Appetizer
An appetizer is a small first course of an overall meal.
Common examples include: shrimp cocktail,
calamari, salad, potato skins,mussels, bruschetta
or cheese and crackers. An appetizer may also be very
elegant in some restaurants.

Hors d'oeuvre ; French: hors d'uvre , literally "apart from the [main] work") or the first course,
are food items served before the main courses of a meal.
Use

Assortment of hors d'oeuvres

Deviled eggs are a cold hors d'oeuvre

If there is an extended period between when guests arrive


and when the meal is eaten (for example during
a cocktail hour), these might also serve the purpose of
sustaining guests during the wait, in the same way
that apritifs are served as a drink before meals. Hors
d'oeuvre are sometimes served with no meal afterward. This
is the case with many reception and cocktail party events.

Hors d'oeuvre may be served at the dinner table as a part of the meal, or they may be served
before seating. Hors d'oeuvre prior to a meal are either rotated by waiters or passed. Stationary
hors d'oeuvre served at the table may be referred to as "table hors d'oeuvre". Passed hors
d'oeuvre may be referred to as "butler-style" or "butlered" hors d'oeuvre.

Though any food served prior to the main course is technically an hors d'oeuvre, the phrase is
generally limited to individual items, not crudits, cheese or fruit. For example, a glazed fig
topped with mascarpone and wrapped with prosciutto is considered an "hors d'oeuvre," whereas
figs on a platter are not.

These are by far the best sausage balls ever made. What makes these sausage balls so good? Well, the
secret ingredient is cream cheese. The cream cheese keeps the sausage balls very moist and tender. We
used hot sausage to give the sausage balls a little kick, but regular sausage would work well too. Bring

CANAPES

Canap

A canap (a type of hors duvre, "outside the (main) work") is


a small, prepared and usually decorative food, held in
the fingers and often eaten in one bite.

Name

The name comes from the French word for "couch," drawing on the analogy that the garnish sits atop the bread
as people do a couch.

Details

Wild salmon canape by Chef Kevin Doherty

Because they are often served during cocktail hours, it is often


desired that a canap be eithersalty or spicy, in order to encourage
guests to drink more. A canap may also be referred to as finger
food, although not all finger foods are canaps. Crackers or small
slices of bread or toast or puff pastry, cut into various shapes, serve
as the base for savory butters or pastes, often topped with a "canopy"
of such savoryfoods as meat, cheese, fish, caviar, foiegras, pures orrelish.

Traditionally, canaps are built on stale white bread (though other foods may be used as a base), cut in thin
slices and then shaped with a cutter or knife. Shapes might include circles, rings, squares, strips or triangles.
These pieces of bread are then prepared by deep frying,sauting, or toasting. The foods are sometimes highly
processed and decoratively applied (e.g., piped) to the base with a pastry bag. Decorative garnishes are then
applied. The canaps are usually served on a canapsalver and eaten from small canap plates. The technical
composition of a canap consists of a base (e.g., the bread or pancake), a spread, a main item, and a garnish.
The spread is traditionally either a compound butter or a flavored cream cheese. Common garnishes can range
from finely chopped vegetables, scallions, and herbs tocaviar or truffle oil.

Vol-au-vent

A vol-au-vent

A vol-au-vent (French pronunciation: [vlov], "blown by the wind") is a small,


round canap made of puff pastry.

Amuse-bouche
The French started offering canaps to their guests in the 18th century, and
the English adopted the practice at the end of the following century. One modern version of the canap is
theamuse-bouche. Amuse-bouche literally means mouth amuser, but is translated more delicately as palate
pleaser.

2. CAVIAR

Caviar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about sturgeon roe. For other uses, see Caviar (disambiguation).

"Black caviar" redirects here. For the Australian racehorse, see Black Caviar.
Salmon roe (left) and sturgeon caviar (right) served with mother of pearl caviar spoons to avoid tainting the taste of
the caviar.

Ossetra caviar, salmon creme fraiche, potato shallot croquette, basil oil, egg whites and yolks

Caviar, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization, is a product made from salt-cured fish-eggs of
the Acipenseridae family. The roe can be "fresh" (non-pasteurized) or pasteurized, with pasteurization reducing
its culinary and economic value.[1]

Traditionally the term caviar refers only to roe from wild sturgeon in the Caspian and Black Seas[2] (Beluga,
Ossetra and Sevruga caviars). Depending on the country, caviar may also be used to describe the roe of
other fish such as salmon, steelhead trout, trout, lumpfish, whitefish,[3]and other species of sturgeon.[4][5]

Caviar is considered a luxury delicacy and is eaten as a garnish or a spread. In 2012, caviar sold for $2,500 per
pound, or $3,000 to $5,500 per kilo.[6]

Varieties[edit]
Russian and Iranian caviar tins: Beluga to the left, Ossetra in middle, Sevruga to the right

The four main types of caviar are Beluga, Sterlet, Ossetra, and Sevruga. The rarest and costliest is
from beluga sturgeon that swim in the Caspian Sea, which is bordered by Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia,
Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan. Wild caviar production was suspended in Russia between 2008 and
2011 to allow wild stocks to replenish. Azerbaijan and Iran also allow the fishing of sturgeon off their
coasts. Beluga caviar is prized for its soft, extremely large (pea-size) eggs. It can range in color from
pale silver-gray to black. It is followed by the small golden sterlet caviar which is rare and was once
reserved for Russian, Iranian and Austrian royalty. Next in quality is the medium-sized, gray to
brownish osetra (ossetra), and the last in the quality ranking is smaller, gray sevruga caviar.

