PIZZA

Ingredients

300g high grade flour
25g yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 standard cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon olive oil

Method

Pour the flour on to the bench in a heap, make a hollow centre to form the “well” and add a level teaspoon of salt, sugar and olive oil. Crumble the yeast into a small cup of lukewarm water, pour it into the well a little at a time and start mixing. At the start the dough will be soft and sticky, but it will become stiffer and more elastic as you knead it.

Thump the dough hard against the table and press your wrists against it to make it smooth and even. When you have repeated this procedure many times, you will find that the dough comes away from your hands and the bench easily and now forms a ball. Cut a cross on the top and leave to rise in a warm corner of the bench covered with a clean tea towel.

Leave for about two hours, during which time the dough will double in size. At this point, after rising, the dough may be kneaded again for a few minutes and used immediately or frozen.

Israeli cuisine - hummus

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:

* 1 16 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
* 1/4 cup liquid from can of chickpeas
* 3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
* 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation:
Drain chickpeas and set aside liquid from can. Combine remaining ingredients in blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup of liquid from chickpeas. Blend for 3-5 minutes on low until thoroughly mixed and smooth.

Place in serving bowl, and create a shallow well in the center of the hummus.

Add a small amount (1-2 tablespoons) of olive oil in the well. Garnish with parsley (optional).

Serve immediately with fresh, warm or toasted pita bread, or cover and refrigerate.
Variations
For a spicier hummus, add a sliced red chile or a dash of cayenne pepper.
Storing Hummus
Hummus can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be kept in the freezer for up to one month. Add a little olive oil if it appears to be too dry.

Africa cuisine - Fufu

What you need

* two cups instant mashed potatoes
* two cups Bisquick
* two cups cassava flour or tapioca (tapioca is made from cassava tubers)


What you do

* Bring six cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Combine at least two of the three ingredients and add to the boiling water. Use a strong wooden spoon to stir constantly for 10-15 minutes. You may need two people: one to hold the pot and one to stir. If the fufu seems thinner than mashed potatoes, add more of the dry ingredients. The fufu should be very thick but must be stirred constantly to avoid lumping and burning.


* Shape the fufu into balls (this can be done by putting a cup of fufu into a bowl with a few spoonfuls of warm water and shaking the bowl back and forth until the fufu shapes itself into a ball). Serve immediately with meat stew or any dish with a sauce or gravy. To eat it, tear off a small handful with your fingers and use it to scoop up your meat and sauce

Cameroonian cuisine - Ndolé

INGREDIENTS:
Kale or Turnip Greens (10 quarts when still raw) Raw,
Skinless peanuts (2-4 cups)
Tomatoes (6)
Garlic (4-7 cloves)
White Pepper (35 peppercorns)
Leek (1)
Onion (1.5)
Bouillon Cubes (3)
Salt (to taste)
Hot Peppers (Scotch Bonnets, if possible)
Fresh Celery Leaves and Parsley (to taste)
Meat (2 pounds) or Fish (Cameroonians often use Cod)
Vegetable Oil

Clean the greens, removing the stems, and cut into small pieces.

Soak the peanuts in plain water for 30-45 minutes. While they are soaking, cut the meat into pieces, and boil with 1/2 onion and a small quantity of salt, until well cooked. Note that once the meat is cooked, you will drain it and save the stock. Blend the tomatoes and 1/2 leek (the white part). Cut 1/2 onion, a bit of parsley, and a bit of celery leaves into small pieces. In your food processor, grind the other 1/2 leek, white pepper, hot pepper, ginger, and garlic. Now, drain the peanuts and puree in a blender with 1/2 onion and just enough water for the blending.

Heat oil until very hot, and add the sliced 1/2 onion, parsley and celery leaves. After a couple of minutes, add the blended tomato mix. Let this cook for several minutes, and then add the meat. Now, take half of the ingredients that you ground in the food processor, and add to the sauce, along with some of the meat stock. Let this cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring periodically, and then add the blended peanut mixture, along with a bit of salt and the cubes.

