INTRODUCTION
ENGLISH
Across Europe, a large number of migrants
are socially isolated, and thus, more difficult
to reach through traditional integration
initiatives. Most of them – majority of which
are women -- are unemployed, uneducated,
without professional training, and lack the
necessary language skills to hold a job or to
take part in everyday life activities.
The WI-CaN project gave women from six
different European countries the opportunity
to meet and exchange views on common
topics like education, health issues,
employment opportunities and social
integration. WI-CaN was aiming at
integrating migrant women through cooking
and nutrition, crafts (e.g. sewing and
needlework) and cultural exchange. Local
club evenings and cultural events will
promote informal learning, networking and
cultural understanding.
Participants from six partner countries during the transnational meeting in Cocentaina /
Spain
Transnational partners in the project were:
National Association of Municipal
Clerks, Sofia (Bulgaria)

FOOD CULTURES
//BULGARIA
THE BULGARIAN FOOD CULTURE
ENGLISH
The variety in Bulgarian cuisine is based on the long history of the
country, as well as on the long-lasting migrations of the tribes that
founded Bulgaria more than 1300 years ago. The close contact with
Turkey and Greece have helped form very attractive and to some extent
an exotic national cuisine, including some dishes which are typical of
Bulgaria only.
Famous for its rich salads required at every meal, Bulgarian cuisine is
also noted for the diversity and quality of dairy products and the variety
of Bulgarian wines. Bulgarian cuisine features also a variety of hot and
cold soups, an example of a cold soup being tarator. There are many
different Bulgarian pastries as well such as banitsa.
Most Bulgarian dishes are oven baked, steamed, or in the form of stew.
Deep-frying is not very typical, but grilling - especially different kinds
of meats - is very common. Pork meat is the most common meat in the
Bulgarian cuisine. Oriental dishes do exist in Bulgarian cuisine with
most common being mousaka, gyuvetch, and baklava. A very popular
ingredient in Bulgarian cuisine is the Bulgarian white brine cheese
called "sirene". It is the main ingredient in many salads, as well as in a
variety of pastries. Fish and chicken are widely eaten and while beef is
less common as most cattle are bred for milk production rather than
meat, veal is a natural byproduct of this process and it is found in many
popular recipes.
Bulgaria may well be the first geographical region where vines were
planted and wine produced. The same area may claim property to the
first vine protection decree in 2 c. AD. The wine cellar may also be
Bulgarian invention since Bulgarian monastic orders had first been
reported to have stored wine in cool vaults deep under the ground level.
// DANMARK
THE DANISH FOOD CULTURE
ENGLISH
THE DANISH FOOD CULTURE
The traditional Danish cuisine – old country
kitchen - used ingredients produced in farming. Thus the traditional recipes were created
primarily to protect the Danes against the
country’s cold weather conditions. Therefore,
it was natural for the Danes to eat a lot of
meat together with plenty of vegetables and
rye bread – and it still is today.
Poultry and fish products are the Danes’
second choice. The cold, and often wet
climate in Denmark requires a lot of food with
high nutritional values that contains many
vitamins, minerals and proteins to mobilise a
lot of energy - which is a vital source needed
for work, school, sports and other forms of
daily activities.
Earlier, the Danes used to salt, smoke or
brine-pickle meat, poultry and vegetables
to prolong the food’s shelf life. This tradition
remains an integral part of the Danish food
culture up to today.
For hundreds of years, rye bread and beer
have been basic parts of the daily food consumption. It was only later, that potatoes and
gravy became the main supplement to fish
and meat dishes.
The current Danish food culture is partly still
very traditional and conservative and partly
inspired by foreign cultures, primarily by the
French and Italian kitchen.

