Just came across the most beautiful food and cooking related collection on G+ by my friend Jon Hole

It's about knowledge of ingredients and cooking techniques - stuff that works magic behind food and brings recipes to life .

I felt I was reading a really wonderful and well researched book on the topic. If you are a true blue foodie, you need to follow this collection !

Za’atar Palestinian thyme A traditional spice blend from Palestine including wild-harvested dried thyme (za’atar) from the hills of Jenin in the north of the West Bank mixed with toasted Sesame seeds and Sumac (a spice with a tangy, lemony flavour).
It’s an everyday staple in much of the Middle East, where it’s pasted onto bread dough and baked, drizzled over salads, sprinkled into hummus, rubbed into chicken or fish, eaten with yoghurt…and so on!
Perfect as a dip with Palestinian olive oil and freshly baked bread.

“My goal, if I was going to do art, fine art, would have been to become Picasso or greater. That always sounds so funny to people, comparing yourself to someone in the past that has done so much, and in your life, you’re not even allowed to think that you can do as much. That’s a mentality that suppresses humanity.”

Korean Pickled Cucumber If people are eating pickles for many generations, where did that come from?

Korean Pickled Cucumber If people are eating pickles for many generations, where did that come from? It’s central to a culture, to a history, to a personal story. It’s communication at it’s most fundamental

What to do with Cucumbers thank you maria nasir
*" Pickle making or preserving food by expanding its lifespan through fermentation is an art that has been around for thousands of years. Pickles are considered to be one of Cleopatra’s beauty secrets and were mentioned in Shakespeare’s writings. They made a handy food for shepherds, sailors and travellers. There is no culinary culture that doesn’t have a proud pickling history. Pickles can be sweet, salty, sour and hot or, in the case of Korean Pickled Cucumber, all of the above* maria nasir

Eat all Vegans.

Eat all Vegans.... "The least harmful foods to eat come from perennial plants, and the animals that eat those perennial plants."
"The synergy of cows and grass can hardly be bested as an ideal system"

"That is why, in truth, a pound of grass-fed beef accounts for less suffering per capita than a pound of corn"

Veganism "is a laudable idea, but for some, it provides a framework for moral superiority"
"Cultivating a saviour complex is a natural result of following any ideological cause, and life is then seen through a framework that excludes anything that doesn’t fit into that ideology."
And the reality is that we all consume life energy, endlessly, in order to live our lives.