A note on the blended peanuts -- you want the peanuts to be noticeable in, but not dominate the sauce, so experiment with the quantity that seems appealing.

Add a small amount of meat stock (or plain water if the stock is insufficient) and the greens. Let this cook for a few minutes, and then add more water as needed, and the rest of the ground ingredients. Add salt to taste, and stir with regularity so that the sauce doesn't burn. I recommend a medium heat. As with many sauces in Cameroon, Ndole is thick and not watery. Let the sauce cook another 5 to 10 minutes, again stirring.

some people say, its KFC recipe :D

Ingredients Required

2-3 pounds of chicken pieces
1 quart Water
3 tablespoons Salt (used for soaking)
1 cup milk
1 egg beaten
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon Accent (MSG)
1 tablespoon salt (for recipe)
1 teaspoon black pepper
Soybean Oil (do not substitute) for frying

Instructions

1. Place chicken into large bowl of salted water and allow to soak for approximately 30 minutes.

2. Beat egg and mix with milk in a bowl. Add and mix flour, Accent, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.

3. Preheat deep fryer to 350F, or place 3/4 inch oil in a skillet set on medium.

4. Remove and dry chicken using paper towels.

5. Place in flour mixture, place in milk/eggs mixture, and then back into flour mixture. Do this one piece at a time making sure that each piece is covered completely during each step.

6. KFC uses pressure cookers to fry chicken, which I don't recommend you do at home. If you are using a deep fryer, cook a few pieces at a time for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Similarly, if pan frying, cook covered, turning occasionally for about 25 - 30 minutes.

7. Make sure you check the middle of the largest chicken piece cooked to check for doneness. (No pink)

8. When done, allow chicken pieces drain on paper towels.

Russian cuisine - piroshki

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
* 1 onion, finely chopped
* 1 teaspoon salt
* ground black pepper to taste
* dried dill weed to taste
*
* 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
* 1/4 cup warm water
* 1 cup milk
* 3 eggs
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 4 cups all-purpose flour
* 3 cups oil for frying


Directions

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until evenly browned; drain. Stir in the onion and cook with the beef until translucent. Sprinkle in salt, pepper and dill weed to taste. Allow to cool before using.

2. Dissolve the yeast in the 1/4 cup of warm water and place in a warm location until frothy, about 10 to 15 minutes. In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and gently whisk in the eggs, oil, sugar and salt. Remove from heat.

3. Place half the flour in a large mixing bowl and gradually stir in the milk mixture. Then add the yeast solution alternately with the remaining flour, stirring after each addition. Mix well. Knead until the dough forms a ball and does not stick to the bowl. (Note: Start with the 4 cups of flour. You may need to add more, a little at a time, as you knead the dough). Cover the bowl with a clean cloth. Set in a warm location and allow to rise until doubled in volume.

4. Remove dough from bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Pinch off pieces approximately the size of golf balls. Roll the pieces into disks about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter.

5. Fill center of each disk with a heaping tablespoon of the cooled meat mixture. Fold disks over the mixture and firmly pinch edges to seal. Arrange on a flat surface and allow to sit approximately 10 minutes.

Russian cuisine - zakuski

PREP AND COOK TIME: About 1 hour

NOTES: Spring onions are freshly dug, small-bulbed onions with green stems still attached. They make for tender, mild pickled onions. Look for them in good produce markets or at farmers' markets. If they are unavailable, use pearl onions. You can make the onions up to 2 days ahead; cool, cover, and chill with liquid. Strain and bring to room temperature before serving.