DEN DANSKE MADKULTUR
DANSK
DEN DANSKE MADKULTUR
Det traditionelle danske køkken – det
såkaldte landbrugskøkken – benyttede sig
typisk af de ingredienser, som de danske
landmænd producerede på deres gårde.
Opskrifterne var således også indrettet efter
at beskytte den almene landmand mod de
kolde vejrforhold. Derfor var det sædvane at
servere store mængder kød (især svinekød),
grøntsager og rugbrød.
Fjerkræ og fisk var danskernes næstmest
foretrukne valg af mad. På grund af det kolde
og våde vejr og for at kunne varetage det
daglige arbejde havde danskerne behov for
fødevarer med høje næringsværdier, vitaminer, mineraler og proteiner.
For at konservere og forlænge fødevarernes
holdbarhed saltede, røgede eller lagrede
danskerne deres kød og grøntsager. I dag er
denne tradition stadig en anvendt metode i
det danske køkken.
Rugbrød og øl har tidligt været grundbestanddele i den danske madlavning og
forbrug. Senere blev også kartoflen og den
brune sovs et typisk supplement til fisk og
kødretter.
I dag er den danske madkultur til dels stadig
traditionel og konservativ og dels inspireret af
udenlandske kulturer, især det franske og det
italienske køkken.

FOOD CULTURE
German cuisine traditionally includes
different regional styles of cooking and food
specialties. Dishes from the mountain areas
in the South differ a lot from dishes in the
North, where the sea is close. Germany is
well known for the huge variety of breads,
sausages and cheese.
have changed. One example is the Döner
Kebap: Originally coming from South
Eastern kitchen cultures like the Turkish
cuisine, the “Berlin style” Döner Kebap
served with salads and sauce in a bread roll
has become a popular fast food dish in
Germany.
German cuisine is often associated with
hearty, meat-heavy dishes. For example,
many people think of Sauerkraut with
potatoes and sausages or pork legs when
imagining German food. But the everyday
cooking and eating habits have changed
during the past half century, mainly through
migration and mobility factors such as labor
migration, mass tourism, but as well
because of industrialization of food
production, conservation and distribution.
Breakfast (Frühstück) traditionally consists
of coffee and/or tea, bread, toast or bread
rolls with jam or honey, sausage or cheese,
with boiled or fried eggs on Sundays. As this
is a very heavy meal, many people
meanwhile prefer a lighter version of
breakfast, such as cereals with fruit, yogurt
or juice.
Vegetarian and vegan food have become
more popular in the past 25 years,
especially as a reaction to mass production
of meat and poultry and a number of food
scandals. Many young families prefer to use
local organic products where applicable.

Traditionally, the main meal of the day is
lunch (Mittagessen), which is taken between
12:00h and 14:00h. The evening meal then
often consists of a few sandwiches only
(Abendbrot). Due to changing work habits,
many people in Germany meanwhile prefer
to have only a snack at lunchtime, in order
to share the main meal with the whole family
or friends in the evening.

ENGLISH
the Mediterranean Diet
Modern Spanish cooking is very well known thanks to many famous
Spanish chefs who have developed a personal style and have spread it all
over the world.
But the foundations of this modern cooking come from skills, knowledge,
practice and tradition from our mothers and grandmothers who taught
their families a healthy, solid and at the same time simple way of
preparing meals from crops, harvesting, fishing, making preserves,
processing and preparation. They are the real origin of our famous
Mediterranean diet.
Particularly in Cocentaina (and all the area), since we have cold winter, we
have a large list of winter dishes mainly based in vegetables, cereals (rice,
wheat), all sort of beans, chick peas, etc.
During our warm spring we have all sorts of fresh green vegetables, to be
eaten in salads, stews and all kind of pastries and dumplings.
Due to the fact that we are not far from the Mediterranean sea, we also
have fresh fish from Alicante bay.
There is also a large variety of sausages and hams of all kinds, made by
our local artisan butchers (we have 6 or 7 butchers in town).
At Cocentaina we have several bakers and confectioners, each of them
with their own variety of breads and pastries as part of a very well-known
tradition in this community.
But basically the most important of our dishes are the natural ingredients
used in the cooking, being olive oil (of local production) the highlight of
the ingredients.
However, the Mediterranean diet encompasses more than just food. It
promotes social interaction, since meals, with family and friends, are the
basis of social customs and festive events. It has given rise to a
considerable body of knowledge and tradition spread among the
community participants that endures over time.

