Foodbuzz Oishii Rasoi » About Oishii-Rasoi Hello, I’m Samar. Welcome to “oishii rasoi”, a blog chronicling my culinary adventures. I decided to build this site as a way to catalog and share what I cook and eat, an outlet, if you will, for my primary obsession: food. I live in New York, and my culinary interests tend to reflect the diversity of that city. This is embodied in the title of this blog (in case you were wondering what it means): “Oishii” (美味しい) is tasty or delicious in Japanese, and “rasoi” (રસોય) means cooking in Gujarati (and other Indian languages). What you will and won’t find here. I am obsessed by food, but I also have a day job (in academia) as they say.

Milada Horakova | Radio Prague I'm standing on Milada Horakova Street, a busy thoroughfare in the Prague six district. The street was named after Milada Horakova following the Velvet Revolution. Although she is not one of the best-known Czechs in History abroad, Milada Horakova has come to represent the sufferings of a great many people under the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia, especially during the 1950s. A woman renowned for her courage and conscience, she was hung by the Communists for treason and espionage almost fifty years ago to the day... Milada Horakova was born in Prague on Christmas Day 1901, the daughter of a pencil factory owner. She attended high school in Prague during the First World War, and she entered the law faculty of Charles University in 1921, only three years after the foundation of the Czechoslovak Republic. After the occupation of the Czechoslovakia in 1939, Milada Horakova and her husband, Bohuslav Horak, joined a resistance movement and were both arrested by the Gestapo in 1940.
Everyday super foods: turmeric & ginger - Jamie Oliver | Features Herbs and spices are such important ingredients to any cook. They can add fantastic flavour to a meal or drink, and have great nutritional benefits, too. Fresh herbs work especially well – particularly mint and basil – to add a delicate flavour to plain old water and create a more interesting way to stay hydrated. Using spices and herbs in a dish can reduce the amount of salt that’s needed without compromising the flavour, and a small amount of spice goes a long way due to the flavour they can pack in. Ginger is a favourite of mine on the spice front, I really love its warm, spicy, punchy, pungent flavour and, whether dried or fresh, it’s always an ingredient I’m well stocked up on. Ginger is a great ingredient to get into your diet when you can. Many herbs and spices are packed full of micronutrients. So, as you can see, using lots of herbs and spices does wonders for flavouring food, but also for your health too! 20 healthy ways to use ginger 1 / 20Expand Tandoori chicken
Izpovedi in temne vizije: Hitri tečaj kosov govedine Ker vas mnogo vohlja za recepti z govedino po internetu, včasih pride do problemov, kateri kos mesa dejansko potrebuješ za pripravo okusne jedi. Naj vam bo v pomoč tale hiter seznam. potrebno je poudariti, da Slovenci ne ločimo tako podrobno med posameznimi rezi, ampak pametno je vedeti, s katerega konca živali pravzaprav prihaja posamezen zrezek ali kos pečenke. Sprednja noga in poprsje: chuck = plečebrisket = prsni kos. Rebra: prime rib = zarebrnica, zgornji del ob hrbtenici. Ledveni del: short loin + sirloin = kare. tenderloin = pljučna. flank = flam oziroma potrebušina. Ostane le šeround = stegno. Velja omeniti, da Angleži kose klasificirajo malo drugače, vendar ko govorimo o zrezkih, je vsaj v kuharskih oddajah, ki jih spremljamo, prevalentna ameriška nomenklatura. Kot zanimivost, ker se dostikrat pojavi: flat iron oziroma butler steak.
Andrejev dnevnik - Istrabenz Pismo št. 1 Pozdravljeni, ker boste v prihodnjem letu spremljali mojo pot, nekateri bolj, drugi manj, naj se vam najprej na kratko predstavim. Sedemindvajset let je od tega, kar sem v Kopru pokukal na svet in tu sem odraščal vse do odhoda na študij v Ljubljano. Bodoči sodelavci v družbi Istrabenz energetski sistemi so me takoj vključili v delo in vzeli za svojega. Izobraževanje se je začelo na neki način že 20. januarja, ko sem prisostvoval koordinacijskemu sestanku za Evropski projekt VBPC-RES, kjer družba Istrabenz energetski sistemi nastopa v vlogi partnerja pri projektu. Naslednji je bil seminar SOLTRAIN v Ljubljani 24. in 25. januarja. Takoj po seminarju sem odpotoval v Maribor na Fakulteto za računalništvo, elektrotehniko in informatiko, kjer imajo veliko izkušenj na področju, ki je pri nas še dokaj neznano, to je pri gradnji sončnih elektrarn. Na fakulteti sta me največ »obdelovala« magistra Andrej Hanžič in Vili Muzek. Lepo vas pozdravljam Andrej Hrabar Snežne umetnine Pismo št. 2
To September And Beyond: To a Macaroni Pie Politics has been a bit fraught this week, and I'm sure you need another how-you-should-vote article like a hedgehog needs a steamroller, so I thought I'd give everyone a nice break. Happily, this accords with my long-standing policy of being a snivelling coward, so it's a win all round. It's Burns season, so here's another wee pastiche. I present it in the spirit of peace, love and understanding, so those losers at the Forfar Bridie People's Front had better not accuse me of hectoring or organise someone to slag me off in the National. And who knows what the Deep Fried Mars Bar Cult will think of it? Fair fa’ your sharp, acidic tang Great Chieftain o’ the Scotch Pie gang! Ye staun aboon the whole shebang Steak, Mince or Mutton Sworn foe of every hunger pang And strainin’ button! Behind the Co-Op checkout’s shield Ye stand in majesty revealed Proud pasta tubes in pastry sealed Wi’ milky sheen And topped wi’ grated cheese congealed Like plasticine. His lunch see rustic Labour crave Like lava streams
A local’s guide to Chicago: 10 top tips | Travel Traditionally overshadowed by coastal powerhouses New York City and Los Angeles, Chicago is on the rise, with a record 55 million visitors in 2017 – and new direct flights from the UK with Norwegian and Wow making the US’s third-largest city more accessible. While visitors tend to congregate around the downtown and lakefront areas to admire the city’s world-renowned architecture, there’s a thriving music and bar scene that shouldn’t be missed. Al’s Italian Beef When it comes to eating in Chicago, there are three essential food groups: pizza, hotdogs and Italian beef. Maria’s Packaged Goods One of the more unusual things about Chicago is its “slashies” (liquor store/bar combos), where you can drink at the bar and walk home with a six-pack of beer or bottle of whiskey under your arm. Humboldt Park Many of Chicago’s largest parks are connected through a system of historic leafy boulevards often overlooked by visitors, who often favour the lakefront.