Cheaper alternatives have been developed from the roe of whitefish and the North Atlantic salmon.
In the wake of overfishing, the harvest and sale of black caviar was banned in Russia in 2007 but
resumed in 2010, limited to 150 kg (330 lbs).[12]

Crudits are traditional French appetizerscomprising sliced or whole raw vegetables[1] which are sometimes
dipped in a vinaigrette or otherdipping sauce. Crudits often include celerysticks, carrot sticks, bell
pepper strips, broccoli,cauliflower, and asparagus spears; sometimesolives depending on local customs.
The French word "crudit", which designates uncooked vegetables, originates in much the same way as the
English word "crude", from Latin. The Latin word "crdus" simply means raw. Later, it was refined to "crdits",
which means "undigested food" and then on to "crudit" in French.[1]

In different countries[edit]

The deviled egg can be seen in recipes as far back as ancient Rome.[2] It is still popular across the continent
of Europe. In France it is called uf mimosa; in Hungary, tlttttojs ("stuffed egg") orkaszintojs ("casino
egg"); in Romania, ouumplute ("stuffed eggs"); in the Netherlands gevuldei ("stuffed egg");
in Sweden fylldagg ("stuffed eggs"). In many European countries, especiallyBelgium, France,
the Netherlands and Germany, a variation is served known as "Russian eggs". This consists of eggs cut in half,
served with vegetable macdoine and garnished with mayonnaise, parsley and tomato.[3] Contrary to what the
name might suggest, the dish does not originate in Russia: its name derives from the fact that the eggs are
served on a bed of macdoine, which is sometimes called Russian salad. In the Black Forest region of
Germany, Russian eggs may be garnished with caviar.[4] In Sweden, the deviled egg is a traditional dish on the
Easter Smrgsbord, where the yolk is mixed with caviar, cream orsour cream, optionally chopped red onion,
and decorated with chopped chives or dill, perhaps with a piece of anchovy or pickled herring. Deviled eggs are
a common dish in the United States. In theMidwestern and Southern U.S., they are commonly served as hors
d'oeuvres before a full meal is served, often during the summer months. Deviled eggs are so popular in the
United States that special carrying trays are sold for them. Prepared and packaged deviled eggs are now
available in some U.S. supermarkets.

Preparation[edit]

Deviled egg plate

Cool hard-boiled eggs are peeled and halved lengthwise, and the yolks are removed. The yolks are then
mashed and mixed with a variety of other ingredients, such as mayonnaise and mustard.[5] Tartar
sauce or Worcestershire sauce are also frequently used. Other common flavorings include: diced pickle or
pickle relish, salt, ground black pepper, powderedcayenne pepper or chipotle chillies, turmeric, vinegar,
green olives, pimentos, poppyseed, thyme, cilantro, minced onion, pickle brine, caviar, cream, capers, andsour
cream. The yolk mixture is then scooped with a spoon or piped back into each egg "cup". Old
Bay,paprika, curry powder, chives, and dill may then be sprinkled on top as a garnish. It may be further
decorated with dollops of caviar, anchovy, bacon, or herring.

In French cuisine, the other ingredients are most likely to be pepper and parsley. In Hungarian cuisine the yolks
are mashed and mixed with white bread soaked in milk, mustard and parsley, often served as an appetizer in
mayonnaise or as a main course baked in the oven with Hungarian sour cream topping and served with French
fries. Other common flavorings of the yolks in theGerman cuisine are anchovy, cheese and caper.

Flavorings[edit]

Contemporary versions of deviled eggs tend to include a wider range of seasonings and added foods, such
as garlic, horseradish, wasabi, sliced jalapeos, cheese, chutney, capers, salsa, hot
sauce, ham, mushrooms, spinach, sour cream, caviar, smoked salmon or other seafood, andsardines.

Name[edit]

The term "deviled", in reference to food, was in use in the 18th century, with the first known print reference
appearing in 1786.[6] In the 19th century, it came to be used most often with spicy or zesty food, including eggs
prepared with mustard, pepper or other ingredients stuffed in the yolk cavity.

In some parts of the Southern and Midwestern United States, the terms "stuffed eggs", "salad eggs" or
"dressed eggs" are used, particularly when the dish is served in connection with a church function
presumably to avoid dignifying the word "deviled", in reference to "The Devil".

Dumplings are cooked balls of dough. They are based on flour, potatoes or bread, and may includemeat, fish,
vegetables, or sweets. They may be cooked by boiling, steaming, simmering, frying, orbaking. They may have
a filling, or there may be other ingredients mixed into the dough. Dumplings may be sweet or savoury. They
can be eaten by themselves, insoups or stews, with gravy, or in any other way. While some dumplings
resemble solid water-boiled doughs, such as gnocchi, others such as wontons resemblemeatballs with a thin
dough covering.

African cuisine[edit]

Fufu fit the definition of a dumpling in that they are starchy balls of dough that are steamed. Fufu are staples to
the diet of many regions of Africa, although they may be known by several other names. The fufu originates in
Ghana, where it is often eaten in soups, much like the matzo ball, or with a vegetarian or meat-based stew. An
example of the variation of fufu is the banku and kenkey, dumplings formed from fermented cornmeal dough.
Banku are boiled while kenkey are partly boiled then finished by steaming in banana leaves.[1] There are
several other versions of fufu in Africa and the Caribbean.

Tihloprepared from roasted barley flour originated in the Tigray region of Ethiopia and is now very popular
in Amhara as well and spreading further south.[2]

Souskluitjies are dumplings found in South Africa. They are a steamed sweet dumpling, sometimes made with
plain flour and sometimes with the addition of dried fruits or other flavors. They are often served with a syrup
flavored with cinnamon or a custard sauce.[3][4]

South Africa has another kind of dumpling known as melkkos. These dumplings are formed by putting milk, one
teaspoon at a time, into a dry flour mixture. The flour clings to the milk and forms dumplings, which are then
boiled in a mixture of milk and butter. They are served hot and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.[5]

European cuisine[edit]
British and Irish cuisine[edit]
Savoury dumplings made from balls of dough are part of traditional British and Irish cuisine. Traditionally
dumplings are made from twice the weight of self raising flour to suet, bound together by cold water to form a
dough and seasoned with salt and pepper. Balls of this dough are dropped into a bubbling pot of stew or soup,
or into a casserole. They sit, partly submerged in the stew, and expand as they are half-boiled half-steamed for
ten minutes or so. The cooked dumplings are airy on the inside and moist on the outside. The dough may be
flavoured with herbs, or it may havecheese pressed into its centre.

