9 Things you Must Eat in Budapest, Hungary Food, People, Places 2019-07-03 | Last summer we had the chance to experience the Sziget Festival in Budapest and to combine it with the amazing food culture of the capital of Hungary! Typical of Central Europe, its staples are based on bell peppers, paprika and smoked sausage, without forgetting sour cream and cheese… From street food staples such as the fried Langosz covered with cheesy potatoes or the famous cylindrical cake, to fancy restaurants dating back to the Magyar Empire as well as amazing markets ready to enchant your palate, Budapest is definitely worth a food travel! And you are lucky, there are still spots to visit the Sziget Festival this year from the 7th to the 13th of August :)Here are our top 9 of what you should try in BudapestTarhonya : this typical egg-based pasta is fried in butter or lard before being boiled, and is usually served with meat or vegetable stews, fried sausages or in salads. Lecsó is a Hungarian speciality also found in Czech Republic, Slovak, Poland or Croatia. This vegetable stew made of hungarian wax pepper and tomatoes as well as onions, and of course paprika powder is thick, sweet, and simply a vegetarian’s dream. It can be served alone with bread, or with chicken cutlets. Goulyas is probably the national dish of Hungary. This medieval meat and vegetables stew is seasoned with paprika and other spices such as caraway seed, cayenne or bay leaves. It can be made from lamb, beef, pork or veal and can be either served as a soup or as a stew, and dressed with lemon juice, red wine or sour cream! Palinka is a traditional fruit brandy originating from the Transylvania Region and mainly made out of plums, apricots, apples, pears and cherries. Protected by a European Geographical indication, it can only be produced in Hungary and in four provinces of Austria. Kolbasz designs different kinds of sausages, that come from every region of the country with their own special recipes and tastes. Kolbasz may be boiled, dried or smoked, they can be eaten as cold cuts or served in main dishes with stews and salads. These sausages typically contain bacon, ground pork, beef, lamb, paprika (surprise!) garlic, pepper, nutmeg and a huge variety of local spices. They can also be eaten directly at butcher shops, with mustard and sauerkraut. Kürtőskalács is hollow, cylinder shaped pastry made from a sweet yeast dough roasted over charcoal. Coated with castor sugar, cinnamon or walnut, this caramelised spit cake is usually sold on festivals and outdoor events. Fröccs is a sort of Spritzer, a mixed drink made out of white wine and carbonated water, popular in Germany, Austria and Hungary. Fröccs exist in multiple variations in Hungary with different proportions of wine and water. Lepeny: is a sort of thick pancake garnished with sour cream, bacon and cheese. In the Sziget Festival it was grilled with a hot iron. Lángos : Can’t say no to fried dough! Langos is flat bread made with flour, yeast, water and salt. You’ll frequently see it topped with mashed potatoes, sour cream yogurt, grated cheese, ham or sausages, but also with sugar or jam. So, when are you going?

The Absinthe Story: How the green fairy was hidden for 100 years Food, People, Places 2018-11-15 | Still heavily controlled all over the world, Absinthe is a drink with many myths and many secrets. But why is Absinthe so seductive? Apart from its amazing taste, some of the key answers lie in its mystery. Did Van Gogh really cut its ear after drinking too much of it? Is it that hallucinogenic to a point that it becomes dangerous? And if not, why was it constitutionally forbidden for a century in the same place where it was born - in a small region of Switzerland, in Val-de-Travers, Jura? And to pursue the investigation, what exactly makes Absinthe so special that people of this region were ready to go underground to carry on with the distillation of this mythical drink? You’ll discover it all in this video! We want to address special thanks to Nicolas Giger, the President of Association “Pays de l’Absinthe” who nowadays still leads some tours on “Road of Absinthe”, a path that travels through Switzerland and France, following the historical and mythical places of the Green Fairy. Special thanks as well to Philippe Martin, who graciously opened us the doors of its distillery and shared some of the secrets of the Absinthe making. To finish, we could’nt have done this video without the support of the region Jura & 3 Lakes, who financially and humanly supported us! Merci à vous aussi Director: Rusch MeyerAuthor: Leila BoutaamDoP. Robert StafflEditor: Dennis GnoniSubtitle Proofreading: Beulah Kirupa "

10 Foods You Must Try in the Swiss Mountains Food, People, Places 2018-10-11 | Between Cheeses, Dried Meats, Fresh Fishes or Wild Plants, without forgetting lots of different drinks, the beautiful landscapes of Switzerland offer a lot of palatable experiences. We have been invited by the Region Jura & Three Lakes to discover some of its best products and we totally fell for them! And not only because we had Absinthe just before :) Here are our top 10 : 1. Lake Fishes, among which trouts, pikes or perchs2. Absinthe, because in case you didn't know the Green Fairy was born in the core of Jura, between Switzerland and France. 3. Tête de Moine, the famous Rose Cheese is made in a few farms in this part of West Switzerland4. Damassine, a really flavorful (and strong) Prune Alcohol whose fruit is said to have been originally imported from Damas, Syria.

