaurants, which appear to have successfully captured the elusive essence of Israeliness, the design and atmosphere of the new establishment create a relaxed feeling free of formality and luxury elements.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect BBQ Gas Grill in Cypr

BBQ gas grill Cyprus is the right choice if you spend your weekends outdoors in Cyprus and enjoy entertaining with fresh food from the grill. Having seen the great number of BBQ gas grills in Cyprus to choose from is, in fact, a troublesome matter. This manual will help you navigate through the main points to be considered when buying a gas griller in Cyprus, and you will find the grill of your choice and suitability at an affordable cost.

Determine Your Budget

The first task you undertake while looking for a BBQ gas grill in Cyprus is to set your budget. Gas grills vary in price because of their size, features, and brands. Some can be purchased for around $300-$4000. Rethink how often you use your grill and what you need the most, and then set a proper budget that meets your needs.

Consider the Size

The size, cooking area, and type of cooking must be considered important factors when selecting the BBQ gas grill in Cyprus you will be buying. Imagine how big your crowd is and what dish types you enjoy cooking on the grill.

Look for good-quality

Making a wise purchase of a GAS fireplace in Cyprus implies carefully selecting a durably built model that will not soon become outdated. Find grills made from safe materials, including stainless steel or cast aluminum, that will be rust-resistant and durable. Furthermore, the grill grate thickness and the structure of the grill frame should also be taken into account because they govern both the performance of the food on the grill and the grill's lifetime.

Choose the Fuel Rightly

Another aspect that needs to be taken into account while selecting a propane BBQ Gas grill in Cyprus is the fuel type. The two key substitutes are propane and natural gas. Propane grills are endowed with great flexibility and can be used virtually anywhere, A natural gas grill, on the other hand, needs a built-in gas line and is a more permanent set-up. Think about the outdoor space of your house and prepare a list of the cooking style requirements that suit you the most when choosing the fuel type that is right for you.

Think Over a Variety of Attributes and Accessories.

Besides, when you need to decide what grill to choose, think about if there are any optional features and units that you want to have. Among the features that made the grill stand out are the side burners, rotisseries, and the temperature regulating device accordingly. Furthermore, check if your selected grill comes with useful accessories, like a cover, tool hooks, and storage shelves, making grilling an even better activity.

Conclusion

Making the right decision about a BBQ gas grill in Cyprus will depend on your budget, the kind of food you will cook, and the features you are looking for. Use this fundamental guide and compare size, construction quality, fuel type, and additional features to pinpoint the perfect grill for your outdoor cooking and parties.