After beef stew is finished, a dessert can be created by topping the dumplings and gravy with sugar.
The Norfolk dumpling is not made with fat, but from flour and a raising agent.[6] Cotswold dumplings call for the
addition of breadcrumbs and cheese, and the balls of dough may be rolled in breadcrumbs and fried, rather
than cooked in a soup or stew.[7] Vegetarian dumplings can be made with vegetable suet, a type of shredded
vegetable fat.

When sweetened with dried fruit and spices, dumplings can be boiled in water to make a dessert. In Scotland,
this is called a clootie dumpling, after the cloth.[8]

Italian cuisine[edit]

Gnocchi

Ravioli and tortellini fit the basic definition of a dumpling: these are pockets of pasta enclosing various fillings
(cheese, mushrooms, spinach, seafood, or meat). Instead of being made from a ball of dough, the dough is
rolled flat, cut into a shape, filled with other ingredients, and then the dough is closed around the
filling. Gnocchi (Spanish: oquis, widely adopted inArgentina, Portuguese: nhoque, Slovene: Njoki) is a
different kind of Italian dumpling. The word gnocchiliterally means "lumps", and they are rolled and shaped from
a mixture of egg with potato, semolina, flour, orricotta cheese (with or without spinach). The lumps are boiled in
water and served with melted butter, grated cheese, or other pasta sauces.

Scandinavian cuisine[edit]
In Norway, dumplings have a vast variety of names, as the dialects differ substantially. Names include
potetball, klubb, klbb, raspeball, komle, kumle, kompe, kumpe, kodla, kudle, klot, kams, ball, baill,
komperdse, kumperdse, kompads, ruter, ruta, raskekako, risk, klotremat, krumme and kromme. They are
usually made from potatoes and various types of flour, and then boiled. Occasionally they contain pork meat,
such as bacon, in the middle. In some areas it is common to serve the dumplings with syrup.

In Sweden, potato dumplings mainly have two names. In the northern parts they are usually called Palt,
or Pitepalt, and are filled with salted pork and eaten with melted butter and lingonberry jam. In southern
Sweden, and land, the potato dumpling is called Kroppkaka, and is usually filled with smoked pork, raw
onions and coarsely ground pepper, usually served with cream and lingonberry jam. On land, the south-
eastern coast and in the north the dumplings are made mainly from raw potatoes, whereas in the southern
mainland boiled potatoes are mainly in use. Flour dumplings for use in soup are called Klimp.

Plum dumplings

Germany, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic andSlovakia boast a large variety of dumplings, both sweet and
savoury. A dumpling is called Klo in Northern Germany, Kndel, Nockerl or Knpfle in Southern Germany and
Austria. These are flour dumplings, the most common dumplings, thin or thick, made with eggs
and semolina flour, boiled in water. Meat dumplings (called Klopse or Klpse in North-Eastern Germany,
Knpfle and Nocken in Southern Germany) contain meat or liver. Liver dumplings are frequent additions to
soup. ThringerKleare made from raw or boiledpotatoes, or a mixture of both, and are often filled
withcroutons. Bread dumplings are made with white bread and are sometimes shaped like a loaf of bread, and
boiled in a napkin, in which case they are known asnapkin dumplings (Serviettenkndel).

Maultaschen are a Swabian (Baden-Wrttemberg) specialty food, consisting of an outer layer of pasta dough
with a filling traditionally made of minced meat, spinach, bread crumbs and onions and flavored with various
spices. Similar in appearance to Italian ravioli, Maultaschen are usually larger, however, each Maultasche
being about 812 cm (3-5 inches) across.

In Hungary, dumplings are called galuska or nokedli - small lumps cut from a thick flour and egg batter and
dropped into boiling water, similar to the GermanSptzle, Knpfle, or Kndel. Sweet dumplings are made with
flour and potato dough, which is wrapped around whole plums or apricots, and then boiled and rolled in hot
buttered bread crumbs. Shlishkes or Krumplinudli are small boiled potato dumplings made from the same
potato dough as the sweet plum dumplings, also rolled in hot buttered bread crumbs.

In Czech cuisine dumplings have two main forms:

Kndel is called in Czech knedlk and in Slovakiaknedliek. It can be either houskov (bread) or
rarely bramborov (potato) kndel (dumpling). These dumplings are boiled in loaf shape and then cut in
slices and are part of many Czech national dishes: together with pork and sauerkraut
as Vepoknedlozelo or with beef as Svkovnasmetan.

Ovocnknedlky (ball-shaped knedle) filled in with fruit: plums, strawberry, blueberry etc. Meal is
completed on plate with grated cottage cheese, melted butter and powder sugar.
Bryndzovhaluky, considered the Slovak national dish, are small potato dumplings without a filling, served
with salty sheep's cheese on top. The same dumplings are also used to create a similar dish,strapaky. Also
available are their related stuffed version called pirohy, usually filled with bryndza(bryndzovpirohy), quark
cheese, potatoes, onions, cabbage, mushrooms, or meat.

Idrijskilikrofi are Slovenian dumplings, regionally located in the town of Idrija. They are made from dough with
potato filling and have a characteristic form of a hat. likrofi are made by a traditional recipe from the 19th
century, but the source of the recipe is unknown due to lack of historical sources. The dish may be served as a
starter or a side dish to meat based dishes. likrofi were the first Slovenian food to be classified as a Traditional
speciality guaranteed dish.

The only potato dumpling museum in the world, the ThringerKlomuseum, is located in Germany, in the
municipality of Heichelheim near Weimar.

Eastern European cuisine[edit]

Lithuanian potato (cepelinai)

Ukrainian vareniki

Pierogi of Poland, varenyky of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, and pelmeni of Russia are ravioli-like crescent-
shaped dumplings filled with savoury or sweet filling. They are usually boiled, and sometimes fried before
serving. They are often served with plenty of sour cream. Kluski are a different variety of Polishdumplings.