I can now definitely say the best oregano ever was not grown! 6. Cheese fondue, but also raclette, mountain cheeses, croûte and a lot of other cheese speciality. Shall we remind you what Swiss is known for? 7. Rösti! Not especially a regional specialty, but this potato dish is definitely to try in the country and a must-have during the Swiss national day. 8. Toétché, a traditional cottage cheese savoury cake whose flavour and texture are really unique9. Chasselas, a wine grape typical from the region that produces a crisp and fresh white wine, that surprisingly goes really well with cheese :) 10. Saucisson de Neuchatel is a smoked and hearty sausage from the city of Neuchatel, here cooked in red wine. From the region of course.

7 Ramadan Eats from all over the World Food, People, Places 2018-05-16 | How do Muslim people break the Ramadan fast all over the world?

The Weirdest Food Ive ever Eaten Food, People, Places 2018-05-09 | What is the weirdest food you've ever eaten? Our Berlin panel tries to answer this question. What about you?Between insects, frogs or panna cotta, everyone has its own taste, disgust or habit. "Weird" also doesn't necessarily mean bad: will you find snails surprisingly tasty? Does an oyster looks repellent? Is the texture of jelly weird?Your call!
You are what You Eat - What are You? Food, People, Places 2018-05-02 | You are what you eat, they say. Coming from French Gastronome Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in 1826 or Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach in 1863, this sentence is of course not to take literally. The idea behind it is that the food that one eats has not only a dietary effect on our body and mind, but also a symbolic consequence. People eating meat generally have the impression to get more power out of the animal they eat. Eating a delicate zucchini flower, a generous cheese, or a heavy wine also give you another impression of what you are at that time. So if you had to sum up who you are by the kind of food you eat the most or the way you eat, what would you be?
3 Foods to Bring on a Lonely Island Food, People, Places 2018-04-25 | What 3 foods would you bring on a lonely island? What foods would you never get bored from, which one would feed you, which one can you eat absolutely everyday?Being a pratical food, an emotional one, a delicious or an healthy one, we asked random people in Berlin to answer this question. Here are their answers!
What would be your last supper? Food, People, Places 2018-04-18 | You can have whatever you want, with no limits of quantity, season or price: before dying, what would you like to eat? Let us know in the comments!Is there a harder question than our last taste? Our last palatable pleasure? We often talk about the last images that come to your mind when you’re about to die, your life that is rewinded, the souvenirs that suddenly emerge… What are the foods though that would have marked your life? A question that numerous death row prisoners had to answer - with of course, in this case, limitations. Countries have various traditions in this regard. A little glass of rum but no last meal was granted to the condemned in France. In Florida nowadays, the last meal must not exceed 40$. In Louisiana, it is usually lobster and the dinner can be shared with a prison guard or another prisoner. In 2011, Texan prisoner Lawrence Russell Brewer requested two chicken-fried steaks with gravy and sliced onions, a triple-patty bacon cheeseburger, a cheese omelet with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, a bowl of fried okra with ketchup, a pound of barbecue meat with half of a loaf of white bread, a portion of three fajitas, a meat-lover’s pizza, a pint of Blue Bell ice cream, a slab of peanut-butter fudge with crushed peanuts, and three root beers. He ate none of it, claiming he was not hungry. Texas abolished the last meal. But as hard as the question sounds, people usually get an idea quite quick of what they would like to have last on this earth: being a souvenir of a happy moment, the food that our parents prepared us as kids or when we were sick, they are highly emotional. More rarely comes this answer of something you’ve never tried because it was too expensive or just because you never had time in your life: who would take the risk to die after a food disappointment? What would YOU eat at your last meal? Would you have the full starter to dessert? What would you drink and would you share it?
Beauty Of Bacon - 8 Epic Bacon Creations Food, People, Places 2018-04-11 | We could have written an opera, composed a poem, we did Beauty of Bacon. Enjoyed the video? Let us know: Like, subscribe, comment! All the recipes will be posted on our blog : http://foodpeopleplaces.comRoses are red. Bacon is red. Poems are hard. Bacon. What more is there to say? Among the addictives and mouth drooling food of this world, bacon is probably on the top. And there is actually a reason for it: while cooking, it breaks into 3 major flavorful compounds that speak directly to our brain.Many countries have developped their own version of bacon: being from the back (rasher, UK style), from the belly (American Bacon, Pancetta) or even from the cheek (Italian Guanciale) the meat is generally cured and sometimes smoked. It pairs with perfection with other meats (what’s better than Bacon Burger?), but also with fish and suprisingly with sweets: it’s saltiness, crunchiness and umaminess is just irresistible. In this video we decided to show you some of the best and suprising combinations to try out, but the list is honestly endless : - Bucatini all’amatriciana is an dish from the region Lazio, around Roma, that pairs crispy guanciale with chilis and tomato sauce. The cheese is for sure a Pecorino Romano - BLT Sandwich: what’s more classic than this sandwich? Though, a good BLT is not so easy to obtain. You need high quality ripe tomatoes that taste something else than water, crunchy salad, good mayonnaise (possibly homemade) and a flat, crispy and delicious bacon. The rest is magic. - Bacon Jam: a perfect Cheese companion to have in the frige, this sweet, sour and salty jam combines bacon (we used back bacon for more pronounced smoky flavor), coffee, maple sirup, onions and onions.- Maple Bacon Popcorn: same here. Bacon is the upgraded salt, and Maple Caramel the upgraded Caramel. Add it to popcorn and you’ll never want to eat another version of it. - Bourbon Bacon Chocolate Brownie: the name only makes it dreamy. Add pieces of dark chocolate before cooking for a fudge feeling and pair with cigar and leather seat for greater decadence. - Orange Glazed Bacon Shrimps: south-americanish style, we made a glaze out of soy sauce, orange and lime juices, ginger and garlic, and marinated the shrimps in it. Then just wrap a smoky bacon piece around each shrimp, skewer them and grill them 3 minutes on each side. Glaze with marinade and serve with cilantro and tortillas! Honestly Bomb… - Bacon Crusted Salmon: another surf and turf variation, just mince raw bacon and mix it with Scandinavian crackers crumbs (for a nuttier flavor). Then season salmon, and pass it in flour, eggwash and bacon crumbs. Repeat for better coverage and fry until brown. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the bacon taste really present. Classy snack. - Bacon Salt: easy peasy and to sprinkle any f*** where to give any f*** what a f**** bacon taste! Special Thanks to “The Sausage Man never Sleeps” who does the best homemade Bacon in Berlin.

