He mentioned an unrelated walnut tart recipe he discovered during a training session he conducted in Pakistan. From a crowded handmade pottery vase, he pulled out orangewood hand-carved forks from a desert bazaar in Morocco and a spatula from London. He took down his mother's copper pot from a hanging rack. Near it is an Indian metal plate for heating chapatis. He brought the plate (called a tava) from India, where he was a Peace Corps volunteer in the mid-1960s. Before he left on his two-year stay, his mother, Virginia, made sure he had the necessary survival skills: cooking with basic ingredients. "She said, 'There are some things you've got to be able to cook all around the world. You can get butter, eggs and milk, probably, so you've got to be able to cook with those,' " recalled the 60-year-old who moved to Santa Barbara in 1999. His father, Don, was a master with sandwiches, soups and meats. An adventurous cook, his mother was forever exploring other cuisines. But it was egg custard and spinach soufflZˇ that she chose to ready him for the trip. In Central India, he taught the locals his mother's recipes. They, in turn, exposed him to the region's lightly spiced cuisine. While later living in Washington, D.C., Mr.

  • Spices Form the Basis of Food Pairing in Indian Cuisine Anupam Jaina,†, Rakhi N Kb,† and Ganesh Baglerb,*
    Spices form the basis of food pairing in Indian cuisine Anupam Jaina,†, Rakhi N Kb,† and Ganesh Baglerb,* Affiliations: aCentre for System Science, Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342011, India. bCentre for Biologically Inspired System Science, Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342011, India. †These authors contributed equally to this work *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Culinary practices are influenced by climate, culture, history and geography. Molecular composition of recipes in a cuisine reveals patterns in food preferences. Indian cuisine encompasses a number of diverse sub-cuisines separated by geographies, climates and cultures. Its culinary system has a long history of health-centric dietary practices focused on disease prevention and promotion of health. We study food pairing in recipes of Indian cuisine to show that, in contrast to positive food pairing reported in some Western cuisines, Indian cuisine has a strong signature of negative food pairing; more the extent of flavor sharing between any two ingredients, lesser their co-occurrence. This feature is independent of recipe size and is not explained by ingredient category-based recipe constitution alone. Ingredient frequency emerged as the dominant factor specifying the characteristic flavor sharing pattern of the cuisine. Spices, individually and as a category, form the basis of ingredient composition in Indian cuisine. We also present a culinary evolution model which reproduces ingredient use distribution as well as negative food pairing of the cuisine. Our study provides a basis for designing novel signature recipes, healthy recipe alterations and recipe recommender systems. Introduction Culinary practices are shaped by complex interplay of culture, climate, geography and genetics (1–6).

Food is a marker of class and an instrument of socialization. Eating together plays a great role in building up human relations and spreading the culture of taste. Street food that are usually sold on the streets by hawkers and vendors in portable stalls and carts is one of the much sought after choice among the current generation. Street food culture is closely linked with road travels and has become a fashion statement for the riders who are on a mission to discover new tastes and to get in touch with unfamiliar places. India with its rich culinary tradition and diverse cuisine offers a wide range of tastes that stirs the appetite of a food lover.
