There’s lots to love in the animated films of Studio Ghibli, like the meticulous attention to detail when it comes to portraying everyday life. And some of the most memorable scenes are the meals, which are often simple – it’s likely that most viewers have eaten them before. But it’s those everyday

Association of acute toxic encephalopathy with litchi consumption in an outbreak in Muzaffarpur, India, 2014: a case-control study

Association of acute toxic encephalopathy with litchi consumption in an outbreak in Muzaffarpur, India, 2014: a case-control study | The Asian Food Gazette. | Scoop.it
Our investigation suggests an outbreak of acute encephalopathy in Muzaffarpur associated
with both hypoglycin A and MCPG toxicity. To prevent illness and reduce mortality
in the region, we recommended minimising litchi consumption, ensuring receipt of an
evening meal and implementing rapid glucose correction for suspected illness. A comprehensive
investigative approach in Muzaffarpur led to timely public health recommendations,
underscoring the importance of using systematic methods in other unexplained illness
outbreaks.

Pho Garlic Vinegar Recipe (Dam Toi)

Pho Garlic Vinegar Recipe (Dam Toi) | The Asian Food Gazette. | Scoop.it
Seven years ago I was in Hanoi on assignment for Saveur magazine. My task was to explore Hanoi-style pho for a column called “Classics.” I’d done lots of reading and research and knew about ingredients like peanut worms (sa sung), which are used for umami in pho. I arrived in the capital thinking I’d be talking to local chefs about the worms, which seemed strangely and unique to the northern pho experience. But what I didn’t expect to encounter during my Hanoi pho experiences was dam toi garlic vinegar. Just like the above photo show, the vinegar appeared in plastic containers with long spoons for people to help themselves. It was on tables at nearly every pho shop I visited. It's what Hanoians expected

Eben Lenderking's curator insight, March 31, 2017 6:12 AM

How about just not using palm oil.  Even "sustainable" palm oil's sustainability is a myth.

Persian Herb and Leek Frittata | The Asian Food Gazette. | Scoop.it
Kuku sabzi (Persian frittata) tend to have less eggs than the typical fritter or omelet. They can be slightly sweet with dates and dried rose, or savory, like the one below. Try not to be diverted from all the greens that are suggested for this recipe. You really can use whatever hearty greens and herbs you like. It’s the ideal clean-out-the-fridge recipe.

KITKAT - LEMON AND KITKAT CHEESECAKE Preparation time : 20...

LEMON AND KITKAT CHEESECAKE

Preparation time : 20 minutes, Freezing time : 15
minutes, Refrigeration time : 4 hours

For 8 servings

 

Ingredients :

12 KITKAT fingers, 30
g unsalted melted butter, 250 g of 20% or 40% MG white cheese, 50 g sugar, zest
and juice of ½ lemon untreated, 3 sheets of gelatin, 100 ml very cold liquid
cream, 1 sachet vanilla sugar.

Preparation steps :

1. In a small blender,
mix 7 KITKAT fingers to obtain a fine and irregular powder. Mix with the melted
butter and pour into the bottom of an oiled cake pan (if possible made of
silicone). Lay 4 KITKAT fingers on top, to make 2 parallel lines, and cut the
last bar to make the link. Put in freezer 15 minutes.

2. In a bowl of cold
water, soften the gelatin sheets for a few minutes. In a salad bowl, whip the
white cheese with sugar and lemon zest. Heat the lemon juice 30 seconds in
microwave (maximum power).

3. Drain the gelatin
leaves by pressing them in your hands.  Place
them in the hot lemon juice and they will melt instantly. Let cool for 1 minute
and add to the white cheese.

4. Whip the very cold
cream, adding the vanilla sugar after one minute. Then very delicately add whipped
cream to the cheese preparation.

5. Pour into the cake
pan on top fo the KITKAT fingers.  Tap
the cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

6. Put in the
refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Remove from pan delicately, and serve in
slices.