"Little ears", variously called uszka in Poland, ushki() in Russia, vushka () in Ukraine,
andvushki () in Belarus, are folded ring-shaped dumplings similar in shape to Italian tortellini or Jewish
kreplach. They are stuffed with meat or mushrooms and traditionally served in borshch or clear soup.
InRomania, "little ears" (Romanian: urechiue) are also served in dumpling soup (sup de glute)

Lithuanian dough dumplings are called koldnai andvirtiniai. Usually they are filled with meat or curd. One of
the varieties is called altanosiai and is made with blueberry filling. There are also potato dumplings
calledcepelinai or didkukuliai, filled with meat or curd inside, served with soured cream. A similar dish exists in
Belarus that is called klyocki (i).

In Russian cuisine, the most common type of dumplings is pelmeni, which are usually filled with meat,
traditionally with a combination of pork, beef and mutton (or game meat). Fish pelmeni are also known.

In Siberia, especially popular with the Buryat peoples are dumplings called pozi (buuz in Mongolian,
from Chinese: ; pinyin: bozi). They are usually made with an unleavened dough, but are often

encountered leavened. The traditional filling is meat, but the kind of meat and how it is processed varies. In
Mongolia, mutton is favored, and is chopped rather than ground; pork and beef mixes are more popular in
Russia. Unlike most other European dumplings, a poza is cooked over steam, not boiled.

Samsa (related to the Indian samosa), cheburiki, and belyashi are all popular imported dumplings.

Dropped dumplings simmering for chicken and dumplings, an American comfort food
Several types of dumplings are popular in the United States. Bite-sized, hand-torn pieces of dough are cooked
in boiling chicken broth along with a variety of vegetables to make the dish chicken and dumplingswhich is
served as a thick soup. Dumplings are often used as part of the regionally popular Burgoo stew.

The baked dumpling is popular in American cuisine. These sweet dumplings are made by wrapping fruit,
frequently a whole tart apple, in pastry, then baking until the pastry is browned and the filling is tender. As an
alternative to simply baking them, these dumplings are surrounded by a sweet sauce in the baking dish, and
may be basted during cooking. Popular flavours for apple dumplings include brown sugar, caramel,
or cinnamon sauces.

Boiled dumplings are made from flour to form a dough. A pot of boiling chicken or turkey broth is used to cook
this dough. The thickness and the size of the dumplings is at the cook's discretion. The size does not affect the
taste but the thickness does. It is optional to serve with the meat in the dish or on the side.

Making dumplings

Dumplings can be made with eggs, milk, baking powder or even yeast, or just from flour and water. Rolled
dumplings are rolled thin and cut into small pieces for cooking, while dropped dumplings are formed into small
balls.

Tortilla dumplings are made by adding tortillas and fillings to a boiling pot of stock. Popular varieties of
Southern dumplings include chicken dumplings, turkey dumplings, strawberry dumplings, apple dumplings,
ham dumplings, and even butter-bean dumplings.

In the Allegheny Mountains of central Pennsylvania, pot pie is rolled dough made from flour and broth (usually
ham), cut into squares, and boiled with the meat in the broth, usually with potatoes.

Central and South American cuisine[edit]


General[edit]
In addition, considering stuffed dumplings throughout Latin America, there are empanadas, whose stuffing,
manufacture and types are numerous and varied. Empanadas differ from traditional dumplings in that they are
deep fried and excess dough is not cut off.

Caribbean cuisine[edit]
Dumplings are either pan fried using a simple recipe including all-purpose flour, water, and salt made into a
thick dough before frying on a pan until golden brown, or boiled in a soup. The fried version is usually served
with breakfast codfish as a side. In Barbados, dumplings boiled into soup can contain sugar, differentiating
them from other country's varieties.

Jamaican cuisine[edit]
Dumplings come in three forms in Jamaica, fried, boiled, and roasted. All are made with flour, white or wheat,
and the white-floured dumplings are often mixed with a bit of cornmeal. These foods are often served with a
variety of dishes like ackee and saltfish, kidneys, liver salt mackerel, etc. and often taste better when refried. A
refried dumpling is an already boiled left over from previous cooking it is fried, which gives it a slightly crispy
outer layer and a tender middle. A purely fried white flour dumpling is golden brown and looks a lot like bammy,
often substituting the boiled dumpling, but it is mostly consumed as part of breakfast.

Brazilian cuisine[edit]
In Brazil, there are pastels, coxinhas, and bolinhas de carne which are fried dumplings filled with chicken, pork
or beef mixed with olives, onions and spices. It is common to eat these on the beach or after work with fruit
smoothies, beer, or fruity alcoholic drinks known as batidas.

Chilean cuisine[edit]
In Chile, there are pantrucas, a type of flat, elongated irregular dumplings flavoured with fresh parsley and
served in soup.

Peruvian cuisine[edit]
"Papas Rellenas" or stuffed potatoes consist of a handful of mashed potatoes (without the milk and butter)
flattened in the palm of the hand and stuffed with a savoury combination of ingredients. The stuffing usually
consists of sauted meat (could be beef, pork or chicken), onions and garlic. They are all seasoned with cumin,
aji, raisins, peanuts, olives and sliced or chopped hard boiled eggs. After stuffing a ball is formed, rolled over
flour and deep fried in hot oil. The stuffed potatoes are usually accompanied by onion sauce consisting of
sliced onions, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and slices of fresh peppers. The same dish may also be made
with seafood. In some countries, yuca pure is used as the starch component of these Latin American
dumplings.

Puerto Rican cuisine[edit]


In Puerto Rico, dumplings are made of grated tubers such as yuca and malanga with addedcalabaza, unripe
bananas and plantains mixed with flour. This dumplings are a traditional part in Puerto Rican style pigeon
pea soup. Olive oil and annatto are usually added and help the mix from turning brown. The dumplings are
formed into small balls and are first cooked in olive oil before boiling. Once the dumplings are crispy on the
outside, they are then boiled with added ingredients. Another dumpling that originated in Puerto Rico is
the pasteles, a dumpling made of grated root vegetables, squash, plantains, and unripe bananas. The masa is
then mixed with milk and annatto oil, and they are stuffed with stewed pork, chick peas, olives, capers and
raisins. They are then placed on a banana leaf, tied and then boiled. The origin of pasteles leads back to
Natives on the island of Borikn. Pasteles are popular in the Dominican Republic, Hawaii, Trinidad and lately
seen in Cuban cuisine.