the Mediterranean Diet
La cocina moderna española es muy conocida gracias a sus famosos
chefs, quienes han adquirido un estilo personal y lo han difundido
alrededor del mundo.
Pero los fundamentos de esta cocina moderna vienen del saber hacer, la
sabiduría, práctica y tradición de nuestras madres y abuelas, que
enseñaron a sus familias una forma de cocinar sana y simple a partir de
cosechas, pesca, cultivo, conservación y preparación. Ellas y ellos son el
verdadero origen de nuestra famosa dieta mediterránea.
En Cocentaina (y alrededores), como siempre hemos tenido fríos
inviernos, cocinamos muchos platos invernales con verduras, cereales y
toda clase de judías y garbanzos.
Durante el periodo estival y primavera gozamos de gran variedad de
verduras frescas para ensaladas, estofados pastas y empanadas.
Como no estamos lejos del mar Mediterráneo, también tenemos pescado
fresco de la bahía de Alicante.
También hay gran variedad de embutidos y jamón de distintas variedades,
hechos por nuestros carniceros locales (6 o 7 en el pueblo).
En Cocentaina tenemos también varios panaderos y pasteleros, cada uno
con su propia variedad de pan y pastas como parte de la bien conocida
tradición de esta Comunidad Autónoma.
Pero básicamente lo más importante de nuestros platos son los
ingredientes naturales que usamos, empezando por el aceite de oliva (de
producción local).
No obstante, la dieta Mediterránea es más que sólo comida. Promueve la
interacción social, desde las comidas en familia o con amigos, que son
una base social en fiestas y eventos.
Esto ha dado lugar a unos conocimientos y la difusión de la tradición entre
los participantes de la Comunidad que perdura en el tiempo.

FOOD CULTURE
ENGLİSH
TURKISH FOOD CULTURE
According to many culinary experts, Turkish
food is considered to be among the top
three greatest cuisines in the world along
with French and Chinese. Some may agree
with the French and Chinese but find the
Turkish one debatable.
When looking back at Turkish history, the
reason for Turkish cuisine being ranked
among the top three cuisines in the world
can be understood better .
Original Turks lived a nomadic, as they
moved from the Far East to Asia Minor
(current Turkey), the Turkish ancestors
adopted various foods from various cultures.
Furthermore; Ottoman Empire which
covered three continents, influenced food
culture from North Africa to Eastern Europe
and most of the Middle East.
Almost every region or province is renowned
with one or more types of foods. The
variation of
Turkish food from region to region is as a
result of a diverse weather, lifestyle due to
geographic location and ancestry. The
foundation of Turkish food is based on the
freshness of the ingredients.
In rural areas the vegetables come right out
of people’s garden just before cooking, the
meat comes from a farm or local butcher.
Although, there are still some people who
are living in cities and perform the routine of
grocery shopping daily to get the freshest
available ingredients. In smaller cities and
less populated areas, fresh ingredients are
still the biggest factor in cooking.
Some of the main ingredients used in
Turkish food can be stated as follows:
Tomato paste, red pepper paste,
pomegranate molasses, olive oil, yogurt,
olives, cheese, cumin, sumac, red pepper
flakes, paprika, black pepper, lemon,
oranges, parsley, mint, dill, garlic, onions,
tomatoes, green peppers, eggplant,
zucchini, green beans, cucumber, cabbage,
fish, chicken, beef, lamb, yufka (phyllo
dough), kadayıf (shredded phyllo dough),
chick peas, dried beans, lentils, pistachios,
walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds.

SHOOTING STAR
ENGLISH
RECIPE
1 person
2 fish fillets (1 breaded, 1 boiled)
75 g shrimps
75 g asparagus (in summer fresh asparagus
are the best)
1 slice of toast
2 dl. white wine
1 lemon
1 slice of cucumber
1 teaspoon caviar
1 tablespoon creme fraiche
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 salad leaf
1 tomato
Dill for garniture
1 egg (optional)
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
“Shooting Star” is an open faced sandwich,
belonging to the “smørrebrøds”-tradition
introduced in Denmark in the 1880s. A traditional open faced sandwich normally consists
of a piece of bread with various kinds of cold
meat, fish, salads, cheese and is decorated
with all types of toppings. “Smørrebrød” is
normally served together with the famous
Danish beer and snaps. The shooting star
got its name from the way it is built or formed.
It consists of a base of buttered rustic rye
bread - two pieces of battered plaice fillets
(rødspætte), a piece of steamed white fish
rolled. On top is piled a mound of fine fresh
shrimps, which are then decorated with a
dollop of mayonnaise or a dressing, black or
red caviar, and nicely cut lemon slices.
Then a piece of salmon rolled around green
asparagus, cucumber, tomato slices and lettuce. Finally, a boiled egg divided into half’s
(optional) and fresh dill. By placing the fish
on top of each other, the dish should get the
form of a shooting star
The shooting star is a classical dish for lunch,
typically served at official dinners and for
Christmas, Easter and Pentecost.
Fry the breaded fish fillet on a pan. Put the
rolled fish fillet in a pot; add white wine, lemon juice and salt and pepper and steam it.
Mix creme fraiche and ketchup and season
with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Toast the
bread on the pan used for the fish fillet. Arrange the toast on a plate and put the salad
leaf on top. Put the fried fish and the steamed
fish hereupon. Put the dressing on top of the
steamed fish and garnish with asparagus
and shrimps. Put the slice of cucumber,
tomato, a lemon slice, caviar and dill on top.
Tip: Smoked salmon can also be used in this
dish.