13 Sandwiches from all over the World - Part 2 Food, People, Places 2017-09-13 | Two years after our first “13 Sandwiches from all over the world” video, we decided to follow your critics and give you some 13 more. Like, share, support our work if you like it! Our British audience was not really satisfied with their Cucumber Sandwich, as well as our Argentinian audience despising our choice of calling the Choripan “South American”. In this new list of 13 Sandwiches you will discover more Asian sandwiches, but also South American, European, Caribbean and North American. Grab some bread and follow the flow! 1. Cemita, Mexico Sorry Mexican people, the Pápalo herb in the traditional Cemita Poblana is not to find in Germany so we had to replace it with cilantro. For the rest, this sandwich is composed of a soft sesame roll (called cemita), a spread of Pinto Beans and chorizo, a crusty chicken cutlet, a lot of avocados, Chipotle Chili, Onions and String Cheese. And of course the legendary pápalo! 2. Francesinha, Portugal Also called the Tower of Meat by ourselves. Meats are not always the same (fresh sausage, smoked linguica, beefsteak, ham, etc) but the principles remain the same: a tower of different meat cuts, topped with a lot of cheese, and soaked with a flavorful sauce based on beer and tomato (and sometimes port wine, whisky, bay leaf)... Everyone has its own secret version!3. Roti John, MalaysiaAlso typical in Singapour, the Roti John is basically an omelette sandwich with a good deal of spices. In this version we mixed together eggs, ground meat and onions. The hot dog bun is then simply pressed on the omelette, and topped with Mayonnaise and Sweet Chili Sauce. 4. Bauru, Brazil This Brazilian sandwich is a cheese-lover dream: thin slices of roastbeef are topped with thick slices of tomatoes, pickles and a lot of melted cheese. Simple and hearty. 5. Bombay Sandwich, IndiaAn Indian variation on Club sandwich that is really tasty: the mint & coriander chutney is topped with potatoes, cucumber, red onions and tomatoes, with a last pinch of Chaat Massala. Easy to do and definitely a twist worth a try.6. Doubles, Trinidad & TobagoDoubles is a common street food in Trinidad and Tobago. This sandwich is made of two flat fried curry-flavored pancake (baras), filled with curried chickpeas (channa). On top of it, for a small refreshing taste, usually come shredded cucumbers or mango. 7. Tayto Sandwich, IrelandYes you saw well, this is a simple Crisps sandwich. But not any Crisps: they have to be Tayto Cheese and Onion to be the real deal. A bit of butter, a lot of Crisps, a beer and you good to go!8. Pan Tumaca con Jamón or Pa amb tomàquet, Spain A Catalan classic that will only reveal its taste with high quality ingredients. A good olive oil, a hint of garlic, a riped tomato rubbed onto the toasted bread, and most of all a really really good Spanish Ham. Addictive!9. Yakisoba Pan, Japan Take a stir-fry noodles dish, with small pieces of pork, cabbage and carrots and flavored with an oyster-like sauce and you get “Yakisoba”. Put it in a Hot-dog bun, top with aonori (nori seaweed powder) and beni shoga (shredded pickled ginger) and you get the Yakisoba-Pan! 10. Ploughman’s sandwichTo ease things up with our English friends, we decided to take another chance on one of the national sandwiches. The Ploughman’s sandwich is part of the Ploughman’s lunch, a farmer’s lunch mainly composed or beer (Ale), bread, and cheese. This sandwich usually mature cheddar and pickled onions. The rest is up to you: cucumber, apples, tomato, ham, everything you want can pump it up. 11. Broodje Hagelslag, NeetherlandsNot easy to pronounce but easy to do and even easier to eat! A bit of butter, a lot of chocolate sprinkle: this open face sandwich will satisfy the child in you!12. Reuben, USAThe Reuben Sandwich is an American grilled sandwich, inherited from the jewish/lithuanian community. It is composed of rye bread, Russian dressing (a simple mix of ketchup and mayonnaise), pastrami or corned beef, Swiss Cheese and Sauerkraut. 13. Falafel Sandwich, LebanonIf for now it appears that the origins of falafel would be linked to Egyptian Copts, it is actually hard to say what country loves it more nowadays. We chose a Lebanese version of the Falafel sandwich, with radishes, parsley, lemon juice and of course tahini!
11 Hot Chili Recipes from All Over the World Food, People, Places 2017-07-12 | They are Red, they are Hot, They are Chili Peppers! Except they aren’t all red, they aren’t all so hot, and they come with a great variety of shape, and taste. If you like our video please please please, like and share! Find all of our recipes on our website www.foodpeopleplaces.comSome are consumed raw, some are smoked, some are dried, some have to be blended with other spices because of their strength. In this video, we show you 11 different chilis from the smoothest to the (back then) world’s strongest one, and how they are used in different cuisines of the world.- the Imam fainted, Turkey - Fish Tajine with Chermoula, Marokko- Mole Negro, Mexico- Chipotle Pastelitos, Mexico- Jalapeno Rellenos, Mexico- Aji Amarillo Ceviche, Peru- Papaya Salad, Thailand- Buffalo Wings, US- Pastels, Camerou - Naga Viper Lamm Curry, India- Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Ananas Chow, Trinidad & TobagoYou will notice that those dishes don’t come from the usual countries and Mexico is slightly over-represented. It’s quite normal, Chili peppers actually come from South and Central America, and was then brought to the rest of the world with some other culinary treasures from the New World (potatoes, tomatoes, beans, corn etc). It then got integrated into the local cuisines to various degrees: while it became an essential in African and South Asian cuisine, as well as in some parts of the mediterranean area, it was quite rejected by northern Europe and America. ERRATUM: The Naga Viper is not 380.000 strong but 1.380.000!Disclaimer: during our shooting, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Chili Peppers was the world’s strongest. In between, three new Chili Peppers replaced him one after another: the Carolina Reaper that held the title for a while has recently been beaten by the Dragon Breath with 2.48 Millions on the Scoville Scale.
10 foods to survive Roskilde Festival Food, People, Places 2017-07-01 | We were invited to Roskilde Festival to check out the food they serve there. So Anja and Simon to the chance and went to see one of the most special music festivals out there. Roskilde was established in 1972 and has been non-profit ever since.

