I always catch up on my favourite food shows on TLC, Epic TV, Food Food and such other channels. Their content on cuisines from around the world and food history is indeed mindblowing.
One of the many such episodes telecast was about Asian cooking, Italian cooking and also our very own Indian cooking. Needless to say, I have watched these episodes many times already. Each time, it's like watching for the first time, with the same thrill and amazement. Thanks to them for the reruns of the episodes.
What I noticed is that, what we do not pay much attention to, means a lot to the natives. Whether it is making pizza bread or pasta, it is done with so much passion and dedication, that it almost made me tear up. It usually does. Coming to the point, I have made a note of some very basic foods.
Pizza Bread
This is where it starts from. We love pizzas, the delicious topping, the gooey cheese. But it takes a great amount of skill and labour to get the perfect pizza base, or the Pizza Bread. It’s an art in itself. With only minimal ingredients and the freshest produce, the process, the kneading with the heel of the hand, all those minute details matter so much. Italian cooking is indeed amazing.
Chicken Salad
Chicken lovers will go out on a limb to have anything that has chicken in it, even if it's a salad, is the joke that goes around in my friend circle. Like this, Chicken Salad. A bowl of this simple way of making a salad with a few exotic ingredients, is a good amount of protein dose and veggies with a medley of flavours is something that anyone can rustle up in a jiffy. I just can’t help but be amazed with the depth of Asian cuisine and particularly the use of toasted peanuts, honey-chilli sauce and sesame. It all comes so well together. I like mine a little chilled.
Fried chicken
Yumm! Here comes my favourite cuisine, Indian and also the way I like my chicken, marinated with amazing Indian spices and pastes, coated in cornflakes mixtures and then deep-fried. Voila! That’s my Fried Chicken And with this super easy recipe, I can now have this anytime. That’s so cool. I am sure gonna make this recipe.
One of the few things we read about in novels. Since then it has been on my mind to have Apple Pie. The wonderful brown crust and the simple filling of tart apples cooked in sugar with a sprinkling of cinnamon makes this dessert so much decadent. How about topping it up with vanilla ice-cream?