STJERNESKUD
DANSK
OPSKRIFT
HISTORISK BAGGRUND
Stjerneskuddet har fået sit navn efter den
måde, som retten er bygget op på. Ved at
placere de forskellige former for fisk oven på
hinanden får retten form som et stjerneskud.
Selve retten hører til smørrebrødstraditionen, som har eksisteret i Danmark siden
1880’erne. Stjerneskuddet er derfor også en
klassisk frokostanretning, der typisk serveres
ved officielle middage og jule-, påske- og
pinsefrokoster.
1 person
2 stk. fiskefilet (1 paneret, 1 upaneret)
75 g rejer
75 g asparges (gerne de friske om sommeren)
1 skive franskbrød
2 dl. hvidvin
1 citron
1 a gurkeskive
1 tsk. kaviar eller fiskerogn
1 spsk. creme fraiche
1 spsk. ketchup
1 salatblad
1 tomat
Dild til pynt
Steg den panerede fiskefilet på en pande
med en smule fedtstof ved jævn varme. Kom
den rullede fiskefilet i en gryde, tilsæt hvidvin
og citronsaft, drys med salt og peber og
damp den på komfuret. Bland creme fraiche
og ketchup sammen og smag til med salt,
peber og citronsaft. Rist brødet på panden
fra fisken. Anret brødet på en tallerken og
kom salatbladet på. Herpå lægges den stegte fisk og den dampede fisk lægges ovenpå.
Kør den røde dressing over den dampede
fisk, og garner fisken med asparges og rejer.
Top fisken med en agurk og citronskive,
tomatbåde, dild og kaviar.
Tip: Man kan også anvende laks som fisk.

zucchini.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Vegetarian Dishes have become very
popular in Germany in the past years; after
several food skandals, and as a reaction to
global issues like mass production of meat
and poultry, and the consequences for other
regions in the world.
This is an example of an originally a Greek
dish which came to Germany through
tourists who spent their holidays in Greece,
and through labor migrants who brought
their traditional dishes to Germany.
Greece has always been a country of
emigration. Over the centuries, so many
people have emigrated - especially to the
United States of America and to Ausrtalia so that meanwhile more Greeks are living
abroad then in Greece itself.
In Germany, the biggest wave of Greek
labor migrants came in the late fifites and
sixties of the past century. They worked in
different industries and contributed to the
prosperity of the German economy as well
as migrants from many other countries. In
the past years, due to the economic crisis,
the number of immigrants from Greece to
Germany has increased again.
Mix with breadcrumbs, grated cheese and
egg yolk.
Add salt (when needed) and pepper.
Beat white of egg and mix in carefully.
Fry auburn in ample oil and dry on kitchen
paper.
Serve immediately!

2 onions, chopped
2 tbsp oil
3 tbsp flour
1 tsp paprika
3 tomatoes (or a can of tomatoes)
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Bob chorba or beans soup was a very popular dish in
Bulgaria due to the large internal production of beans. A
wide variety of beans was cultivated in the state and
peasants used to commonly put the beans and vegetables
into a stock pan to make a plain, but filling bean soup.
Usually a combination of beans and root vegetables were
used to make the soup.
1 tsp oregano (or dried mint)
salt to taste
PREPARATION:
Soak the beans in the water overnight. Next morning drain off the water, add
same amount and bring to boil. If you don't want to wait one day to get this
done, you can simply boil the beans for an hour, then discard the water, add
water again and bring to a boil again. Simmer gently for about an hour or until
the beans soften. In a separate plan fry the onions in the oil until golden brown,
add the flour, stir and fry for less then a minute. Add the paprika, stir and add to
the beans. Add the tomatoes and oregano as well. Leave the soup to simmer on a
low heat for about 20 minutes.