10 Cheeses from Switzerland to Melt For Food, People, Places 2017-03-07 | You might not believe it but "Swiss" is actually not one kind of cheese - Switzerland has more than 450 types of cheeses! We chose to feature 10 of them in easy and delicious Swiss Cheese recipes to cook for others - or yourself! All of our Swiss Cheese recipes are available on our blog www.foodpeopleplaces.com 1. The Raclette: Our personal favorite, is traditionally served in individual portions. Raclette actually comes from the word "racler" meaning "Scrape", because you scrape the melted cheese onto bread, potatoes, ham or anything you want. Beware of imitations: the Swiss Raclette Cheese is produced ONLY in a small region of Switzerland, Le Valais. French Raclette might be tasty but it is not the original! 2. Beef and Cheese Yakitori Skewers: or when Swizerland and Japan have babies! Yakitori is a Japanese way to cook skewers - traditionally charcoal grilled chicken seasoned with a unique sweet & salty sauce. In this recipe we replaced chicken with thin slices of beef, glazed them with the famous Yakitori sauce, and wrapped them around a piece of Swiss Cheese: L’Etivaz. This hard cheese, similar to Gruyère, is made purely from summer milk, which gives it some exotic fruity notes.The combination is totally irresistible!3. Vegetarian Carpaccio with Tête de Moine: Tête de moine has one of the richest flavor among all these Swiss cheeses. That’s the reason why we paired it with fresh, sweet and crunchy vegetables. Traditionally this cheese “cut” to form “rosette”, or little roses. Okay, they look more like peonies, but paired with persimmons, radishes, arugula and a hazelnut vinaigrette, creates a flavor you’ll never forgot! 4. Our take on Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich: is with 4 different maturation degrees of Appenzeller Cheese! 3 months, 5 months, 6 months or 9 months, as you like it! Better eat the whole sandwich alone if you want to taste them all. The rest of the ingredients comes from the original: beef, bell pepper, onions and a lot of Worcestersauce. 5. Emmentaler Soufflé : a French classic with a powerful wow effect. Even if Cheese Soufflé is the nightmare of every cook, it actually shouldn’t be. It is no magic, just chemistry. Follow the recipe on our blog, and be ready to plunge in a fluffy cheese cloud. …6. Sweet Potato and Cheese Croquette : a Swizzrocker Cheese for a Rock’n’roll recipe! A crusty fried ball hiding a soft sweet potato mash and a heart of elastic cheese. Easy, spicy, gooey and irresistible. 7. The original Swiss Fondue with a Mushroomy twist: who hasn’t tasted a fondue yet right? But have you tried the real one? The original Swiss version is made out of TWO cheeses : le Gruyère, nutty and deliciously salty, and le Vacherin Fribourgeois for creaminess. To add a little more umami, we decided to tuck in some seared mushrooms!8. Sbrinz Asparagus Risotto: before calling us sinners, what if I told you that Sbrinz may actually be the grand father or Parmigiano Reggiano? It might even be the oldest Cheese in Europe - but nothing is settled. This very very hard cheese can only be carved, not cut. Hint: it is the cheese we used to create the mountains at the beginning of the video.…9. Gruyere Crisps: Lace-like. They are beautiful, light, crispy, done in 3 minutes and they can change any of your dish into art. The trick: handle them when they are still warm to give them a special shape, as they will solidify in few seconds. To curve some of them, we simply put them on a rolling pin! 10. Baked Mont d’or… with bacon potatoes, because decadence never stops! Mont d'Or is definitely a cheese that deserves more recognition. Its wood box gives it a light oaky flavor, the cheese is velvety, and breaking its crust is even more satisfying than Crème Brûlée’s. As side dish, we pre-cooked small potatoes, wrapped them in bacon, and put everything in the oven. Gimme more! DISCLAIMER: we had planned to do a video about melting cheeses to warm you up during winter 2017, when the Switzerland Cheese Marketing contacted us. Their support enabled us to create an even greater video, as we usually finance all our videos by ourselves. They supported the project both materialy by providing the cheeses and some devices, as well as financially but they had no influence on the content nor on the recipes.
