Best of Brazil chef Rafael Costa e Silva It would be easy to tell you that chef Rafael Costa e Silva uses only ingredients from Rio de Janeiro state for his multi-course tasting menus at Lasai, and that many of those ingredients come from the chef’s own gardens. I could wax poetic about the airy modern feel of the town-house dining room and the vaguely Basque inspiration for the cooking. But none of those descriptions really do justice to the feel of this place, its subtle, delicious exuberance. There’s a studied vibrancy to everything that hits the table at Lasai, from the brightly flavored fruit-based cocktails to the elegant, architecturally plated dishes served throughout the evening to the diverse and thoughtfully chosen wine pairings. Mini empanadas, their casing dyed magenta and tasting of sweet beets, are stuffed with a luscious cashew filling; local fish is paired with hearts of palm and creamy coconut. Dishes arrive in a colorful whirlwind and leave you giddy. Costa e Silva is a master at contrasts, of hue and flavor and texture—everything tastes bright and vital. Eating there makes you feel bright and vital. What more could you want? lasai.com.br
From Orlando in St Lucia With all the love “Welcome to Orlando’s! I’m Orlando.” This, along with a fist-bump, is the way your meal at Orlando’s is likely to start, with chef-owner Orlando Satchell welcoming you to his domain as if it were his home. Tucked into the hillside amongst the riotously colorful rooftops of Soufrière is a restaurant that beautifully expresses the spirit of St. Lucia and makes full use of the tropical produce and foodways of the Caribbean. It’s obvious that Satchell comes from the luxury-hospitality world—he worked in London hotels and then at Soufrière’s Ladera Resort before opening Orlando’s in 2012, and his plating is reminiscent of the upscale wedding food of the ’80s—in a really fun way! But his flavors are anything but retro. Soup made with local breadfruit and smoked fish is blended with coconut milk for a creamy, silky finish. Needlefish is battered and fried and served over a salsa made from sweet potato. Satchell’s dishes almost all have an element of sweetness, the tang of acid, and something hearty to ground the other elements. The brightly hued room is usually full of large family groups, taking advantage of the set menu and the endless hospitality of Satchell and his staff. instagram.com/orlandosstlucia
Best Traditional America Dishes American Best traditional USA dishes: Top 10 must-try American foods Everyone argues about where you'll find the best burger in America. 3. Clam Chowder It is basically illegal to visit Boston without trying New England clam chowder. The fragrant soup is sold everywhere, and it looks hideous, being white and lumpy. But one taste is all it takes to fall in love. Whoever decided to mix the quahog shellfish with tender potatoes, salted pork, heavy cream and herbs is a total genius. There are many ways to eat it, but you may as well go all out and get a bread bowl at the Atlantic Fish Co., where the chefs carve out a cavity in a fresh boule, pour in the heavenly juice, then put the top back on. Edible dinnerware. 4. Bagel and Lox Trying to narrow New York down to a single representative cuisine is a fool's errand. A Nathan's hot dog? Pastrami from Katz's? A bad cup of diner coffee? Let's pay respects to the city's strong Jewish population and go with bagels and lox, a weekend staple on many Manhattan tables. Scientific studies have been conducted trying to work out why the New York bagel reigns supreme over all others; legend attributes it to the water. Whatever the cause, head to Russ and Daughters on the Lower East Side and tell them you want a selection of smoked fish, cream cheeses and, if you're feeling flash, caviar. See russanddaughters.com. Russ & Daughters, New York. 5. Deep-Dish Pizza Pizza in Chicago looks and tastes different. The dish is deep, as the name suggests, meaning the crust rises high and allows for an artery-choking volume of cheese and tomato sauce. Unsurprisingly, they call it a "pie". It is not for the lighthearted and should only be attempted while wearing dark clothes or a large napkin. For a particularly authentic meal, pair the pie with sugary soda. You might like to do this at an Uno Pizzeria, which claims to have invented the Italian American hybrid dish in 1943. 6. Drop Biscuits and Sausage Gravy A biscuit in America means, essentially, a flaky scone often made with lard and buttermilk. In places such as Montana, where people burn energy working on horse ranches, biscuits are eaten at breakfast smothered in a thick white gravy that is studded with bits of sausage. It certainly wakes you up in the morning. For a fun twist, try a musical version in Austin, Texas, where Biscuits and Groovy offers varies with names like "the Aretha Franklin" (maple bacon, colby jack cheese). 7. Texas Barbecue Australians might like to stoke up a barbie on the weekend, but Texans live and die by the practice. Mesquite smoked meats and tenderising rubs are common obsessions, and it is not uncommon to go to football games and find people have brought entire ranges to the parking lots that are worth upwards of five or even ten thousand dollars – a pastime called "tailgating". For excellent brisket, head to the Dallas Farmers Market, stand in line for a bit, then find a seat at Pecan Lodge. Also good are the pork links, pulled pork, beef ribs and collard greens. Basically everything. See pecanlodge.com. Texas barbecue, family style. Photo: Alamy 8. Hominy Grits Southern food seems to exist in its own universe, and an entire list could be written just focusing on things like chicken and waffles (yes, you read that correctly). So perhaps it's a good idea to just go with one of the basics: hominy grits, which is essentially corn milled into a rough powder and then boiled up with butter or bacon grease. It sounds rough but it's actually sublime. For proof, try Blossom Restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina, which offers Geechie Boy grits with shrimp and andouille sausage. Pair it with brussels sprouts and sweetened ice tea. See blossomcharleston.com. Hominy Grill restaurant, Charleston, South Carolina. 