EZO GELİN
ENGLISH
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Ezo, good natured and beautiful, married
badly – twice. Her life was so tragic, it
became a legend.Ezo was born in 1909 in
the village of Dokuzyol in southeastern
Anatolia (very near to Konya city). The
house where Ezo lived was on an ancient
caravan route.Ezo’s family stored their water
in a large jug outside the front door. When
dry and dusty travelers wanted a drink, Ezo
graciously served them.Tales of Ezo’s
beauty spread along the caravan route.
Soon, camel drivers were stopping by Ezo’s
house to see her lovely face and spend time
in her company. This happy time came to an
end when she was 20. Her family arranged
Ezo’s marriage to a man who was in love
with someone else.After the wedding, Ezo’s
husband ignored her and left her alone while
he trailed after the woman he truly loved.
For Ezo, who was used to being cherished,
this was intolerable. After a year, she
returned to her family and divorced her
husband.Ezo remained single for six years,
at which time her family arranged a second
marriage to a cousin who lived across the
border in Syria. Though Ezo had six
daughters in Syria, she remained homesick
for her family and village. Adding to Ezo’s
misery was a mother-in-law who couldn’t be
pleased.Ezo died at 46. She was buried, at
her request, on a hill looking north to the
Turkish village she missed so badly.
After a bureaucratic battle between Turkey
and Syria, Ezo’s remains were removed
from her Syrian grave in 1999, and she was
reburied in her home village of
Dokuzyol.Ezo’s tragic life has been
popularized in Turkey through song, film,
and television. Though her life was spent in
hardship, Ezo became the emblem of
traditional values: love, honor, pride, beauty,
longing for homeland, and
patience.Cementing Ezo’s role in Turkish
culture is a soup named for her: Ezo Gelin
Çorbasi (The Bride Ezo’s Soup). Some say
Ezo created the soup to placate her

MEATBALLS WITH BEETROOTS AND SAUCE
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Danes are the most pork eating people
in the world. Each Dane eats almost 60 kg
of tasty pork every year, and nearly 30 kg of
beef. In contrast, each Dane only eats 23 kg
of poultry and fish meat. Denmark is all one
of the largest exporter of pork. There are over
5,000 pig farms in Denmark and around 28
million pigs are slaughtered every year at
production plants and privately owned plants.
Every year 10 million pigs are exported from
Denmark, mainly to Germany, UK, Poland,
Japan, Italy, Russia and Sweden.
The "Frikadelle" (meatballs) is a national dish
believed to have been cooked since 1648.
The first recipe of this delicious dish dates
back to 1837. The meatballs are made of
pure pork and served with potatoes, pickled
beetroot, sour preserved cucumber and
brown sauce.

ADOBO
ENGLISH
ADOBO
1/2 kilo pork cut in cubes + 1/2 kilo chicken,
cut into pieces; or choice of either 1 kilo of
pork or 1 kilo of chicken
1 head garlic, minced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup vinegar
2 cups of water
1 teaspoon paprika
5 laurel leaves (bay leaves)
4 tablespoons of cooking oil or olive oil
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons water
BACKGROUND
Adobo is a dish and cooking process in
Philippine cuisine that involves slow cooking of pork, chicken or fish in a marinade
of vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaf and garlic.
While the name is taken from Spanish, the
process is indigenous to the Philippines. This
method of cooking perhaps became popular
centuries ago, out of a need to prolong the
shelf life of food, as the country has a warm
climate. Adobo can last up to 7 days without
refrigeration.
When the Spanish invaded the Philippines
in the late 16th century, they encountered a
cooking process that involved stewing with
vinegar. They referred to this method as
adobo due to its superficial similarity to the
Spanish adobo.
Adobo is eaten with rice, the staple food in
many Asian countries. It is among the most
popular food in the Philippines, so popular
that it earned the moniker, “The National
Meal.” It is an iconic symbol of the country
along with the mango, bamboo, milkfish and
carabao (water buffalo).
The dish also uses the country’s local ingredients – cane vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic
–giving it the distinct Filipino flavor
In a big sauce pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil then sauté the minced garlic
and onions.
Add the pork and chicken to the pan. Add 2
cups of water, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, vinegar,
paprika and the bay leaves. Bring to a boil.
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or when
meat is tender.
Remove the pork and chicken from the sauce
pan and on another pan, heat cooking oil
and brown the pork and chicken for a few
minutes.
Mix the browned pork and chicken back to
the sauce and add cornstarch dissolved in
water to thicken.
Add salt and/or pepper if desired
Bring to a boil then simmer for an additional
5 minutes.
Serve hot with the adobo gravy and rice.

