On the Curry Trail: Chasing the Flavor That Seduced the World | Raghavan Iyer

#TodayILearned that hot peppers were not used in European, African or Asian cuisines before the 16th century. Even though I had known that chili peppers came from the Americas, I somehow didn't clue in, since I've enjoyed so many hot spicy foods from Indian, Korean and other cuisines!

TEArificbooks Same with tomatoes. And for years Europeans wouldn‘t eat them cause they are from the nightshade family. And what amazing dishes they created with tomatoes. 🍅 3d

kwmg40 @TEArificbooks I hadn't thought of tomatoes, but you're absolutely right! It's such a staple in so many cuisines around the world these days. 2d

On the Curry Trail: Chasing the Flavor That Seduced the World | Raghavan Iyer

pick

This was a cookbook that I enjoyed reading all the way through, as it contained interesting history about how curries evolved in different parts of the world and lots of tips on using different spices. I made a baharat spice mix from one of the recipes and hope to try a few more recipes before I return this book to the library.

PuddleJumper Haha that's a fun interpretation 3d

kwmg40 @PuddleJumper I don't usually read many books in the other “spicy“ category, but I do love spicy foods! 😂 3d

1. Holiday lights put up
2. Night hike with a friend
3. Movie date with husband to see “Rental Family”
4. Flowers from a patron and a joy filled day at the day started with a man angry the paper was not ready at 8am. His tantrum was epic and ridiculous.

How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking | Nigella Lawson, Lawson

It‘s always a bit of a question whether the fruit will actually stay put with Nigella‘s cranberry upside down cake, but this time most of it ended up in the right place! Hurray! I whipped the cake up special this afternoon to use up the last of the cranberries I got in the post-Thanksgiving sale. Only people recovering from Covid were allowed to eat some.

xicanti An interesting Thing about cranberries and this recipe: it calls for 3/4 cup OR 6oz (I bought my copy of the book in the US). I always go by weight, and I end up with more like 1.5 cups of cranberries. I can only conclude the UK variety is twice as heavy as what we get in Canada, which might also explain why so many of the cranberries want to float up into the cake while it cooks. 5d

TheBookHippie Yummmmm. I sometimes have trouble converting her recipes too but they always taste good. Hope all people return to health! 5d

Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with People You Love: A Cookbook | Samin Nosrat

pick

This is a hug of a book. I find the author (of Salt Fat Acid Heat fame) completely charming and loved her stories and approach to cooking and enjoying eating with loved ones. I have the physical book, which is beautiful, and have made a few things from it, but also listened to her narrate the non-recipe parts on audio and enjoyed it. Great food/eating/cooking book!

TheBookHippie This is on my holiday wish list! 6d

willaful I just saw this at a store today and was thinking it had my husband's name on it. 6d

Reggie There‘s this podcast called Normal Gossip and Samin is a guest one episode and it has to do with Farmer‘s markets. It was so funny and she was soooo good. 3d