How to cook Spaghetti Squash, with Mushroom and Lemon Food, People, Places 2017-02-21 | Spaghetti Squash is one of the most exciting member of the squash family. Nature literally offers us a vegetarian already made pasta! But to cook Spaghetti Squash, you need to follow some basic steps. First, know that Spaghetti Squash is really hard. Hard to pierce, hard to cut : take a good knife or a bread knife and cut carefully and patiently. To cook the actual vegetable, you can follow many options : the easiest is to boil it whole for 40 minutes, before deseeding it. But you might find its taste a bit bland. We personnaly favorited the roasted version. Deseed your squash, season it with a bit of oil, salt and pepper and put it face down in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until you can easily pierce its skin with a fork. Take it out and just pull the spaghetti with a fork. Easy! Be creative with the toppings: traditional bolognese sauce, eggs and bacon or as we did with mushrooms and lemon, everything is possible. Easier top the spaghetti squash directly with a sauce, or sautee them shortly with your seasonings. It's delicious and not that complicated to cook a Spaghetti Squash! You have more tipps? Some good seasoning that go really well with the squash? Share it in the comments!
How to bake an easy Colorful Tomato Tart Food, People, Places 2017-02-07 | Try out this easy Colorful Tomato Tart to do something out of all these beautiful varieties of tomato.This provencal tart is totally worth a try: it enhances the taste of tomato by only roasting it lightly without adding too many ingredients. You can definitely taste the differences between the fruity Yellow Ananas Tomato, the deep Black one, the apple-like Green Zebra or the sweet cherry tomatoes. To bake this tart, all you have to do is set a pastry in the form (we like better puff pastry as it makes everything lighter, but you can also use a regular short crust pastry), makes some holes in it with a fork to prevent from puffing too much and add the old style mustard. It sounds unusual but it pairs heavenly with the tomatoes! Add some grated cheese (we went for emmental), as well as herbes de Provence. This first layer under the tomatoes will prevent the pastry to soak all the tomato juice and not get crusty. Last step: just cut all your tomatoes, place them harmoniously on top of your tart, sprinkle some salt and pepper and put in the oven for approx. 30/40 minutes at 180 Celsius...It's so simple and so delicious in summer!
How to cook Bitter Melon/Bitter Gourd with Pork Stuffing Food, People, Places 2017-01-31 | To cook Bitter Melon or Bitter Gourd, also known as Bitter Cucumber, you first need a high level of Bitterness tolerance! Here are some hacks to make it eatable for western palates... Soak it in salt for a while before cooking in order to diminish its bitterness. To reduce its strong taste, we paired it with a flavorful and slightly sweet stuffing made out of pork, mushrooms, noodles, fish sauce and coriander. Trick: once stuffed, you can close your Bitter Melon with the green of an spring onion, just blanched in water. We realized a broth out of soy sauce and vegetables, and cooked our bitter melon into it for 20 minutes or until they come back to the surface. Try it out! Once you get accustomed to its taste. it's actually quite nice!Full recipe is here http://www.foodpeopleplaces.com/?p=986