ADOBO
DANSK
ADOBO
½ kilo svinekød (skåret i tern)
½ kilo kylling (skåret i stykker)
1 fed hvidløg, hakket
½ løg, hakket
½ kop sojasauce
1 kop eddike
2 kopper vand
1 teske paprika
5 laurbærblade
4 spiseskeer madlavningsolie eller olivenolie
2 spiseskeer majsstivelse
Salt og peber
3 spiseske vand
BAGGRUND
Adobo er en ret og en madlavningsproces i det filippinske køkken, der involverer
langsom tilberedning af svinekød, kylling
eller fisk i en marinade af eddike, sojasauce,
laurbærblade og hvidløg. Selvom navnet er
spansk, hører madlavningsprocessen oprindeligt til Filippinerne. Det er muligt, at denne
madlavningsproces kom til for flere hundrede
år siden, som en metode til at forlænge
fødevarernes holdbarhed under de varme
klimaforhold. Adobo har en holdbarhed på
op til 7 dage uden for køleskabet.
Da spanierne invaderede Filippinerne i slutningen af det 16. århundrede, stødte de på
denne madlavningsproces, der involverede
en madlavningstilberedelse med eddike. De
henviste til denne metode som adobo på
baggrund af dens øjensynlige lighed med
den spanske adobo.
Adobo spises med ris, det primære tilbehør i
mange asiatiske lande. Ris er blandt de mest
populære fødevarer i Filippinerne – så populært at det har fået tilnavnet ”Det nationale
måltid”. Det er blevet et ikonisk symbol på
landet på linje med mango, bambus, mælkefisk og carabao (vandbøffel).
Retten gør også brug af landets lokale ingredienser, såsom sukkerrørseddike, sojasauce
og hvidløg, som giver retten et filippinsk
præg
Opvarm 2 spiseskeer olie i en stor pande
eller en wok og svits løg og hvidløg. Tilsæt
svinekødet og kyllingen. Tilsæt derefter 2
kopper vand, ¼ kop sojasauce, eddike, paprika og laurbærblade. Bring det i kog. Læg
låg på og lad det simre i 30 minutter eller ind
til kødet er mørt.
Fjern svinekødet og kyllingen fra panden
eller wokken og læg det på en ny pande for
at brune det i et par minutter. Tilsæt derefter
kødet til saucen igen og tilsæt majsstivelsen
(udrørt i vand) for at jævne saucen.
Tilsæt salt og peber og lad det koge i endnu
5 minutter.
Retten serveres varm sammen med saucen
og ris som tilbehør.