MAKES: 10 to 12 servings as part of an appetizer menu

1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
8 whole doves
1 teaspoon hot chili flakes
1 dried bay leaf
12 ounces spring or pearl onions (about 30,
1 to 1 1/2 in. wide; trim any greens before
weighing), rinsed (see notes)

1. In a 1 1/2 to 2-quart pan over medium heat, combine vinegar, salt, sugar, cloves, chili flakes, bay leaf, and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Russian cuisine - shchi

For the Stock

* Beef bones -- 3 pounds
* Beef brisket -- 2 pounds
* Onions, chopped -- 2
* Carrot, chopped -- 1
* Celery -- 2 stalks
* Parsley -- 2 or 3 sprigs
* Salt -- 1 tablespoon
* Peppercorns -- 8 to 10
* Bay leaf -- 2 or 3
* Water -- 4 quarts

For the Soup

* Butter or oil -- 3 tablespoons
* Onions, thinly sliced -- 2
* Cabbage, quartered, cored and shredded -- 1 large head
* Potatoes, peeled and diced -- 1 pound
* Tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped -- 2 cups
* Salt and pepper -- to taste

Method

1. Add all the stock ingredients to a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer slowly for 3 or 4 hours. Skim and discard any scum that floats to the surface.
2. Remove the brisket from the pot and set it aside to cool. Strain the stock through a fine sieve and discard the bones and vegetables. When the brisket is cool enough to handle, cut it into bite-sized chunks. Set the brisket and stock aside.
3. Clean the pot and return it to the stovetop. Heat the oil over medium-high flame. Add the onions and saute for 3 or 4 minutes, or until they are wilted. Add the shredded cabbage and saute for another 4 or 5 minutes until it is also cooked down and wilted.
4. Add the reserved brisket and stock back to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add the potatoes, tomatoes, salt and pepper and simmer for another 20 minutes.
5. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve in bowls, accompanied by slices of hearty rye bread. Garnish with a large dollop of sour cream and some chopped fresh dill.

Variations

* Shchi Kisliye (Sour cabbage soup): Substitute 1 pound of fresh, drained sauerkraut for the cabbage. Rinse the sauerkraut with cool water and squeeze dry before adding it to the pot. You can also try half fresh cabbage and half sauerkraut.
* Shchi Vegetarianskiye (Vegetarian cabbage soup): Use vegetable stock in place of the beef stock and eliminate the brisket.
* Other Additions: Saute some minced garlic or some sliced mushrooms along with the onions. Stir in a tablespoon or two or tomato paste when you add the stock. Add some peeled and diced celery root, parsley root, carrots, parsnips or turnips when you add the potatoes.

Russian cuisine - Chicken Lapsha

* chicken leg & 1 chicken wing
* 3 midsize potatoes
* 2 carrots (1 really small)
* 2 onions (1 really small)
* Dill, parsley, laurel leaf, black pepper
* 1 egg
* Flour
* Water

Cooking

Lapsha is Russian for noodles. Traditionally, the noodles are cooked right before adding them to the soup. And to prepare the real famous Russian lapsha, you have to do it yourself – supermarket macaroni won't give THE taste.

For noodles: mix 1 egg with a cup of flour, add as much warm water as needed to get a tough elastic dough. Roll it into a thin sheet, no more than 2 millimetres thick. Spread some flower on it, roll it up loosely and cut it into short pieces. Then spread the lapsha on the cooking board covered with a little flour to dry for about 30 minutes.

Now cook the chicken broth. You need to cook it with a small carrot and a small onion, and when the broth is done, just throw these veggies away, this gives the broth clarity and sweet taste. Cut the meat off the bones, put it back into the broth, add chopped carrots, wait for the soup to boil and in 5 minutes add finely chopped potatoes and onions. In 5 more minutes – lapsha and spice. It will take 5-7 minutes more to cook.

