We asked some people in our in our Stream Community share with us some some recipes tell us about those foods that remind you of your home your mom where you came from check out what they said this is a pretty cool. This dish is actually really special for me because it reminds me of how im also in the news my mom and dad would go early in the morning while me and my siblings are still sleeping and the reason must be for breakfast we get super excited and come downstairs and all enjoy together so 1st i made the base using ginger garlic onion tomato puree green chiles and multiple spices one thing that many people dont know is that its common to add tea to punjabi chili to give it a darker color at the chickpeas and then let this simmer until the gravy becomes more thick and what you want to do is serve it with some onions as well as coriander and there you have it a quick and easy but just be chilly growing up as a kid i never had waffles and pancakes for breakfast instead my syrian family would make a spread of middle eastern breakfast staples this would usually consist of mcdougals which is a pickled eggplant kieffer cheese hard boiled eggs fava beans salad home was held and honestly the list goes on she was every single middle eastern household has a staple song that you need to themselves. The beautiful spread as usual not final product and. They are making me. Just starts. Old time now for sure dad learned from my grandma oversized meatballs inside a crispy outside so i boiled them 1st fried them. As it was a cookie. Took anything to leave with my grandma always. Was right this is the best kumble. Ive made just distressed family only so this has become my kids favorite dish as well. How good it does me balls look right they made me hungry so look if youre home grab your favorite comfort food and settle in for the next 25 minutes because were going to talk about it im going to ask my guests to introduce themselves so were going to go around the table here making me start with hi Mary Mitchell and im a chef. And cofounder of im social club in london. Thanks and joanne hi im Joanne Mullen r o i am the creator of the korean weekend i am also a trial lawyer here in Chicago Illinois and a beer. I am a beer im a chef and food writer and the daughter of palestinian immigrants born and raised on the soap ascent of chicago joined us all you could tilt your head there when you saw her put the tea in whatever that was she was making to make it darker did i did you seen that before or is that something that that kind of. No i thought that was pretty fascinating its one of my favorite things about going out to take top is i learned all these Little Chicks in the hints about flavoring food and making it more authentic i just love it. Marie what was food say about who you are. I mean for me. You know i my both my parents are jamaican but i could carry in food as a whole and its really a chance for me to kind of explore my heritage because you know in school i didnt learn much about it and its my chance to kind of tao and to kind of experience this beautiful history that features in each dish because you know caribbean faired was probably one of the 1st global cuisines because of how many different influences it features within the food and its just a chance for me to kind of delve into that understand my heritage my culture more be. You could be one dish that that actually does that for you that good tells that story. So a dish that i worked on last year its actually a guy on one called peppermint hot and its just a really beautiful way of thinking about preservation and actually thinking about the fact that food often was you know its a necessity but often in some places youd have to find ways in which i should preserve that so its like a dish but its actually a preservation of culture as well as something that physically was a preservation of food itself and its made up of so many like beautiful flavors the main component initially is kasserine which is actually the root of the casaba thats boiled down and that actually kind of preserves the meat and then out it knows what time an old spice. Knows of different flavors and its just its so complex and its just probably one of my favorite dishes to cook. I could listen to you talk to me about it for a really long. As i think there are. And she had a great beer with when youre missing home or growing up your family what would you want to do you turn to what do you make. One of my ultimate comfort food is rice but like i said out of the child of palestinian immigrants i was born and raised on the southwest side of chicago and among so many different communities so. That has influenced so much of the food i made and kind of tells a story on my plate of where im from so i love rice and i love stews and comfort food from my posting inherited but i also love food that represents a lot of the communities that i grew up around like a lot of mexican food a lot of pretty computer. And just the places ive traveled as influence a lot of the food that just takes me back to that place especially when were stuck at home like we are now but if you talk about mexican food if we can go to my computers this is for an International Audience youve got to stand us as a country made up of immigrants and so they bring all the food here these are the Favorite Foods in each state and that food you see i like mexican food. A lot of chinese and a couple time out there on the west coast i was reading a preparing for the story that there are more chinese food restaurants in the u. S. Than mcdonalds k. F. C. Taco bell and windiest combined there were 40000 chinese restaurants in the u. S. Which is is kind of incredible joy what recipe do you turn to when you want when you want that smell of home. Sure. Probably some to which you go which is a silken tofu stew and part of the reason for that of course is because i relate to that i relate that to my mother because that was the 1st korean recipe that my mother ever taught me to make and so it goes hand in glove with you know remembering home remembering my mom remembering her teaching me to make it as much as the fact that its a very hot spicy you know delicious comforting stew so all of those things kind of combine to really provide that comfort food at the next level for me when im missing home or when i miss my mom. If you know one thing i love to cook is a Roast Chicken i did this was called is there any Roast Chicken where youve salted about 48 to 72 hours and it fails and leave it in the the fridge in the salt just gets absorbed all the way down to the bone but when you roast that and its like the neighbors might be able smell it from your house it just smells so warm and comforting you know but i love it you know we talk to so in fundy as hes a professor in a writer from the door Dermer Caroline and we asked her about this to check this out i was born in puerto rico but reason the American South and for me the food has always been a tether to the island every time i smell sofrito hitting a