There is no doubt
about it, my time consuming passion absolute favorite thing in the world is
cooking and cuisine, I believe my college major of food service and beverage management
would defiantly reflect this. My interest in food goes beyond just the
experience of cooking and eating itself, but why certain dishes have come to
be, why certain ingredients and flavors were put to use and why the foods of
two countries right next to each other can be so different, yet two cuisines on
opposite sides of the world can have similar flavor profiles. SOOOOO along with
providing an array of recipes traditional and fusion alike, this blog would
also provide analysis regarding the geographical, economic, political,
philosophical and agricultural effects on cuisine and its perception. If you
have ever wondered why your Puerto Rican friend went into hysterics when you
mention your images of their family dinners consisting of tacos and margaritas
or when you ask a Turk “But isn’t baklava Greek!?!” and they start a political
rant, odds are the answers will be here soon enough.
There are enough blogs and journals educating people in the
chemistry behind cooking and though I respect them 100%, and have learned a lot
of useful facts from them, they tend to bore me to an extent. I feel that there
is a lack of solid information out there about the social effect on food, how
human itself affect the food it eats, so I feel this blog will help fill in
that gap.
In regards to my recipe writing skills, I cannot promise
flawlessness, usually when I write down my recipes they are just for my usage,
so I am also using this blog as a way to improve my recipe writing skills. If
anyone reading them has any constructive criticism that could help my recipe
writing skills, do not hesitate, it will only help me as a writer.