Dutch cuisine - Kerststol

Ingredients:

* 2 cups raisins (250 g)
* 1 cup dried cranberries (150 g)
* 4 tbsp orange liqueur
* A pack of white bread mix
* 2/3 cup warm water (150 ml)
* 2/3 cup warm milk (150 ml)
* 1 1/2 tbsp butter (25 g)
* 2 tbsp sugar
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon
* 1 tsp orange zest
* 1/3 cup chopped candied orange peel (50 g)
* 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (50 g)
* 1/3 cup chopped hazelnuts (50 g)
* 1 cup (tightly packed) 'spijs'/almond paste (200 g)
* 1 tbsp melted butter
* Icing sugar, to sift on top

Preparation:
Soak the raisins and cranberries in the orange liqueur overnight. In a large mixing bowl, add the water, milk, butter, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and orange zest to the white bread mix. Knead for a few minutes (you can do this in a mixer with a dough attachment) until the dough forms a ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rest for 10 minutes in a warmish place. Add the chopped candied orange peel, nuts and the (drained) soaked fruits to the dough. Knead again.

Roll the almond paste into a log of approximately 10 inches (26 cm). I find it easiest to roll it into a sausage shape in plastic wrap and then it in the fridge while the dough is rising.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with some flour. Place the dough on the parchment paper and form an oval shape of approximately 8 inches by 12 inches (20 x 30 cm). Place the almond paste roll lengthways down the center of the dough. Fold the dough over the almond paste lengthways, and gently pinch to seal. Cover the bread with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 392 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Brush the top of the bread with water and bake for approximately 45 minutes until brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack and brush with the melted butter. Dust with icing sugar before serving the bread in thick slices, slathered with real butter.

Dutch cuisine - speculaas

Ingredients:

* 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour (200 g)
* 1/2 cup dark brown sugar (100 g)
* 7 tbsp butter (100 g)
* 2-3 tbsp milk
* 3 tsp speculaaskruiden or pumpkin pie spice
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* The finely grated zest of half an orange
* A sprinkling of extra flour to dust the work surface.
* --------
* OPTIONAL
* 1 egg white, beaten
* Extra brown sugar
* Flaked almonds

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 347 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a baking sheet. Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl and knead. You should be able to shape the dough into a ball without it sticking to your hands. Cover the dough ball with plastic wrap and set aside for an hour. This allows the spices to work their magic.

Flour your work surface and press your dough into an even, flat layer. Using a cookie cutter, cut shapes from the dough and place on the greased baking sheet. Brush with egg white and sprinkle some brown sugar and flaked almonds on top of each cookie. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until you can see that the almonds are caramelizing and the cookies are turning a slightly darker shade of brown. Remove from the baking sheet and allow to cool on a cooling rack.

Makes about 2 dozen speculaas cookies.

Dutch cuisine - frikandel

Ingredients:
• 1 pound of minced beef
• ½ onion
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 egg
• 1 big boiled potato
• about ½ tsp salt
• about ½ tsp nutmeg
• ground pepper
• some chopped parsley (optional)
• oil or margarine

Prep:
- Slice onion and garlic as fine as possible.
- Mash the boiled potato roughly
- Mix all ingredients well
- Shape meatballs to about 5 cm round. To get smooth meatballs, wet your hands regularly with water.

Put the balls on a plate, cover them with foil and let them stiffen in the fridge for at least half an hour. This keeps them from breaking while frying.
Put the fat in the pan, heat it and fry the balls quickly until brown all around. Turn them carefully using two spoons.
Now turn the heat to low, cook the balls until done for 20-30 minutes. Keep turning from time to time.
Take the meatballs out of the pan and dry them on a sheet of kitchen roll for a minute.

Garnish if wanted with chopped parsley.

Not suitable for freezing

Large piece of salmon, about 4-1/2 lb. (2 kg)
1/3 cup (1 dl) coarse salt
4 Tbsp sugar
3-4 tsp roughly-ground white pepper
Plenty of fresh dill

1. Fillet the salmon unless bought ready filleted. Do not, however, remove the skin.

Indonesian cuisine

Indonesian cuisine reflects the vast variety created by the people who live on the 6,000 populated islands that make up the modern nation of Indonesia. There is not a single "Indonesian" cuisine, but rather, a diversity of regional cuisines formed by local Indonesian cultures and foreign influences.