pan of hollow who im transported back to my grandmothers kitchen i believe that the flavors we grew up with become deeply embedded in our taste memory and we return to those flavors in order to maintain that connection and celebrate ancestry which for me is indigenous african and spanish the things he can be a powerful connection to the places we come from because we can take them with us wherever we go. You know mary listen terry makes me think about help cultures have a certain ownership over their own culture to include their food in recipes and you know its been a hot topic lately what happens when celebrity particularly white Celebrity Chefs take that as a Cultural Appropriation and you know make money off of those recipes cute cute touch on those that is that because part of me is like being in America Country of immigrants im like bring it all bring it on i love it and so i want all that cultural influence and i want to learn to cook it and make those things but i also see the problem that theres probably a lot of doors open to those particular chefs you know that maybe arent open to chefs of color in certain communities can you can you touch on that for me yeah i mean it is fundamentally a woman and eventually its cultural cooperation and its frustrating because there are plenty of people out there that are doing Amazing Things but im presenting at the same opportunity and i think the main but discussion comes to a place where its not as if this concept of right on day in foods of other coaches but its about being respectful of them and understanding being really important if strings think to within them because quite often as you saying that the Playing Field is very white and very male dominated and you know theyll often kind of create things but not when we have spent the time and the energy really understanding why that shouldnt be messed with in the in the way in which they might be approaching it and i just think that you know it needs to be dealt with sensitively because. Its essentially stripping people of their identities and their culture and there are plenty of people out there that are doing bad theyre actually strengthening it and you know from that clip before it was so beautiful talking about tethering you know that is something that is so precious and it doesnt deserve to be right with so if i want to bring in the headline here is from the Washington Post its chef jamie oliver accused of cultural prescience in for his jamaican punchy jerk writes there was a problem with how jamie oliver did this and maybe he didnt know it differently or better. I think the fact that he didnt use scott when it happens and it was i think jalapenos instead it was rice you know that dish is essentially a kind of amalgamation of. Smoking and the importance of all spice words that used to be used to do that and why that flavor meticulous needs to injure in a dish and then youve got the sweet that spicy mess of in scotch when it happens its just its the fact that i think what was lightly you know i cant be quite honest i dont know if the fact it probably didnt have someone in the room that was from culture because if there was you wouldnt have rice because it wasnt it wasnt jack rice you cant get quarts like him but ok king wait remember that an existing. One thank you for the shout out to scotch mana peppers been eating a man we because we had some trinidadians literally this week and we bought a bottle of the sauce that barely mentioned what. Was going to it is like the recipe fine you should just named it Something Else like yeah just call whatever he wants on ok dont take yeah. Julian what do you do you think because i read a definition of Cultural Appropriation when it comes to cooking it has to do with. One culture taken from another culture but particularly that the culture they took it from is a culture that came from oppression and the culture that it is taking it didnt experience any of that oppression and if that is a fair definition can there be Cultural Appropriation in other ways like can you call culturally appropriate french food or because there is an oppression involved in that that thats up for grabs. Thats a really interesting question i you know the fluidity of language is often challenging when youre talking about these very important concepts and you know for me and perhaps this is the lawyer in me i like the term Cultural Appropriation as a very general broad word that encompasses anyone trying a recipe that isnt from their own culture which means that it isnt always necessarily a bad thing what i think is a bad thing however is what i call cultural misappropriation when youre doing it for profits and youre not actually doing it in a way thats respectful as we just discussed and you know youre actually deriving revenue or some other kind of benefits thats just for you so in the case of jamie oliver for example. You know the scotch is such a great example because i was actually thinking of doing a caribbean rice curry dish because one of my friends who is also a jamaican she featured in our cookbook and i was really excited to try it because her mother made it for me and it was quite frankly one of the most delicious things i had ever but of course i have no experience with Caribbean Food ive never made it before and you know i stupidly thought oh this use this should be really easy i you know im the flavors are so good im sure i could do it and when i looked at her cookbook i realized there were at least 7 ingredients that id never heard of was completely unfamiliar with and i decided well this is time for me to actually do some research and do it appropriately and give her some respect for that so i think you know in terms of what happened here with jamie oliver and misappropriation is very much rooted in this idea that you know. Caribbean food is a food of color if you will and it comes from people of color and therefore this notion of misappropriation can that occur you know against for example a culture that hasnt been no press historically is a really interesting one and you know i dont know if its being too political or being controversial but id say that its probably very hard to do im not sure that it really. I think in that bedded in the definition of misappropriation is this idea that you are sustaining oppression by you know disrespecting the culture and disrespecting the hardship that is kind of in that food injected in that food by that history. You know theres also the economics of it im going to bring in another member from our Community Want to go over matter has had this to say about the money of it. But what really concerns me is that people monetize from these dishes. Given back to the community especially that along the same unities. And without giving credit to this community so often thats the case. That you know tend to create a you know procreate is this is in a way that. The credits where they learned. These dishes from and i think thats the problem i mean i saw you nodding through that what were you