Soul food recipes and the southern flavors

Filed under: Cooking, Ethnic, Food, Recipes, Cuisine - crunchy @ 7:30 pm

There is a branch of cuisine called soul food, that originated from the deep south during the days of slavery in USA. Back in those days, African slaves brought to America carried back with them some of their traditions and cooking cuisine from their native homelands. After a hard days work in the fields, slaves used to enjoy the companionship of each other by gathering around the evening meal. Soon, poor whites started adopting this cuisine, taught by the blacks. Added on by the influence of native american indian tribal cooking, and a whole branch of cooking gradually sprang up through the years, and reinforced by the civil rights movements of the 1960s, the term soul food was coined.

What are the characteristics of soul food?

It typically incorporates lots of grains, pork, potatoes and beans. The meals are meant to be appetizing and filling. Since soul food has its roots in humble, poor origins, most of the cooking involves refrying foods in deep oil or lard. Due to increasing health awareness, most soul food cooking today tries to make use of fresh vegetable oil and not refrying them. Also cooks have been testing with other meat alternatives like tofu, which may not be too puristic nor strong flavor-wise, but anyhow, a sign of the changing times. Soul food is marked by strong flavors and high content of protein and carbohydrates.

Nonetheless, soul food is today much in demand, and soul food recipes are highly sought after, especially among tourists who wish to taste some fine southern cuisine that represents the warm and distinct culture of the American south.

100 Year Old Tradition - The New England Clambake!

Filed under: Food, Gourmet, Seafood, Cuisine - crunchy @ 2:49 pm

For hundreds of years clambakes have widely existed. Originally introduced by the Native Americans in the New England area, they are now known the world over as New England Clambakes. With the spring season approaching, it’s a great time to plan a clambake with close friends and family.

The first clambakes were made in a pit. The pit was dug and filled partially with a layer of stones. Then it was layered with clams, potatoes, lobsters, and corn husks on top of hot stones with fresh seaweed separating the layers. Native Americans would make a fire in the pit to be able to cook the fresh seafood and veggies. When the fire is reduced to only hot ash and embers, they’d put the seafood on some very hot stones.

Most of the time, depending on the size of the gathering, people having a true clambake will go with a super deluxe clambake. The reason being that the added shellfish appeals to a wider section of party guests and they feed more people. That way everyone gets something that they can enjoy out of the clambake.

Modern clambakes do not use these old fashioned cooking methods. Nowadays, most people use a grill, stove, or possibly a fire pit. This makes clambakes ideal for outdoor parties, and in particular for camping outings. They’re convenient and are easy to clean up after to boot.

There are many places that you can order the fresh shellfish in order to have a healthy and fun clam bake. There are actually two different types of clambake orders. Typically they are called a standard clambake and a super deluxe clambake. The standard normally consists of lobster, clams, chowder, and supplies. The super deluxe clambake will usually add mussels and / or shrimp, or another form of fresh shellfish.

Fresh food, as we all know, is much healthier than processed food, so a healthy atmosphere for you and your party is ensured with a clambake. Since shellfish and other seafood are so very healthy, it also benefits by being fresh. We should remember that clambakes are healthy for us as well as being the epitome of fun and atmosphere.

This spring look into throwing a Classic American Clambake for your friends and family. They are a healthy alternative to fast food and provide a great setting for a patio adventure. The concept of the clambake is sure to intrigue many guests and will spark many new conversations across the span of the party.

A Classic American Clambake is so much healthier and entertaining than any kind of get together, when compared to pizza, fried foods, or high carb items, the Clambake is the best option!

Looking For African Food?

Filed under: Cooking, Ethnic, Food, Nutrition, Cuisine - crunchy @ 10:00 pm

African dishes are very often accompanied by alcoholic drinks, except for the Muslim countries in North Africa. South Africa is world famous for its first class red and white wines. Kenya has a local beer called Tusker which is exported. There are many bee keepers in Ethiopia and they make a drink called Tej from the honey which is similar in taste to mead. Ethiopian coffee is also well known in the West. The Tusker goes particularly well with African food. Africa is very specific continent and so is African food.
