2009-07-11 The Korea Herald : The Nations No. 1 English Newspaper

With the economy so depressed, Ive started researching the cost-benefit ratios of the recipes I use. I know that foods such as green leafy vegetables, pumpkin seeds and tofu can often replace expensive foods, such as filet mignon. Filet mignon may be delicious, but its also extremely expensive and not the healthiest food. Substituting lower-cost foods can improve your health as well as keep your bank accounts in the black. The health benefits of this columns recipe, for example, far outweigh the cost. In researching this column, I worked my way through the vegetable market in Seoul. This is not an easy task because of my lack of understanding of the Korean language (I am finally gearing up to study Korean). I drove my Korean friends crazy asking if they had any idea what the English names for all the less obvious vegetables were.

2009-09-30 Food safety in Mexico

The Mexican government, realising the need to prevent contamination of food, created within the National Health Service, Food Safety and Food Quality (SENASICA) the Directorate General of Food Safety and Food, Aquaculture and Fisheries, which has for several years developed and run schemes voluntarily applied on safety issues, given the lack of a legal and regulatory framework in the country. Through this effort, in , amendments to the Federal laws of Plant Protection, Animal Health and Fisheries, were conferred on the Secretary of Agriculture, legal authorities on risk reduction systems of contamination in primary production of plants, previously defined as Good Agricultural Practices.

2009-04-29 New York Dining - Introducing La Superiors Goth-Mex - page 1

The place came enthusiastically recommended by my coworker, Araceli Cruz, who hails from southern California. "I could never find Mexican food that I liked in New York," she lamented, "till I found La Superior. " While not strictly Cal-Mex in its outlook (theres no birria or burritos), the menu represents an assimilated take on Mexican food, consciously inventing a kind of Gothamite-Mexican cuisine. It does this by appropriating recipes from several regions (Toluca, Guanajuato, Yucat and aacute;n, etc. ) and adapting them for New York tastes. That means plenty of flavor, while moderating the chile heat to almost nil. It also means forgoing Mexican recipes that require complex mixtures of obscure ingredients - Im thinking of southern Mexican moles with their multiple dried and fresh chilies and time-consuming preparations - and letting

2009-03-29 Book Review: The Americanization of Modern Mexico By Joseph Contreras

He is less impressed with Mexicans eating habits, blaming American-style fast food and junk snacks for the fact that more than half of Mexican women between the ages of 18 and 49 are now overweight. At the same time, Americas "insatiable demand" for illegal drugs has given rise to cartels responsible for thousands of killings in Mexico each year. Inevitably, some of the drugs headed for the United States stay in Mexico, leading to huge increases in addiction rates and making drug trafficking one of "the nations top growth industries. " "That grim outlook wont improve," he writes, "until Washington either legalizes narcotics such as cocaine and marijuana or undertakes a concerted effort to reduce illegal drug use. "

Chicagos Great Culinary Middle Ground

For an atmosphere as quiet as Kumas is loud, head to Great Lake in Edgewater, on the far North Side. Lydia Esparza and Nick Lessins opened the place last year in a tiny space with a homey feel -- a mishmash of modern furniture, a few seats and a set of shelves where they sell an assortment of products they like, including wooden knitting needles. (Mrs. Esparza designed showrooms for Herman Miller before plunging into Great Lake; Mr. Lessins worked in consulting. ) Mrs. Esparza said that Mr. Lessins had been working on a pizza recipe at home for years and, at a certain point, the couple decided it was time to bring it to the people. The transition from unseasoned home cook to restaurant chef has, I contend, never gone as well for anyone as it has for Mr. Lessins. This summer, Alan Richman, the food writer for GQ, called the

2009-05-02 Restaurants Why wait for Cinco de Mayo to eat nachos and drink cervezas Seattle Times Newspaper

You can drink mescal or a margarita at the little bar in back. Or pass the time and the lightest tortilla chips imaginable at the big communal table. But youll find me at home at a counter seat, mesmerized by a clutch of cooks kneading and grilling tortillas, ladling the most delicate of albondigas soups, stirring stockpots vibrant with salsas, frying eggs to gild enchiladas and generally making this bright Ballard spot a mecca for Mexican food fanatics. The pause that refreshes comes in a hefty "cocktel" glass a mix of bay shrimp sparked with chiles and cilantro. A banana leaf unfurls to expose a masa pancake steamed with shards of chicken or pork and the black-chile mole that flavors that tamal also appears as a chocolate-hued river of sweet goodness as the specialty of the house Mole Negro