Food Facts EP1 - CHOCOLATE Food, People, Places 2017-01-03 | Here is the first episode of our new series : Food Facts - Chocolate! If you like it please like and comment the video! And for even more Food Facts about Chocolate, read our article on the blog http://www.foodpeopleplaces.com/food-facts-chocolate ! #1 Aztec and Mayan origins of ChocolateThe ancient Maya are believed to be the first people to regularly grow cacao trees and drink chocolate. While Cacao is a Maya word meaning God food, the word “chocolate” comes from the Aztec word “xocoatl". During Aztecs and Mayans times, cacao was a common offering as it was considered to be the drinks of gods: cocoa was crushed to form a paste, then mixed with blood from the person doing the offering (he pierced his tongue or ear for that purpose). #2 Chocolate as An Aristocratic BeverageAfter having been brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus, chocolate was in fact consumed as a liquid, not a solid, for 90% of its history. It was considered as a medecine, served in a really small cup with a lot of spices (such as cinnamon, chili) and water, and reserved for the rich people.#3 The magical properties of ChocolateChocolate contains a chemical called phenylethylamine that releases certain “pleasure” endorphins in the brain, similar to how people feel when they’re in love. #4 Over 600 flavor compoundsA recent analysis found that the individual aroma molecules in roasted cacao beans can smell of everything from cooked cabbage to human sweat to raw beef fat. Together, more than 600 of these flavor compounds melt together in just the right combination to yield the taste and scent of what we all call chocolate, according to Peter Schieberle, a food chemist at Munich Technical University and director of the German Research Center for Food Chemistry. That’s three times more flavor compounds than red wine…#5 Melting on your tongue Chocolate is the only edible substance that melts under 37°C, that’s why it melts in the mouth. Cocoa butter melts at just below average body temperature and therefore it is easily desolved into the skin, making it the ideal foundation in moisturising creams and other such products.#6 White chocolate isn’t chocolate In order to be classified as real chocolate, a product has to contain cocoa solids or cocoa liquor. White "chocolate" contains cocoa butter instead.#7 World Bestselling Chocolate Bar Snickers holds the top spot for the bestselling chocolate bar in the world. Made by Mars, Incorporated, Snickers has annual global sales of $2 billion. The peanut, caramel and chocolate bar was named after the Mars family’s favorite horse when it was introduced in 1942.#8 Explosive At one point the Nazis plotted to assassinate Winston Churchill with an exploding bar of chocolate.#9 And Smart! Research published last year showed a high correlation between a nation’s chocolate intake and the number of Nobel Prizes it wins.#10 Nutella Nutella was invented by an italian pastry, Pietro Ferrero, who after WWII used hazelnuts from Piemont, its region, to extend his poor stock of cocoa. To suit every national taste and habits, it differs according to the country: French one being softer and less chocolated, while German one is more compact and cocoa enriched (German bread being harder and with stronger taste).Now you can still eat it, but do you see it the same way after those Food Facts about Chocolate?

