Zingerman's Bakehouse Turns to Hungary for Inspiration For immediate release January 31, 2013 Contact: Pete Sickman-Garner [email protected], 734.904.0644 Zingerman’s Bakehouse Turns to Hungary For Inspiration As we move into 2013, visitor’s to Zingerman’s Bakehouse might be forgiven if they think they’ve been transported to a cukraszda in Budapest. Tucked among the traditionally baked breads, pastries and cakes that have been Zing- erman’s Bakehouse staples for 20 years, you’ll find such seemingly exotic foods as Flodni, Rigó Jancsi, and Pogácsa. Amy Emberling and Frank Carollo, the managing partners of Zingerman’s Bakehouse, began the exploration of Hungarian foodways three years ago. Looking for new avenues to expand their baking horizons, they made a plan to investigate the baking traditions of countries that might not be familiar to an American audience. “In choosing a baking tradition, we needed a place with a long, deep history of really great food but one that maybe doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Hungary definitely fit that bill.” After an extensive research trip to Hungary in the Fall of 2011 Amy, Frank and co-founder of Zingerman’s Com- munity of Businesses Ari Weinzweig were convinced that their choice to learn about Hungarian foodways was an excellent one. What followed were a series of trips over the next year, the most recent being to Transylvania in October 2012. After each trip, they delved into history and cookbooks and drew upon what they’d learned on their travels in order to recreate for Zingerman’s guests the amazing foods they found across Hungary. In 2011, the Bakehouse de- buted the Rigó Jancsi and two other tortes followed from there. Today, as many as 15 traditional Hungarian foods might grace the Bakehouse shelves on any given day, from traditional soups to breads flavored with paprika, to retés (strudels) and many desserts. They are offering Hungarian tastings as well as teaching people how to make traditional Hungarian foods in their hands-on teaching bakery, BAKE! This fall they’ve teamed up with the folks at Zingerman’s Food Tours to offer guided travel in October 2013 to the source of Hungarian food. When asked where they’ll go from here, Amy and Frank replied that they are considering an annual trip to Hungary to study in-depth. They also intend to focus on particular areas of Hungarian cuisine like Jewish-Hungarian food, the cuisine of the Roma, home cooking, and traditional Hungarian recipes transformed by modern chefs. They also note that they are beginning to plan visits to Ann Arbor from renown Hungarian bakers, chefs and artisanal food producers. For more information about Hungarian foods at Zingerman’s Bakehouse or to receive updates or schedule inter- views, please contact Pete Sickman-Garner, Marketing Manager, at [email protected] or 734.904.0644. * * * Zingerman’s Bakehouse was founded in 1992 when Zingerman’s Delicatessen founders Ari Weinzweig and Paul Saginaw decided they could bake better bread for their Deli sandwiches than they could buy locally, and they teamed up with old friend Frank Carollo to create the second of eight businesses in the Zingerman’s Community of Businesses. The Bakehouse added a pastry department in 1994 and in 2000 former pastry manager Amy Ember- ling joined Frank as co-managing partner. Today the Bakehouse is recognized as one of the finest bakeries in the country and sells bread and pastries at all Zingerman’s locations (including via mail at www.zingermans.com) and at retail locations throughout Michigan. :INGERMANS "AKEHOUSE s 0LAZA $RIVE !NN !RBOR -) s WWWZINGERMANSBAKEHOUSECOM s Hungarian Foods Made at anN ArboR, MI Rigó Jancsi [pronounced ree-go yon-chee] A traditional Hungarian coffee- house torte named after Rigó Jancsi (1858-1927), a famous Hungarian violinist who se- duced and married Clara Ward, Princesse de Caraman-Chimay and former Detroit native.

This presents ample opportunities for a wide range of U.S. baking ingredients including wheat, dairy products, dried fruit, nuts, fruit puree, fillings and even colorings. However, limited knowledge, lack of new recipes and low awareness, together with higher prices compared to Chinese ingredients, challenge penetration of U.S. ingredients.

  • Diabetes Exchange List
    THE DIABETIC EXCHANGE LIST (EXCHANGE DIET) The Exchange Lists are the basis of a meal planning system designed by a committee of the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association. The Exchange Lists The reason for dividing food into six different groups is that foods vary in their carbohydrate, protein, fat, and calorie content. Each exchange list contains foods that are alike; each food choice on a list contains about the same amount of carbohydrate, protein, fat, and calories as the other choices on that list. The following chart shows the amounts of nutrients in one serving from each exchange list. As you read the exchange lists, you will notice that one choice is often a larger amount of food than another choice from the same list. Because foods are so different, each food is measured or weighed so that the amounts of carbohydrate, protein, fat, and calories are the same in each choice. The Diabetic Exchange List Carbohydrate (grams) Protein (grams) Fat (grams) Calories I. Starch/Bread 15 3 trace 80 II.

Needless to say getting to know the basic features of the culture and traditions of the visited country also involves tasting the specialities of its national cuisine. Sometimes this may require some courage on the visitor's part, sometimes it may provide agreeable palate sensations to be remembered for years. In our opinion, a piece of expert advice may always come in handy. And this is the aim of the publication you have in your hands. Going Back in Time Nature has been generous to the original inhabitants of the Czech Republic giving them a wealth of gifts to live on, including an abundance of fish in the rivers and game in the forests, as well as fertile fields. Besides that, poultry, cattle and sheep breeding throve in the Czech lands. Popular meals included soups, various kinds of gruel and dishes prepared from pulses. The Czech diet was varied and substantial, and before long it was supplemented by beer and wine since vine-grapes have from time immemorial been cultivated successfully in the warm climate of the Moravian and Bohemian lowlands.

  • Consumption of Spices and Ethnic Contamination in the Daily Diet Of
    Chironi et al. Journal of Ethnic Foods (2021) 8:6 Journal of Ethnic Foods https://doi.org/10.1186/s42779-021-00082-8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Consumption of spices and ethnic contamination in the daily diet of Italians - consumers’ preferences and modification of eating habits Stefania Chironi1, Simona Bacarella2, Luca Altamore1, Pietro Columba1 and Marzia Ingrassia1* Abstract Currently, consumers appear to have diversified characteristics with regard to food tastes and consumption habits. The globalization of markets and the migration phenomenon contributed to the modification of food preferences of consumers who gradually introduce into their eating habits foods and recipes typical of the tradition of foreign countries. In this scenario, also in Italy, it is going to increase the use of “foreign products” with the consequent fusion of traditional cuisine techniques and recipes with ingredients that are typical of foreign countries and cultures. Foods and ingredients originally consumed in Asian or South American countries are increasingly consumed by Italian people, who have notoriously a strong “food identity,” who generally follow the Mediterranean Diet, and who consume typical products of the country. More particularly, the use of “new” or “novel” spices compared to those traditionally used in the preparation of Italian food has grown in the last 10 years. This study is an exploratory survey on the consumption of spices in Sicily (Southern Italy), which is an Italian Region with a high level of immigrated people and a good level of social integration and progressive inclusion. The objective of this study is to know whether and how Sicilian consumers’ consumption preferences, use, and purchasing behaviors with regard to spices changed in the last few years.