Asian cuisine[edit]

Steamed dumplings are found throughout the region.[11]

Chinese cuisine[edit]

A common legend goes that dumplings were first invented in the era of the Three Kingdoms, around 225
AD. Zhuge Liang, a general and minister of Shu Han, dammed up a poison marsh on his southern campaign
against the Nanman with dumplings instead of the heads that the Nanman used.

The jiaozi (/) is a common Chinese dumpling which generally consists of minced meat and finely

chopped vegetables wrapped into a piece of dough skin. The skin can be either thin and elastic or thicker.
Popular meat fillings include ground pork, ground beef, ground chicken, shrimp, and even fish. Popular
mixtures include pork with Chinese cabbage, pork with garlic chives, pork and shrimp with vegetables, pork
with spring onion, garlic chives with scrambled eggs. Filling mixtures vary depending on personal tastes and
region. Jiaozi are usually boiled or steamed and continues to be a traditional dish eaten on Chinese New
Year's Eve, the evening before Chinese New Year, and special family reunions. Extended family members may
gather together to make dumplings, and it is also eaten for farewell to family members or friends. In Northern
China, dumplings are commonly eaten with a dipping sauce made of vinegar and chilli oil or paste, and
occasionally with some soy sauce added in.

If dumplings are laid flatly on a pan, first steamed with a lid on and with a thin layer of water, then fried in oil
after the water has been evaporated, they are called guotie(, sometimes called "potstickers"), as

the Maillard reaction occurring on the bottom of the dumplings makes the skin crispy and brown. The same
dumplings are called jiaozi if they are just steamed.

The wonton (/) is another kind of dumpling. It is typically boiled in a light broth or soup and made with

a meatier filling. The skin wrapping for wontons is differentthinner and less elasticthan that used for
jiaozi[citation needed]. Wontons are more popular in Southern China (Shanghai, Guangdong, Hong Kong etc.)
whereas in Northern China, jiaozi are more popular. Jiaozi, wonton and potstickers are all wrapped differently.

Another type of Chinese dumpling is made with glutinous rice. Usually, the glutinous rice
dumplings zongzi are triangle or cone shaped, can be filled with red bean paste, Chinese dates or cured

meat depending on region. Glutinous rice dumplings are traditionally eaten during the Duanwu Festival. Other
types of dumplings would be soup dumplings, commonly referred to as " xiaolongbao.

Chinese cuisine includes sweet dumplings. Tangyuan are smaller dumplings made with glutinous rice flour and
filled with sweet sesame, peanut, red bean paste. Tangyuan may also be served without a filling. Tangyuan are
eaten on the 15th day of Chinese New Year, or the Lantern Festival. There are also other kinds of dumplings
such as harkao, siewmai, small cage-steamed bun(xiaolongbao), pork bun and crystal dumpling.

See also: dim sum for descriptions of several other kinds of dumplings such as gau and taro root

dumplings.

Nepali cuisine[edit]
In Nepal, steamed dumplings known as momo (or momo-cha) is a popular snack which is often eaten as meal
as well. It is similar to the Chinese jiaozi or the Central Asian manti. The dish is native to Tibet and was brought
to Nepal by the Newar traders of Kathmandu who were trading goods in Tibet before 1930's. Nepalese momo
is different from Tibet momo. Many different fillings, both meat-based and vegetarian are common.
Currently Kathmandu Valley is a popular destination for momo, as it is one of the most desired fast food there.
Along with time Kathmandu has developed its own essence for this food.

There are different varieties of momos, such as fried and steamed momo. Momo are usually served with a
dipping sauce normally consisting of tomatoes as the base ingredient, from which numerous variations can be
made. Momo soup is a dish that has steamed momo immersed in a meat broth. Momo that are pan fried after
steaming first are known as kotheymomo in Nepal. Momo can also be prepared by directly deep frying without
steaming first. Steamed momo served in hot sauce is called C-Momo in Nepal. These are some of the most
common items served in Nepalese restaurants.

Indian cuisine[edit]
Subcontinental cuisine features several dishes which could be characterised as dumplings:

"Gujhia" (Hindi) is a sweet dumpling made with wheat flour, stuffed with khoya.

"Fara" (Hindi) is also famous in North India which is very similar to dumplings. It is made of wheat flour with
stuffing of lentils and similar delicacy.
"Karanji" (Marathi, Oriya) or "Kajjikayi" (Kannada, Telugu) or Kanoli are fried sweet dumplings made of
wheat flour and stuffed with dry or moist coconut delicacies. They are a popular dish among
the Maharastrians, Oriyas and the South Indians.

"Pitha" (Bihari, Oriya, Bengali, Assamese) are stuffed savouries either made by steam or deep frying.A
wide range of pithas are available in eastern and north eastern India

Another dumpling popular in Western India and South India is the "Modak"(Marathi) or
"Modhaka"(Kannada) or "Modagam" (Tamil) or Sugiyan (Malayalam), where the filling is made of fresh
coconut and jaggery or sugar while the covering is steamed rice dough. It is eaten hot with ghee.

"Kozhakkattai" (Tamil) or "Kadabu" (Kannada), is another South Indian dish that can be sweet, salty or
spicy. The outer shell is always steamed sticky rice dough. In the sweet version, a form of sweet filling
made with coconuts, boiled lentils and jaggery is used, whereas in the salty version, a mixture of steamed
cracked lentils, chillies and some mild spices is used.

"Ada" (Malayalam) is another South Indian dish from Kerala that is sweet. Scrapped coconut mixed with
sugar or jaggery is enveloped between the spread rice-dough and steamed. Sweet version of
"Kozhakkattai" is equally famous in Kerala.

"Pidi" (Malayalam) is another South Indian dish from Kerala that is usually eaten with chicken curry.

