Culinary crossroads: Afghan cuisine blends its neighbours' flavours but has a charm of its own
Often, the best meals take us completely by surprise. It was 2009 and election season in Afghanistan. I was among a group of reporters weaving through the Hindu Kush to see President Hamid Karzai stump for another term. After six hours on the road, our convoy lurched to a halt outside a run-down building at the junction of two dirt tracks. "Lunch," barked one of our gruff military escorts, and …

Open Question: Becoming a chef? Is it worth it?

I am close to graduating high school and I stuck between a crossroad. I have the option of attending university to study a course I will probably hate in the future but I would like the university experience of living on campus and what not. However I have always loved cooking, I started when I was around 12 and I just loved cooking for friends and seeing the look on their faces when they taste my food. I want to cook and become a chef but I’ve heard and saw peoples life destroyed by the long hard tedious hours of cooking. Don’t get me wrong I love to cook but I would like to maintain a life outside the kitchen, hobbies, children, marriage. I guess what I’m asking is, if I do go into the culinary road, will it be so busy that I don’t have time for myself? Oh, lastly should I start in culinary school or go straight to restaurants?
Thank you very much
Wilson

The fatty acid and tocopherol constituents of the seed oil extracted from 21 grape varieties (Vitis spp.).

J Sci Food Agric. 2012 Jan 23;
Sabir A, Unver A, Kara Z

BACKGROUND: Fatty acids and tocopherols in appropriate quantities are invaluable attributes that are desirable in seeds of agricultural products. Studies have generally focused on the evaluation of the oil and tocopherol components of oil crops. Recently, investigations revealed that the grape seed has robust potential in the production of healthy fatty acids as well as tocopherols. This study was thus conducted to determine the oil and tocopherol components of grape seeds, obtained from various grape cultivars of different species, including two rootstock varieties. RESULTS: The grape seed oil concentration of the studied varieties ranged from 7.3 to 22.4%. The determined fatty acid profiles of the genotypes conformed to the pattern described in the literature for grapes. Linoleic acid is the major component comprising 53.6-69.6% of the total, followed by oleic (16.2-31.2%), palmitic (6.9-12.9%) and stearic (1.44-4.69%). The oils of all the seeds analysed showed a preponderance of α-tocopherol (ranging from 260.5 to 153.1 mg kg(-1) oil extract). β-Tocopherol, γ-tocopherol and δ-tocopherol were also detected with the general means of 0.98, 22.2 and 0.92 mg kg(-1) , respectively. Linoleic acid showed a significantly negative correlation with all the fatty acids analysed. The strongest negative correlation existed between linoleic and oleic acids (r = - 0.834, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Present investigations indicated that oil content, fatty acid composition and tocopherol constituents of grape seed show great variation among the genotypes. Markedly higher proportions of linoleic acid with considerable amounts of tocopherols found in the oil samples suggest that grape seed is a good source for culinary, pharmaceutical and cosmetic uses.

Open Question: Is an Apple computer really better than a PC?

I want to know if a Mac is really better than a PC. I am going to go to college for Culinary Arts and I have enough money to afford a Mac Book Pro. I always hear about how much better the Mac OS is than Windows, and that everything in a Mac is so integrated that it is really seamless.
I would like to especially hear from people who have used both operating systems, especially if you used a Mac and then switched back to a Windows platform.
Thanks a lot, and I look forward to your responses.

Open Question: How to pay for college?

The college I want to go to cost around $35,000 a year, tuition, housing and meal plan included. However, I used the school’s net price calculator and it said after the grants and scholarships and stafford loans, I’d still have about $17,000 left to pay for. Where do I find the money to pay for this? I’m going to baking and pastry arts and if there was a school closer to home that offered it, I would go, but there’s only 2 SUNY (NY State Colleges) 4 year schools that offer it, and maybe 3 community colleges. Should I even waste the money on this school, it’s Johnson and Wales and it’s highly acclaimed for it’s culinary programs.
Wow this was a long questions, thanks if you read it all
