Use this checklist to clean out and build your spice collection so that authentic and delicious Mediterranean and Middle-eastern cuisine is always at your ngertips. - Chef Aliye Your Spice Checklist for Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern Cooking Chef Aliye Earthy CUMIN is used in many cuisines around the world. Keep seeds and ground on hand for maximum avor and freshness. Purchase small quantities of OREGANO from a reputable supplier for maximum freshness. I prefer Turkish or Mexican oregano over Italian or Greek varieties. Available in many varieties, PAPRIKA is commonly used for color and avor. Try a sweet Hungarian paprika or smoky Spanish variety for something different. TURMERIC has incredible medicinal qualities and adds a terric earthy and savory avor to dishes. Diaspora Co. is one of my favorite brands. CORIANDER is the seeds of the cilantro plant and adds a sweet oral quality to dishes. Keep whole seeds and ground on hand. SUMAC is the ground berries of the sumac plant, and has an extremely tart avor. Use it in place of lemon, can be sprinkled on salads, with bread and olive oil, or over pasta. CINNAMON is often used in savory dishes in Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern cuisine. Use the same variety in both sweet and savory dishes. ALLSPICE is a spice commonly used in savory dishes in Middle eastern cuisine. Allspice comes from a tree, and is native to the West Indies and central America. TURKISH RED PEPPER, also called ALEPPO PEPPER, comes from the Halaby pepper. Dried and ground, its avor is fruity, slightly smoky, and a little spicy.

They’re also influenced by where we live, our budgets, and our tastes. Many cuisines feature dishes which include a variety of foods from all of the food groups. Fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. The combination of foods and amounts will depend on you. Personalize Your Plate by including foods that you prefer from each food group. Including a variety of foods can help you get all of the nutrients that are needed for good health. These tips can help you get started: • Fill half your plate with fruits and veggies. Get creative with produce by trying an assortment of colors and textures. • Experiment with different grains. Try substituting whole grains for refined grains in recipes. • Choose lean protein foods. Vary your choices to include beans, peas and lentils as well as eggs. If you eat meat, choose seafood and lean cuts of meat and poultry that are prepared in a healthful way, such as baked or grilled instead of fried. • Complete your meal with dairy. Include low-fat or fat-free options like milk, yogurt, cheese or calcium-fortified soymilk. A healthful eating style can be as unique as you! Meal Planning Tips Eating healthy doesn’t have to be complicated or boring. Think about the foods you like from each food group – mixed dishes count, too!

The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture AN ANALYSIS OF A MIDDLE EASTERN ENCLAVE: LITTLE EGYPT A Thesis in Architecture by Dina Mahmoud © 2015 Dina Mahmoud Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Architecture May 2015 The thesis of Dina Mahmoud was reviewed and approved* by the following: Alexandra Staub Associate Professor of Architecture Thesis Adviser Nida Rehman Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture Ed Coulson Professor of Business Economics Mehrdad Hadighi Professor of Architecture Head of the Department of Architecture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This study explores a Middle Eastern enclave of New York City, known as Little Egypt. It examines the ethnic characteristics and social behaviors found within this Arab enclave. Components of the research include physical characteristics of the place, such as Arabic signage, hookah displays found in storefronts, and culturally inspired street events. Additionally, the study explores the implications and use of culture to define an enclave. I examined cultural events that are either politically, socially, or religiously relevant as ways in which the member of the enclave used them to create a territory of their own. I also assessed aspects through theories developed by urban theorists and economists, such as Jane Jacobs’s concept of the effectiveness of small fragmented businesses, Michael Porter’s definition of clusters and Alejandro Portes’s enclave economic theory. These theoretical models are the backdrop of the study and are tested in Little Egypt as a way to analyze the vitality of the enclave.

[INGREDIENTS] by Karen Nachay Spicing Up Food Formulating cuisines continue to have a big impact on culinary applications and consumer packaged food and bever- age products. Using authentic ingredients and drawing inspiration from regional cuisines within larger geographical regions is reflected in menu options and consumer product goods. In addition to global cuisine influencing consumers’ preferences and product development, bold, unusual, or unexpected flavors and ingredients have an effect as well. Many consumers want something different from their food, and ingredi- ents like spices and herbs can give these consumers the taste sensa- tions like heat, sweet, umami, herbaceous, warm, smoke, and more, and allow them to experience the foods and flavors of cuisines from around the world right in their own dining rooms or at local restaurants. “Eating is always an experience for people,” says AnnMarie Kraszewski, Spices and herbs are o plane ticket?

Middle Eastern Cuisine
MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.