Portuguese Food : How to cook Bacalhau Confit Food, People, Places 2016-11-24 | Portuguese food is a rich and diverse cuisine : ressembling mediterranean neighbours on some points, it is particularly famous for its seafood. The country has Europe's highest fish consumption per capita and is particularly fan of the Bacalhau, a cod fish that was salted and dried to allow a yearly consumption. It is said that Portuguese have at least 365 different recipes to cook this fish, one for each day. Portuguese food also includes a wide use of spices due to its colonial past (such as chili, saffron or vanilla), as well as fresh herbs, garlic and of course homemade olive oil. For the last 20 years the quality of the wine produced in Portugal has notably improved, making it one of the best wine region of the planet. In this recipe we present you one way of cooking Bacalhau in Portugal : slowly cooked in olive oil, the fish unfolds a incredible taste and consistency. Seasoned with fresh herbs, garlic and accompanied by some Portuguese red wine such as Douro, it's a dish to die for!

Foodcamp Sintra Food, People, Places 2016-11-08 | Portugal is one of our favorite countries: the food is delicious, people are warm and welcoming, the landscape is rough but beautiful.

Sintra is a costal region in the south, close to Lisbon, and its mountains unfold a special micro climate. Luis showed us many traditional Portugese dishes but he cooked them with less fat and some non-traditional spices: the result was truly amazing. As we organized a Food Camp we invited Sophia Schilik from Cucina Picina (http://cucinapiccina.de/) and Ariane Bille to accompany us on the trip, in order to exchange recipes and cooking techniques.We had one of the best times ever and became truly good friends. Regina & Luis, thank you so much for making this possible, we are immensely grateful!Disclaimer: Insider cooking Portugal paid for accommodation and food, but has no influence on the content of this video.

The trip covered many more exciting stops, such as Kloster Plankstetten or at a Donau fisherman.But the main events of a Foodcamp are the cooking sessions.

The dishes are collectively arranged into an order and paired with local wines and beers.

