    Dalmatian Cooking: Cuisine of the Slavic Mediterranean Ebook, Epub

    DALMATIAN COOKING: CUISINE OF THE SLAVIC MEDITERRANEAN PDF, EPUB, EBOOK John J Goddard | 274 pages | 17 Oct 2012 | Createspace | 9781468166187 | English | United States About Croatia — Fešta - The Croatian Food & Wine Festival Brudet , brodet or brodeto is a fish stew made in Croatian regions of Dalmatia, Kvarner and Istria, as well as along the coast of Montenegro. It consists of several types of fish stewed with spices and red wine, and the most important aspect of brudet is its simplicity of preparation and the fact that it is typically prepared in a single pot. It is usually served with polenta which soaks up the fish broth, while other recipes serve it with potatoes or bread. Brudets can significantly vary in style, composition and flavor, depending upon the types of ingredients and cooking styles used. Kulen is a type of flavoured sausage made of minced pork that is traditionally produced in Croatia Slavonia and Serbia Vojvodina. In parts of Slavonia, kulen is called kulin in Ikavian accent. The meat is low-fat, rather brittle and dense, and the flavour is spicy with the hot red paprika bringing it aroma and colour, and garlic for additional spice. The original kulen recipe does not contain black pepper; its hot flavour comes from the paprika. The traditional time of producing kulen is during the pig slaughter done every autumn by most households. Kulen matures during the winter; it can be eaten at this time, although not fully dried and cured yet, with very hot taste, but it will develop its full taste by the following summer.

Crafted by Hand. Real flavors, crafted by hand. That’s the essence of Tava Kitchen, a colorful, energetic venue celebrating South Asian cuisine. Launched in 2012 by three former business consultants, Tava has emerged as the Bay Area’s leading fast casual restaurant featuring the clean, fragrant flavors of India, shrewdly adapted for contemporary lifestyles. With a tightly focused menu, Tava’s selection of “burrotis” (burritos), rice bowls, and salad bowls, are fast, fresh, and affordable. Tava is calibrated for personalization: each meal is prepared while guests watch, directing each tasty preparation to their specifications. Based on a compelling vision to instill the freshest, most robust flavors of India into the mainstream, Tava Kitchen is an innovative concept that fuses the traditional flavors of Southern Asia with contemporary sensibilities. It’s a destination designed to capture diners that prize unparalleled taste, convenience, and personalization. Think of it as a modern take on a classic cuisine cast in a fun, casual environment. Tava aligns with Northern California’s dynamic entrepreneurial culture. It lets diners build their own hearty flavorful burroti –a variation on the burrito that swaps tortillas with roti, flat unleavened bread made fromstoneground wholemeal flour and baked in a special press. “The perception of Indian food is that it is mysterious, heavy, unhealthy, expensive and complicated.

INTRODUCTION Turkey is a Eurasian country that stretches across both the Anatolian peninsula in western Asia and Thrace in the Balkan region of southeastern Europe, geographically connecting Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Thanks to this extraordinary location, the lands of Turkey have been the homeland of many different civilizations such as Hittite, Lydian, Lycian, Ionian, Phoenician, Troyan, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman civilizations for the last 4000 years. As such, it has gained great historical, cultural and social diversity. Turkey has an almost rectangular shape with a total land area of 783 577 km2, surrounded by Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran to the east, Iraq, Syria and the Mediterranean Sea to the south, the Aegean Sea to the West, Greece and Bulgaria to the north west and the Black Sea to the north (Fig 1). Figure 1. Turkey, seven geographical regions (small map shown in lower left side of the big map) and neighbouring countries (http://guidemap.tk) Thanks to its great variety in geomorphology, topography and climate, Turkey has a large diversity of natural and agricultural habitats (Fig 2) hosting many different plant species and a large endemism. Approximately 3,900 out of the 12,000 plant species are known as endemic and this feature more or less results in about 75% of the plant species that occur in Europe naturally occuring in Turkey.

The foundation date of the City is offiCially Considered to be 1574, but in fact people lived here long before its modern appearance: this is confirmed by ancient settlements dating back to V-XI centuries. Later, the city itself appeared on the high hills, connecting the fate of the Bashkir and Russian peoples. Ufa is loCated on the border of Europe and Asia, and this fact largely deter- mined its multi-confessional and multi- national Culture. More than a hundred nationalities live in Ufa, the most nu- merous of them are Russians, Bashkirs and Tatars. The main religious denomi- nations are Christianity and Islam. Or- thodox Churches and mosques harmoni- ously Coexist in the City, as well as a synagogue and Lutheran сhurCh. The city itself is located on seven hills, at the foot of which three rivers meet at once – Belaya (Agidel), Ufa (Karaidel) and Dema. You Can admire the breathtaking view on several viewing platforms of the City. The most popular of them is the square near the monu- ment of the national Bashkir hero Salavat Yulaev. The rider galloping on his faithful steed is the most impressive sCulpture of the City and the largest equestrian statue in Russia (weighs more than 40 tons at a height of 9,8 meters) 2 Summers in Ufa are hot and winters are lengthy and Cold.