MANTI
ENGLISH
Recipe:
4 persons
• For the dough: 2 cups of flour, ½
teaspoon of salt, 1 egg, lightly beaten
• For the filling: 1 small onion, grated, 1
pound ground beef or veal, 1/3 cup of
chopped fresh parsley, salt, freshly
ground pepper
• Yogurt and garlic sauce: 2 cups of
yogurt, at room temperature, 2-3
teaspoons of minced garlic, salt
• Pepper topping: 2 tablespoons of butter,
1 teaspoon of Aleppo pepper, 1
teaspoon of mint and pinch of sumac,
optional
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Mantı are a type of dumpling in Turkish and
various Central Asian, Northwest Chinese,
and Caucasian cuisines, closely related to
the east Asian mantou, baozi, and mandu
and the Nepali momo. Mantu were carried
across Central Asia to Anatolia by migrating
Turks in the Chingizid-Timurid periods.
Turkic and Mongol horsemen on the move
are supposed to have carried frozen or dried
manti, which could be quickly boiled over a
camp-fire". In Turkey it is also called Tatar
böregi (Tatar bureks), which indicates its
relation to nomadic peoples.
A mid-15th century Ottoman recipe survives,
with the manti filled with pounded lamb and
Preparation
crushed chickpeas, steamed, and served
topped with yogurt mixed with crushed garlic
and sprinkled with sumac.
Manti are popular throughout the former
Soviet Union, where the dish spread from
the Central Asian republics.
Manti is popular traditional dish for
Armenian, Azerbaijani, Kazakh, Kyrgyz,
Tajik and Afghan cuisine.In Turkish cuisine,
manti are typically served topped with yogurt
and garlic and spiced with red pepper
powder and melted butter, and topped with
ground sumac and/or dried mint by the
consumer.
Prepare the dough by making a well in the
flour, and adding the salt, egg, and ¼ cup of
water in the centre. By using your fingers,
work the ingredients together until dough is
formed. If you need, you can add more
water a spoonful at a time. Knead the dough
on a lightly floured surface until it gets
smooth and elastic. Gather into a ball, place
in a bowl, cover, and let it rest for an hour.
Prepare the filling by mixing together in a
bowl the grated onion, meat, parsley, salt,
and pepper to taste. Set aside.
In a small bowl combine the yoghurt and
garlic, with salt to taste, if desired. Let them
sit at room temperature until ready to
use.Divide the dough into 2 balls. Roll out
one ball of dough at a time on a lightly
floured surface until very thin (about 1/16
inches).
The secret of good dough is to roll it in
different directions, not just in one direction.
Cut strips 1 inch wide and then cut into 1
inch squares. Place about a ½ teaspoon of
filling in the center of each square. Bring the
four corners together over the filling and
pinch to seal. Continue making manti until
all the dough and filling are used. Place the
manti on a lightly floured surface to lightly
coat them.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil
and in half the manti. As soon as they are
cooked they will rise to the surface. Remove
them from the pot with a slotted spoon and
place in a serving bowl or individual bowls
with a tiny bit of the cooking liquid. Cover to
keep warm while cooking the remaining
manti.
Pour most of the yogurt sauce over the
manti saving the rest to pass in a serving
dish. Quickly heat the butter in a small skillet
and when the butter is sizzling hot, quickly
add the pepper, mixing well.
Remove from the heat and drizzle over the
yogurt sauce. Sprinkle with sumac if
desired. Serve manti at once with yogurt
sauce.

ROSQUETES
4 persons
slices of dry bread
milk
eggs
cinnamon
sugar
olive oil to fry the rosquetes.
Soak the slices of bread in tepid milk. Once the slices are soft take
them out of the milk and dip them in the beaten eggs.
Fry the slices in olive oil until they get a nice brown colour (we use
olive oil but any other oil can be used).
In the past this dish was made out of the dry bread
(left-over) and was one of the ways that our
mothers had to use this old bread.
It is a simple dish made all over Spain but in our
Valencian Community is very usual to eat it during
Easter, in Ash Wednesday.
Sometimes the ROSQUETES can be also eaten as
breakfast or as a midday snack.
Once the slices are already fried and gold put them (one by one)
in a dish with sugar. Make sure that they are covered with sugar
for all sides.
The final product is, by all means, a very nutritive, healthy and
solid dessert.

//BULGARIA
SARALIISKA BANITSA
ENGLISH
INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs flour
1/2 cup walnut kernels
4 cups sugar
6 cups water, vanilla
A pinch of salt
2 tbsp butter
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
PREPARATION:
Banitsa (Bulgarian: Баница, also transliterated as banica and banitza) is a
traditional Bulgarian food prepared by layering a mixture of whisked eggs and
pieces of cheese between filo pastry and then baking it in an oven.
Traditionally, lucky charms are put into the pastry on certain occasions, particularly
on New Year’s Eve. These charms may be coins or small symbolic objects (e.g., a
small piece of a dogwood branch with a bud, symbolizing health or longevity).
More recently, people have started writing happy wishes on small pieces of paper
and wrapping them in tin foil. Wishes may include happiness, health, or success
throughout the new year.
Banitsa is served for breakfast with plain yogurt, ayran, or boza. It can be eaten hot
or cold. Some varieties include banitsa with spinach(spanachena banitsa) or the
sweet version, banitsa with milk (mlechna banitsa) or pumpkin (tikvenik).
Combine the flour, salt and 3 cups water and knead a
medium-hard dough. Roll into thin sheets (makes about
10). You can also use filo dough sheets from the store
instead. Baste each sheet with butter and top with crushed
walnut kernels. Roll the sheet and arrange either
lengthwise or in a circle in a better-lined dish. Bake for
about 35 minutes in 375 F oven. After it has cooled pour
over the hot syrup made from combining sugar, 3 cups of
water and vanilla.