thinking. And im just thinking im thinking about what everyone has said and i think at the surface level we just see like a white person or a person in a place of power cooking this food but we dont see the other factors that theyre contributing to when theyre making a sip of food for instance as a palestinian and a big reason i started sharing my food publicly was because i was seeing my food misappropriated. And being called israeli and when we continue to perpetuate that and perpetuate that misappropriation is not just contributing to erasing palestinian food its a recent palestinian culture its erasing the existence of palestinians and what people dont know is they are probably in some way contributing to just further colonizing of callus sign and of the people there and continuing to erase the existence of them and all together and youre contributing to these bigger factors that are happening to people real people in the world. Just by saying well i like jamie cooking that instead of a palestinian person. They want to bring us some comments from the you tube community theyre talking about this food equals gateway to another cut culture that is shrimp paste one of. Its very funny that her name is tripp a pale and you think shed have an opinion about food here is. Not cannot pronounce this and i am sica yes boots become a part of your provides you with memories like the young lady use the word tether it was a great word samuel a when you go commercial i guess it stops being about the food you have to follow principle and then we have a another stop from our community or another comment for someone in our community this is not a sure shes a food photographer and a recipe developer checked so. And my mom and my grandparents really really used introduce us to so many and if. I lived in jordan for a little bit and my grandmother and my grandfather were there i had a lebanese grandmother done for and i learned so much about food and our culture through the food that they used to make there are so many memories that i have of my mom teaching me to make traditional food she learned from her mom and now i get to teach my daughters about that to my left me so i have for example in the wintertime with my younger daughter its something i used to do with my mom growing up teaching her how to make sure because my grandmother taught me how to me that so many different memories that we get to make and we get to learn about our culture through the food that we which is amazing i want to go back to you and that that into you had about the its often seen as israeli food when its actually palestinian food what is palestinian food tell us about the culture in the country. Not a lot for instance no i didnt travel back to palestine as a child i only started travelling back as an adult and my family went through displacement in 1948 and they still live to this day in a refugee camp and what i learned recipes from my mom im connected to not just my grandparents my great grandparents and ancestry that i never really got to know and i get to know them through these recipes its not just a recipe i learned so ways about them i learned where they came from because now sometimes ill learn a recipe from my mom and people who live around where my family currently lives in palestine dont cook that recipe so it makes me dig a little deeper about will they learn this in the africa that they learned this on their way while they were leaving gaffa and stopped in egypt and then came to a refugee camp and it caused me to kind of like i said dig deeper and suddenly there is just so much more than a recipe theres this placement there is history of their stories their struggle and like she said that memory that you suddenly become attached to and that heritage that you can connect to is really something that cant just be explained in a short you know description about a dish and i think a lot of the food from my grandmother how they were shaped by the Great Depression here in the u. S. You know she was eating a fact back or pork rinds or things now or didnt report belly and may but back then its what they could afford what they could be and also think about bringing your culture to to another critical trip through food and we have another member of our community malik you know him who is a step of the michelin star restaurant in paris heres what he had to say about that mostly only by me or not because they i am cooking them to french kitchen because this was the main reason i came to france for discussion. But in egypt my dishes i add the lebanese flavor does reminds me of my family and my mom who used to cook for us when i was young i always shop here when i have the lebanese flavor i can hardly believe that for example they has come and we are able to change falafel is filling it with smoked fish mix homes with covey are a mix greek yogurt with black mushrooms this is where everything started mixing french food lebanese flavor and this was so special to me and the clients felt the same. You know the credible thing about alan is when he got to paris he was homeless and he started working in a restaurant one day the chef called in sick and he was able to step up and fill that role and now he actually has his own michelin starred restaurant and i love to think that the secret ingredient he brings is the tears that he described you know as he said it was certainly good maybe thats the salt that i just cant get the same as alan because it comes from his own tears and we just have a couple minutes left the shown up ive got to go around the table and give me one recipe from your culture that i need to learn to cook im going to start with you joint. I would have to say the one recipe is my tofu recipe. And you know growing up we used to eat chicken im obviously began and so what i did as a translator battens tofu it is my most popular recipe and i love it because people are like oh my god i never knew toefl could be so good and so definitely check it out all right im on it my oldest son is vacant so maybe ill make this for him you know a lot of it id worry what was the one thing i need to learn to cook. Oh youve got plenty right see itself staple in all restaurants its kind of we basically might write c. And Everything Else is kind of a round that 1000. 00 so its all about using rarity as a base and its just i find it incredibly therapeutic just tearing apart and over the years and the whole process its just its a labor of love you know you know when the bit. Embarrassing how much i enjoyed listening to you talk about food i look. To. The most popular recipe i put out which is rose cardamom chestnut chests it honor is that i learned to love and the communities i grew up in but as the flavors of my heritage with rose water and part of and yet its going to be super comforting especially now as it gets colder and. That still leaves me mind blowing art look thank you so much guys for your recipe thank you everyone in the audience for joining us today im going to go get something to eat i hope you do too.