"Samosa" is another popular savoury snack eaten in the Indian Subcontinent and Iranian Plateau. It is a
fried dumpling usually stuffed with mince, vegetables (mainly potatoes) and various other spices.
Vegetarian variants of "samosas", without the added mince stuffing, are also popular and are sold at most
eateries or roadside stalls throughout the country.
Indonesian cuisine[edit]

Bruschetta (Italian pronunciation: [brusketta] ( listen)) is an antipasto from Italy whose origin dates to at least the
15th century. It consists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil, salt and pepper. Variations
may include toppings of tomato, vegetables, beans, cured meat, or cheese; the most popular recipe outside of
Italy involves basil, fresh tomato,garlic and onion or mozzarella. Bruschetta is usually served as a snack
or appetizer. In some countries, a topping of chopped tomato, olive oil and herbs is sold as bruschetta.[1]
In Italy, bruschetta is often prepared using abrustolina grill. In the Abruzzo region of Italy a variation of
bruschetta made with a salami calledventricina is served. Raw pork products and spices encased in pig
bladder are aged and the paste spread on open slices of bread which are sometimes grilled.[2] This was a way
of salvaging bread that was going stale.[3] In Tuscany it is called fettunta and it is usually served without
toppings, especially in November, to taste the very first oil of the season.[4]

Alternative name(s) Kilted sausages

Type Hot dog

Pigs in blankets (also known as kilted sausagesin Scotland) refers to a variety of different sausage-based
foods in the United States, United Kingdom,Denmark, Australia, Ireland, Germany, Belgium,Russia, Canada,
and Japan. They are typically small in size and can be eaten in one or two bites. For this reason, they are
usually served as an appetizer or hors d'oeuvre or are accompanied by other dishes in the 'main course'
section of a meal. In the West, especially in the United States and Canada, the bite sized variety of pigs in a
blanket is a common hors d'oeuvre served at cocktail parties and is often accompanied by a mustard
oraioli dipping sauce.

Pigs in a blanket are usually different fromsausage rolls, which are a larger, more filling item served for
breakfast and lunch in parts of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and, more rarely, the United States and
Canada.

United States[edit]

In the United States, the term "pigs in a blanket" often refers to hot dogs, Vienna sausages, cocktail or
breakfast/link sausages wrapped in biscuit dough, pancake, or croissant dough, and baked. The dough is
sometimes homemade, but canned dough is most common. They are somewhat similar to a sausage roll or (by
extension) a baked corn dog. They are served as an appetizer, a children's dish, or as a breakfast entree. A
common variation is to stuff the hot dog or sausage with cheese before wrapping it in dough.

At breakfast or brunch, the term "pigs in a blanket" refers to sausage links with pancake wrapped around it.

In regions heavily influenced by Slovak immigrants, such as northern Pennsylvania, the southern tier of New
York, and northeastern Ohio, the term usually refers instead to stuffed cabbage rolls, such as the Polish or
Ukrainian gobki.

In much of central and southeast Texas (including Austin and Houston) the term "kolache" has been widely
misappropriated to describe a variety of dough-wrapped breakfast goods, including sausages of several types
wrapped in both biscuit and croissant dough.[citation needed] It would seem that the term "klobasnek" is more
technically correct for this variety; perhaps[tone] "kolache" was deemed easier to pronounce and was therefore
seized upon by local merchants. They can be found in virtually every doughnut shop, and at least one
"kolache-themed" chain is currently in operation.

The American Farm Bureau Foundation's Dates to Celebrate Agriculture calendar includes a "National Pigs-in-
a-Blanket Day" to be observed every April 24.[1]

United Kingdom[edit]
Christmas Dinner in the UK - pigs in blankets at top right of plate

In the United Kingdom, "pigs in blankets" refers to small sausages (usually Chipolatas) wrapped in bacon. They
are a traditional accompaniment to roast turkeyfor Christmas dinner. They are also known as Tiger tails in
The Westcountry. Pigs in blankets can be accompanied with devils on horseback, an appetizer of prunes, or
less commonly dates, wrapped in bacon.

Elsewhere[edit]

The name can also refer to klobasnek (a kind ofkolache filled with sausage or ham slices). The
GermanWrstchenimSchlafrock ("sausage in a dressing gown") uses sausages wrapped in puff pastry[2] or,
more rarely, pancakes. Cheese and bacon are sometimes present.

In Russia, this dish is named (Sosiska v teste, "sausage in dough").

In Israel, Moshe Ba'Teiva (Moses in the ark) is a children's dish consisting of a hot dog rolled in a ketchup-
covered sheet of puff pastry or phyllo dough and baked.

In Denmark, they have a dish similar to the British-style dish known as the "Plse i svb" which means
"Sausage in blanket". The American-style Pigs in a blanket are known as "Plsehorn", meaning "Sausage
horns".

In Finland, pigs in blanket is known as "nakkipiilo", which means "hidden sausage" if it is translated freely.

In Mexico, the sausage is wrapped in tortilla and deep fried in vegetable oil. The name "salchitaco" comes from
the fusion of the words "salchicha"(sausage) and taco (sausage taco).

Mainingredient(s) Bread, beef tongue, scrambled eggs, onions

Tongue toast is an open sandwich prepared withsauteed beef tongue and scrambled eggs.[1][2] It is seasoned
to taste with black pepper and onions. Sometimes the tongue is served on buttered toast instead, with
a poached egg instead of a scrambled one.[3] While it is primarily prepared as a dish for breakfast, it is often
eaten for lunch anddinner.[4]

A variant served as breakfast involves the use of boiled, smoked beef tongue, cream, scrambled egg, and
seasoned to taste with nutmeg, pepper, chopped parsley, and chopped green peppers.[5] A recent variant
involves the use of reindeertongue.[6]

When it is prepared as an hors d'oeuvre, it is prepared in a similar fashion as French toast, with the star-

Origin

Place of origin Greece


Details

Type Savoury pie (brek)

Mainingredient(s) Phyllo, spinach (or leeks, chard,

orsorrel), feta or ricotta, onions orscallions, eggs

Spanakopita (/spnkpt/; Modern Greek: , from , spanki, spinach, and


, pta, pie) or spinach pie is a Greeksavory pastry.