Throughout its history, Indonesia has been involved in trade due to its location and natural resources. Additionally, Indonesia’s indigenous techniques and ingredients were influenced by India, the Middle East, China, and finally Europe. Spanish and Portuguese traders brought New World produce even before the Dutch came to colonize most of the archipelago. The Indonesian island of Maluku, which is famed as "the Spice Island", also contributed to the introduction of native spices, such as cloves and nutmeg, to Indonesian and global cuisine.


Sumatran cuisine, for example, often shows Middle Eastern and Indian influences, featuring curried meat and vegetables, while Javanese cuisine is rather more indigenously developed. The cuisines of Eastern Indonesia are similar to Polynesian and Melanesian cuisine. Elements of Chinese cuisine can be seen in Indonesian cuisine: items such as bakmi (noodles), bakso (meat balls), and lumpia have been completely assimilated.

The most popular dishes that originated in Indonesia are now common across much of Southeast Asia. Popular Indonesian dishes such as satay, beef rendang, and sambal are also favored in Malaysia and Singapore. Soy-based dishes, such as variations of tofu (tahu) and tempe, are also very popular. Tempe is regarded as a Javanese invention, a local adaptation of soy-based food fermentation and production. Another soy-based fermented food is oncom, similar to tempe but created by different fungi and particularly popular in West Java.

Indonesian meals are commonly eaten with the combination of a spoon in the right hand and fork in the left hand, although in many parts of the country (such as West Java and West Sumatra) it is also common to eat with one's hands. In restaurants or households that commonly use bare hands to eat, like in seafood foodstalls, traditional Sundanese and Minangkabau restaurants, or East Javanese pecel lele (fried catfish with sambal) and ayam goreng (fried chicken) foodstalls, they usually serve kobokan, a bowl of tap water with a slice of lime in it to give a fresh scent. This bowl of water with lime in it should not to be consumed, however; it is used to wash one's hand before and after eating. Eating with chopsticks is generally only found in foodstalls or restaurants serving Indonesian adaptations of Chinese cuisine, such as bakmie or mie ayam (chicken noodle) with pangsit (wonton), mie goreng (fried noodle), and kwetiau goreng (fried flat rice noodles).

Rice is a staple for all classes in contemporary Indonesia,[1] and it holds a central part in Indonesian culture: it shapes the landscape; is sold at markets; and is served in most meals as a savoury and sweet food. Rice is most often eaten as plain rice with just a few protein and vegetable dishes as side dishes. It is also served, however, as ketupat (rice steamed in woven packets of coconut fronds), lontong (rice steamed in banana leaves), intip (rice crackers), desserts, vermicelli, noodles, arak beras (rice wine), and nasi goreng (fried rice).[2]

Rice was only incorporated into diets, however, as either the technology to grow it or the ability to buy it from elsewhere was gained. Evidence of wild rice on the island of Sulawesi dates from 3000 BCE. Evidence for the earliest cultivation, however, comes from eighth century stone inscriptions from the central island of Java, which show kings levied taxes in rice. Divisions of labour between men, women, and animals that are still in place in Indonesian rice cultivation, can be seen carved into the ninth-century Prambanan temples in Central Java: a Water buffalo attached to a plough; women planting seedlings and pounding grain; and a man carries sheaves of rice on each end of a pole across his shoulders. In the sixteenth century, Europeans visiting the Indonesian islands saw rice as a new prestige food served to the aristocracy during ceremonies and feasts.[1]

Rice production requires exposure to the sun. Rice production in Indonesian history is linked to the development of iron tools and the domestication of Wild Asian Water Buffalo as water buffalo for cultivation of fields and manure for fertilizer. Once covered in dense forest, much of the Indonesian landscape has been gradually cleared for permanent fields and settlements as rice cultivation developed over the last fifteen hundred years.

Other Staple Carbohydrates

Other staple foods in Indonesia include maize (in drier regions such as Madura and the Lesser Sunda Islands), sago (in Eastern Indonesia), cassava (dried cassava, locally known as tiwul is an alternate staple food in arid areas in Java such as Gunung Kidul and Wonogiri) and root tubers (especially in hard times).
