The American love affair with the Bungalow continues. And in this most adored housing style, it is the kitchen that homeowners must most often restore, renovate, or remodel. But no one wants an authentic Bungalow kitchen, which was a rustic space that usually featured just a stove, a hoosier, and a sink. While there are books that describe the authentic Bungalow kitchen, there are few that show readers how to update a Bungalow to handle today's lifestyle needs and personal preferences. Happily, manufacturers today understand the demand, and there are many material and appliance options for homeowners--and the designers they hire--to bring contemporary convenience and beauty to an updated or new Bungalow kitchen. The New Bungalow Kitchen not only provides wonderful historical nuggets about Bungalow kitchens, it offers a plethora of ideas about how to create a tastefully restored or remodeled kitchen, or build new within the style.
REVISED OCTOBER 2012 to include METRIC weights and measures as well as American Standard measuresSalsa is defined by The Free Dictionary as "A spicy sauce of chopped, usually uncooked, vegetables or fruit, especially tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers."Salsa is one of the most enjoyable foods today, and goes with just about any dish you can serve. It's great with tortilla chips, of course, but also makes a wonderful accompaniment with grilled foods, beef, fish, chicken, pork, and as a side dish.In this ebook I've included 80 delicious recipes. I focused on those that use only fresh ingredients, usually fruits and vegetables you can find at your local Farmer's Market, but I've also included a selection of recipes that have some cooking required, or that use canned or bottled products.Some or the recipes under the Fresh Salsa section include Pico de Gallo, Fresh Tomatillo Salsa, Avocado Corn Salsa, Pumpkin Seed Salsa, Moroccan Fresh Tomato Salsa, and Green Tomato Salsa.Under the section that includes salsas that have to be cooked, or include canned or bottled ingredients, I've given you Black Bean Salsa, Charred Tomato Mint Salsa, Grilled Pineapple and Mango Salsa, and Tangy Tomatillo Cumin Salsa, among others..In the Fruit Salsa section, some of the selections are Mango Salsa, Cherry Salsa, Kiwi Serrano Salsa, Hawaiian Mango Salsa, Green Papaya Salsa, and Peach and Mango Salsa.Not all 80 recipes are for salsas. I couldn't resist a small section (just 16 recipes) that I love and that go well when accompanied by salsa. In this section you will find a great recipe for Flour Tortillas, Indian Fry Bread, three great Guacamole Recipes, Hot Pepper Jelly, Pickled Jalapeno Pepper Slices, and Taco Seasoning. That just part of the list.
Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine by Samuel Hideo Yamashita Pdf
Samuel H. Yamashita’s Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine: The Food Movement That Changed the Way Hawai‘i Eats is the first in-depth study on the origins, philosophy, development, and legacy of Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine (HRC). The book is based on interviews with thirty-six chefs, farmers, retailers, culinary arts educators, and food writers, as well as on nearly everything written about the HRC chefs in the national and local media. Yamashita follows the history of this important regional movement from its origins in 1991 through the following decades, offering a boldly original analysis of its cuisine and impact on the islands. The founding group of twelve chefs—Sam Choy, Roger Dikon, Mark Ellman, Amy Ferguson Ota, Beverly Gannon, Jean-Marie Josselin, George Mavrothalassitis, Peter Merriman, Philippe Padovani, Gary Strehl, Alan Wong, and Roy Yamaguchi—grandly announced in August 1991 the establishment of what they called Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine. At the time, they had no idea how dramatically they would change the food scene in the islands. While they each had their own style, their common commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients of the highest quality at their restaurants quickly attracted the interest of journalists writing for national newspapers and magazines. The final chapters close with a discussion of the leading chefs of the next generation and an assessment of HRC's impact on farming, fishing, ranching, aquaculture, and culinary education in the islands. Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine will satisfy those who are passionate about food and intrigued by changes in local foodways.