It is in the burek family of pastries with a filling of chopped spinach, feta cheese, onions or scallions,egg, and
seasoning.[1] The filling is wrapped or layered in phyllo (filo) pastry with butter and/orolive oil, either in a large
pan from which individual servings are cut, or rolled into individual triangular servings (see burek). While the
filo-dough recipe is most common, many recipes from the Greek islands call for a crust made of flour and water
to form a crunchier, calzone-like exterior in place of the flaky filo dough. The pastry is golden in color when
baked, the color often enhanced by butter and egg yolk. Other white, fresh, preferably salted cheeses may also
be mixed with, or substituted for, the feta cheese.

It is mostly eaten as a snack in Greece, and it can be an alternative to tyropita. There is a "fasting", or vegan,
version of spanakopita, eaten during the Great Lent and other religious fasts, and composed of spinach, onions
or green onions, other green herbs like dill, parsley or celery,olive oil and a little wheat flour, but
without eggs or dairy products; the mixture is oven-baked until crisp. Non-traditional vegan versions are
available that typically use tofu instead of cheese.

In rural Greece, smaller amounts of spinach are used, with the missing part substituted with leeks,chard,
and sorrel.

The pastry is similar to tortapasqualina, a traditional dish from Italy's Liguria region, that is very common
in Argentina and Uruguay.

It can also be made with puff pastry.

TOP 10 KITCHEN TOOLS USED IN LMLD KITCHENS


October 28, 2013 by Aimee Berrett in kitchen gadgets

With how much we cook and bake in our kitchens, we use a lot of different kitchen supplies daily. In fact, I
have shelves in my garage (as it connects to our kitchen) filled with so many different kitchen gadgets and
tools it looks like the shelf of a Bed Bath and Beyond store)

But, some of our kitchen tools get a lot more use than others. And some sit on my shelf for most the year
and only get used once or twice for special occasions.

Here is a list of our top 10 kitchen gadgets. The gadgets that get the most use in one or both of the LMLD
kitchens.
What is your most used kitchen tool?

1. Kitchen Aid 5 Quart Mixer. I use this thing at least once a week, maybe more. It works great for cookies,
cakes, muffins and other baked goods. But I also use it for shredding chicken. And Ive got a few
wonderful attachments that we often use, especially the shredder/slicer attachment which works great for
shredding cheese, make hashed browns, cutting vegetables for ratatouille and more!

2. Pyrex. Lets be honest with only 2 people in both Mother and Daughter households we often end up with
leftovers. Pyrex are my favorite containers for keeping food fresh and tasting its best when reheated. They
are fridge, freezer, oven, microwave and dishwasher safe which makes easy storage, easy reheating and
easy washing.
3. Digital Meat Thermometer. We eat a lot of meat in our households, especially chicken, and the best way
to make sure our chicken is fully cooked is using our meat thermometer. Chicken usually needs to be
cooked to 165 to fully get rid of all the bacteria, and if you use a digital meat thermometer you can make
sure your chicken is fully cooked and safe, but also not overcooked and dry.
4. Magic Bullet. Magic Bullets are the perfect blender. They arent bulky and taking up space on your
counter top and they make just the right amount for an individual smoothie, or small amounts of soup,
sauce, etc. We actually love using ours to whip up eggs for scrambled eggs, it makes them so frothy and
delicious!
5. Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons. Any measuring cups or spoons work great. Especially with
baking, measuring out your ingredients is the best way to get precise and delicious results with the best
texture and taste. I also have thesemagnetic measuring spoons which are great because they stick together
in your drawer and you dont have to fumble around for them, and I also like having two sets because I
often use 1 and need another for a different ingredient that I dont want to mix together.
6. Non Stick Pans. Non stick pans are lifesavers, life savers I tell ya. Weve also got a nice set of stainless
steal pans that looked really pretty when we got them as a wedding gift and can be put in our oven, but
now they arent so pretty and theyve got black stuff stuck to the bottoms. But these non stick
pans?Perfection. They are so great for cooking up sauces, eggs, pancakes (when Im just cooking for me),
browning meat and more and then once youre done cooking with them they clean up so easy because
nothing sticks. Its amazing!

7. Ikea Cheese Grater. This cheese grater is great with two different sized grating holes depending on what
kind of cheese you are grating or what you are grating your cheese for. But the best thing is you pop the lid
on to the top of the grater and your cheese goes right into the container making it ready to serve at your
table or even a great way to store that little bit of extra grated cheese.
8. Silver Mixing Bowls. Having multiple sizes of silver mixing bowls is so helpful for cooking and baking
(because sometimes you need wet ingredients and dry ingredients in separate bowls) . These bowls are
great for mixing together ingredients and can also be used for serving things like mashed potatoes or
salad.
9. Breakfast Sandwich Maker. Did you guys know that you can totally make your own egg mcmuffins
from home? This breakfast sandwich maker is awesome. Nate and I have made sandwiches with full eggs,
egg whites, with bread, bagels, pancakes and english muffins as the crust, with or without cheese, and
with ham or bacon inside too. We love making up these sandwiches for a lazy (but easy and quick)
breakfast and we often end up making them for dinner or late night snacks too!
10. Crockpot. We both use our crock pots often, its such a great time saver and its so nice to come home to
a fresh cooked meal. Aimee recently got a new programmable crock pot which is awesome because she
can set it to cook till the food inside is a certain temperature, or for certain lengths of time on high and
then switch to low. It makes crock pot cooking even more convenient. Ellen still has her first crockpot that
she got when she was married, can you believe it?

Polska kielbasa i wedliny Polish sausages and charcuterie

Polish: kiebasa, wdliny

Kielbasa is very well-known product from Central and Easter Europe. In general
kielbasa is made from the pork and some special compositions of spices. Many
kinds of the sausages exist - both in terms of composition, the appearance, as
well as the way of processing. E.g. smoked and dried sausages are very popular
in Poland and considered exclusive. The easy way to recognize good quality
sausage is by the amount of meat used for the production (about what
producers are supposed to inform on the package).