APPLE CAKE
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Apples have been part of the Danish cooking since the Middle Ages. At that time, the
apples grown locally were not as sweet, as
they are today, and the access to apples
depended on the season. A common usage
of the apples was dried apple rings and as
flavoring in meat dishes and porridge. When
the stove became a standard in middleclass
households in the middle of the 19th century,
people started using apples as garniture.
It was also at this time that the apple cake
with breadcrumbs and whipped cream was
invented. Today it is a part of the traditional
cake table.
ENGLISH
APPLE CAKE
APPLE SAUCE
1 portion of apple sauce
150 g breadcrumbs
85 g sugar
50 g butter
2 ½ dl double cream
Apple or redcurrant jelly
1 kg of apples
1 vanilla pod
½ dl water
80-160 g sugar (depending on the sweetness
of the apples)
Prepare a portion of apple sauce and cool it.
Mix breadcrumbs and sugar. Melt the butter
on a pan, add the mix of breadcrumbs and
sugar and toast it until it is crispy. Cool it. Put
the apple sauce and the breadcrumbs stratified in a bowl with the breadcrumbs as the
final layer. Whip the cream and put it on top
of the cake. Decorate with jelly.
Tip: Macaroons can be mixed with or replace
the breadcrumbs. Chopped almonds can be
mixed with the apple sauce.
Pare the apples, cut them in pieces and
remove the core. Boil the apples with the
vanilla pod and water at a moderate temperature until they are tender (approximately
10 min.). Remove the vanilla pod. Blend the
apples into a sauce and add the preferred
amount of sugar.

GAMMELDAGS ÆBLEKAGE
HISTORISK BAGGRUND
Æbler har været en del af den danske
madlavning siden middelalderen. På det
tidspunkt var æblesorterne ikke nær så søde,
som de er i dag, og adgangen til æbler var
sæsonpræget. En udbredt anvendelse af
æblerne var tørrede æbleringe eller som
smagsgiver i kødretter og grød. Da komfuret
blev almindeligt i de borgerlige husholdninger i midten af 1800-tallet begyndte man
at anvende æblet som garniture i and, går
og steg. Det var også på dette tidspunkt,
at æblekagen med rasp og flødeskum blev
opfundet. Den er i dag en del af det traditionelle kagebord.
DANSK
ÆBLEKAGE
ÆBLEMOS
1 portion æblemos
ca. 150 g rasp eller tvebakker
85 g sukker
50 g smør
2 ½ dl piskefløde
Evt. æblegele eller ribsgele
1 kg æbler
1 vaniljestang
½ dl vand
ca. 80-160 g sukker (afhængigt af æblernes
sødme)
Lav en portion æblemos og lad den køle
af. Bland rasp eller knuste tvebakker og
sukker. Smelt smør på en pande, tilsæt
raspblandingen og rist den til den er sprød
og gylden. Afkøl raspen (husk at røre i den
af og til). Læg æblemos og rasp lagvis i en
skål. Øverste lag skal være rasp. Pisk fløden
til flødeskum og pynt kagen med flødeskum
og gele.
Tip: Man kan blande makroner i raspen.
Makronerne kan også anvendes i stedet
for rasp. Hakkede mandler kan blandes i
æblemosen.
Skræl æblerne, skær dem i både og fjern
kernehus, blomst og stilk. Kog æbler, vaniljestang og vand under låg ved svag varme til
de er møre (ca. 10 min). Fjern vaniljestangen
efter kogningen og pisk eller blend herefter
æblerne til mos. Smag til med sukker.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Marshmallows are seen as something
typical American – but their roots were
elsewhere: In ancient Egypt, the original
marshmallow plant (”Althaea Officinalis”)
was used as a medicinal substance to treat
sore throats. It later came to France, where
in early 19th century it was turned into a
confection.
At the beginning of the 20th century, gelatin
replaced the marshmallow root to make it
cheaper and easier to produce.
In the USA, marshmallows are very popular
at Thanksgiving, where they cover sweet
potatoe dishes like this one, or they are
roasted on sticks at a campfire.