7 Burgers inspired by Christmas Food, People, Places 2015-12-02 | Sign up for our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/WmwALFind the burger recipes on our blog: http://www.foodpeopleplaces.com/category/burger-recipesWe always wanted to shoot a burger video. However, as we discussed possible themes for a new clip, some team members suggested we should do something related to Christmas. So here it its: our Christmas burger video. What's new is that all recipes are creative ideas of our own. The only burger that is inspired by an already existing burger is the „Shrimpy Clause“. Helena ate a delicious burger with grilled shrimps and grilled avocado in London on a street food market at a stall called „Mr. Shrimpy“. We chose this combination as it is very common to eat prawns for Christmas in Australia (and probably also in other places around the globe which have access to fresh prawns). The other 6 burgers feature christmassy ingredients and typical dishes which can be found in most countries that celebrate Christmas. Of course some of it is very German, like our two Knödel buns, but we also tried to include some traditional Christmas foods from other countries, like the Panettone which we cut into a bun for the „Fire & Ice“. It is a christmassy version of the ice cream sandwich, in this case topped with home made marzipan ice cream. One note about the process of flambéing this burger: we used rum first, but it did no burn as the alcohol level was not high enough. So we ended up using methylated spirit, so this burger could not be eaten in the end. Another true Food, People, Places story. We hope you enjoy this video as much as we did while shooting it and have a wonderful Christmas!Watch the making of: youtu.be/Gs02mUmMvIIList of burger:Oh DeerDuck & CoverGoose BombShrimpy ClauseChestnut Crackerm Santas MeltdownFire & IceTeam: Idea, Direction, Production: Rusch Meyer (http://www.ruschmeyer.org)Chef: Helena Friebel - Bam Cuisine (facebook.com/bcbreakfastclub/?fref=ts)Cinematographer: Robert Staffl (http://robert-staffl.com)Editor: Dennis Gnoni (http://vimeo.com/woodplant)a Reframe - Videos for the Web Production (http://www.reframevideos.com)InspirationMr. Shrimpy, LondonThanks toFleischerei Gottschlich, Berlin, for the good quality meatIcons used in the logos made by Freepik from www.flaticon.com
14 Ways to transform a Potato Food, People, Places 2015-11-03 | Potatoes. Are. Great. Sign up for our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/WmwALThe Potato Recipes featured in this video will be released in the coming days at http://www.foodpeopleplaces.com/category/potato-recipesThey were brought to Europe from Central and South America in 1570. As it was easy to grow, it was very cheap and became the main food of the poor. Therefore almost every country on this planet has their own traditional potato dishes. The potato leads all other vegetables in worldwide production. Thus, these tubers have a high food cultural relevance worldwide. And of course they can be prepared in a variety of ways, which made us curious. There is a general division between „mealy“ and „waxy“ potatoes. This means that the texture of the potatoes differs when cooked. Mealy potatoes are good to use for mashed potatoes, purees or gnocchi. They contain more dried starch which turns into a dry and fluffy texture when cooked. Waxy potatoes stay together when cooked and are therefore ideal for salads, rösti (hash browns) or the tornado potato. Luckily we had very good advice from our local potato market stall in Berlin, so we used 10 different types of potatoes: Blaue Annelise, Berber, Cilena, Gunda, Agria, Blauer Schwede, Moor-Leyla, Linda, Sieglinde and Rote Emma. Of course these are types cultivated and grown mostly in Germany - they might have other names or brother and sisters in your home country. The interesting thing about potatoes is, that you can actually transform them into surprisingly textures and forms. And often you only need one or two more basic ingredients to create the most tastiest dish. With our selection of recipes we tried to represent these transformations of the tuber coming out of the soil.When choosing the recipes, we discovered that the French do a lot of very tasty things with potatoes. Therefore 4 of our 14 dishes have their origins in the French cuisine (Aligot, Pommes Duchesse, Pommes Soufflée, Fries). The Potato Espuma is our bit of molecular cuisine, the principle of creating foams (with a siphon and nitrous oxide capsules) being invented by Ferran Adrià in his restaurant El Bulli in Spain. On the Asian continent potatoes are by far not so popular as they are elsewhere. Nevertheless we took one recipe into our selection that plays with the flavours of the Japanese kitchen and its tradition for noodles. We even included one dessert, the Knedel, a potato dough dumpling filled with a plum, that is prepared in Eastern Europe and the Balkan. Here is the list of all dishes featured in the video:Potato Salad Potato Skin ChipsSkordaliaHasselback PotatoAligotPotato EspumaFriesPommes SoufléeGnocciPommes DuchessePotato NoodlesRöstiKnedelTornado PotatoAs always you can find the recipes and some additional information on the dishes in the following days on our website: http://www.foodpeopleplaces.comWatch the making of: youtube.com/watch?v=YR18JGDWHYQSpecial Thanks to:Tom Elstermeyer, for the potato noodle recipegaumengold.wordpress.comSchmidt’s Kartoffeln, every Tue and Fri on Maybachufer Market in Berlin, Neukölln/KreuzbergGoldhahn und Sampson, for letting us borrow a proper Mandoline from their cooking school equipmenthttp://www.goldhahnundsampson.deTeam: Producer, Director: Rusch MeyerChefs: Leila Boutaam, Helena FriebelCinematographers: Robert Staffl & Otto StockmeierEditor: Henning MalzMotion Graphics: Jakub Jezny Music: Mussorgsky - Night on a bare MountainIcons used in the logos made by Freepik from www.flaticon.com

Street Food Berlin: Spargel International Food, People, Places 2015-07-08 | On the 23rd of May, 2015, the street food scene in Berlin found a new playground. Organized by the Contemporary Food Lab, “Spargel International” was an international street food festival featuring asparagus. The festival drew chefs from around the world with one mission: combine Germany’s favorite vegetable with a bit of magic from their own culinary culture to cook up something delicious. The idea was so popular (no fewer than 17,000 people wanted to attend, according to Facebook!) that the first attempt was shut down by the police. It’s a fact: what Germans have for asparagus is no less than true love.Asparagus cream soup. Asparagus with hollandaise sauce. With Black Forest ham, schnitzel, smoked salmon… or just brown butter. Every year in Germany, it’s the same story. From the moment spring arrives, every restaurant eagerly transforms their offerings into an “asparagus only menu”.With “Spargel International”, CFL decided to cross both culinary borders and physical ones. This year, the population of Berlin had the opportunity to discover seven ways to cook, season and marry asparagus with ingredients from other cultures. But they also found stories from people who left their countries — sometimes willingly, like Jordi from Spain, and sometimes by fleeing from war and becoming refugees, like Abo Malek from Syria. When street food takes on politics, German asparagus can been seen as a torch of tolerance between cultures.**************Music by Akowa *************Learn more about the great projects of the Contemporary Food Lab on their website http://contemporaryfoodlab.com/.