Poles also love their cold cut, of which selection in Polish butcher's shops is
enormous ('sklepmiesny' what means 'meat shop'). Cold cut constitute one of
the basic everyday appetizers. It is consumed with bread, as sandwiches, when
one wants to eat something fast, easy and ordinary.

Ogorkikiszone Polish-style pickled cucumber

Polish: ogrkikiszone

Ogorkikiszone - Polish dill pickle - it is one of the great things in Polish cuisine
(in my humble opinion). The name 'ogorkikiszone' is usually translated into
English as 'dill pickles', but you can also call them 'sour cucumbers', since a
strong, sour taste is characteristic of them. It is sad, but You can't buy real,
high quality Polish dill pickles in groceries, neither in US or UK, nor in Poland.
The majority of shop cucumbers is simply not tasty and in order to experience
the real taste, one should go to Poland and try those dill pickles, which are
home-made. And such home-made dill pickles are made of soil-grown
cucumbers which are put into jars. Baldachins of the dill, roots of the
horseradish and some cloves of garlic are then added. Other spices sometimes
used are: bay leaves, grains of mustard and pepper, as well as leaves of the
cherry, currant, grapes or the oak. We pour water over the integrity, salt and
put back on a few weeks.

Poles use dill pickles as an appetizers with many dishes. Polish dill pickles
constitute a basic ingredient of cucumber soup and may be used as the addition
to potatoes, sandwiches or as an element of salads. Sometimes they are used
as the appetizer to vodka and the herring served in oil and onion.

Polish: ledzie

In Poland, just like in all countries of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea basins,
herring is specially worshiped. This little sea fish is being prepared as a cold
appetizer. From delicious herrings in vinegary marinades, by herring in oil and
onion, to sweet herrings - the amount of varieties and tastes is really large; all
they have their names and enjoy the great popularity on Polish tables.

Kalafior / bob / fasolkaszparagowa Boiled cauliflower / string &


broad bean

Polish: like above

Many Poles loves cooked cauliflower ('kalafior'), string bean


('fasolkaszparagowa') and broad bean ('bob'). During Summer time all of those
is quite common in Polish homes. Broccoli is not so typical for Polish cuisine but
constantly gains popularity. Usually Poles eat string bean or cauliflower alone -
poured only with the roux made of breadcrumbs. However, sometimes it is used
as the addition to meat dishes.
Twarog, oscypek i bryndza Curd cheese, oscypek and bryndza

Polish: twarog, oscypek, bryndza

Curd cheese ('twarog' in original) enjoys great popularity in Poland and is called
'white cheese' most oftentimes. Poles eat curd cheese with spices, as well as
sweet. It is made of the cow's milk. Bryndza - the sheep's milk cheese is
similar, but softer.

Oscypek are tough smoked cheeses made of the sheep's milk, characteristic of
Polish mountains (particularly Tatra Mountains and Podhale Region). It is
produced in the original form of small, spindle-like blocks with typical regional
decorating pattern. Oscypek is one of tourist attractions of Polish mountains.
You can eat it as cold or hot (grilled and served with the cranberry). Fresh
oscypek is peculiarly tasty. One can buy it early in the morning, right after the
production, in shepherd's huts, which you would come across in mountain
valleys.

Twarozek

Polish: twaroek

Twarozek is made of white cheese (curd cheese) mixed with chives, radish,
cream and spices ('spicy twarozek') or with sugar, fruits and/or jam ('sweet
twarozek'). In Poland this is popular for breakfast, for making sandwiches.

Photo on the left shows one of my favorite 'spring breakfasts' - twarozek with
chives, dill, pepper and a pinch of ginger. I eat it with thin, dry, smoked, Polish
sausage called 'kabanos' (it has pepperoni look but in my humble opinion tastes
much better). On the right you can see sweet twarozek simply made by mixing
curd cheese with a bit of milk and sugar. Served as sandwiches covered with
jam. All of that is of course extremely simple to make.

well as other countries in Central and Eastern Europe. Sauerkraut is made of
shredded cabbage, which after salting is subjected to the fermentation,
resulting in a peculiar sour taste. It is possible to eat the sauerkraut 'in raw'.

Poland (in general) it is most often used as the ingredient of dishes - like bigos,
croquettes or mushroom-cabbage pierogies.

Sosygrzybowe Mushroom sauces

Polish mushroom sauces are brown and dense. They are characterized by a very
intense, mushroom taste. Sauces are made from mushrooms of many kinds. As
a result you have sauces about different tastes and applications. A chanterelle
mushroom sauce is an example of particularly a noble one, while a white
mushroom sauce is an ordinary, cheap and far more common. Mushroom
sauces are eaten with pastas, bread, or being applied as an ennobling addition
to meat and fish dishes.

In the fall period, when the time of mushroom hunting comes, both mushroom
sauces as soups are being made from fresh, wild mushrooms. In remaining
seasons dried mushrooms are being used. Many families dry mushrooms on
their own account. Dried mushrooms are also available in large Polish groceries
and supermarkets, but their price is very high (about 50$ per lb).

Fats in Polish food: butter & lard

Old Polish cuisine was full of valuable home-made butter. Nowadays shop
margarines enjoy greater popularity in case of spreading bread, but a position
of butter, for frying or as an ingredient of some dishes, is not endangered.
Traditional Polish cuisine also uses a lard and pork scratching, as well as
vegetable oils. In past linen and poppy oils vere common. Today both of them
are replaced by rapeseed oil and sunflower one. Since the linseed oil quickly
goes rancid it is/was only used for preparing cold sauces. When recipe require
high temperature, like during frying and baking butter or rapeseed oil is used.

Pork scratching is used as spicy addition to dishes. A lard, once very popular, is
eaten willingly with bread. Although such a plain snack is very spicy, bread with
lard is not so popular at Polish homes today because of health issues. There is a
Polish expression 'bread with lard'. It means living in poverty. When Pole says
'you will be eating bread with a lard' it means 'you will be so poor and unable to
stand for any neat or lavish food'.