9. Tacos Los Angeles is a city with a taqueria on every street corner, basically. With so many Spanish-speakers it's possible to find anything from greasy nachos on Venice Beach to exquisite Michoacan-style goat stews. For a good sampler, forget the chain stuff and try El Huarache Azteca, a tiny, no-fuss eatery in the neighbourhood of Highland Park, where menus run the full gamut from fajitas to mole verde and "flautas" – fried crisp taquitos stuffed with chicken. (Guacamole is a no-brainer.) Keep in mind that Mexican food and Tex-Mex are two very different things. Chicken taquitos served on a bed of lettuce topped with sauce, salsa and cheese. Photo: Alamy 10. Thanksgiving So "thanksgiving" isn't technically a food, but it's such a legendary date on the American culinary calendar (the fourth Thursday of each November), that it needs to be acknowledged. Officially, the holiday is about friends and family, but everybody knows it's really about turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, green bean casserole and bellyaches. While the recipes, like most things on this list, seem custom-made to give you a heart-attack or diabetes, they're all delicious, and taken together create one of the most ridiculous and enjoyable feasts you could ever attend. Many restaurants offer a menu, for the most special option is always a friend's house, even if they burn the bird.
Dinner Food USA : American Foods Idea Face Dinner Food in USA: American Foods Idea What are the dinner food in USA? The answer is really simple. Foods, that average Americans eat for dinner can be considered as dinner foods in the USA. The list of American dinner foods is not short. We can see many foods they usually eat for dinner. We have a conception that they always eat hamburgers, French fries, and junk foods. Survey says, Americans spend 10% of their disposable income on fast food every year.^[1] But, there is hope that everyone is different. Many people in the USA like to have their dinner with healthy foods. In this discussion, we will know what foods an American eats for dinner. “American cuisine was influenced by Europeans and Native Americans in its early history. Today, several foods are commonly identified as American.” However, today’s focal point of the discussion is only the dinner foods in the USA, not the origin of the foods. Traditional Dinner Foods in USA “Meat and potatoes of various styles dominate dinner plate in the USA…”^[2] Americans usually choose meat, potatoes, bread, cheese, macaroni for their dinner. Here are some popular dinner foods in the USA. This list will help you to know what an American eats for dinner. 1. Meatloaf Meatloaf is a popular dinner dish to an American. It is a baked recipe.

Baking powder vs. baking soda How they’re different, which to use when and more Baking powder and baking soda are two of the most important ingredients on the baker’s shelf. The advent of these chemical leaveners — as opposed to relying on naturally occurring yeast or the extensive beating of air into eggs or batter — put reliable, convenient baking into the hands of even the most novice cook. The fact that they serve a similar purpose, and overlap in their composition, can be confusing. While both are used to generate rise in baked goods, they work in slightly different ways with different ingredients. Subbing one for the other, without accounting for those differences, can prove disastrous. Here’s what you need to know about these pantry staples. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. It is alkaline, which means it has a pH above the neutral 7 and reacts with acidic ingredients. Think about the old baking soda-and-vinegar school experiment. Baking powder is an all-in-one leavener, meaning it includes baking soda and the “exact amount of acid to use up all the soda,” Shirley Corriher says in “CookWise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Cooking.” Baking powder also includes a hefty amount of cornstarch, which helps absorb moisture to stave off premature reactions, as some of the acids in baking powder are activated in the presence of liquid. How they work. Both leaveners work when they are broken down and release carbon dioxide. That gas is what contributes to the rise of baked goods. “Neither chemical leaveners nor steam create a single new bubble. They only enlarge bubbles that already exist in the dough,” Corriher says in “BakeWise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Baking.” That means that adding them to your dough or batter won’t automatically make them rise. You must still pay attention to the mixing method in a recipe, such as creaming butter and sugar, to create the air bubbles that the leaveners will inflate. Baking soda will begin acting immediately in the presence of an acid, which means you need to act quickly with recipes that rely on it alone. While buttermilk, citrus and yogurt are obvious triggers, baking employs a variety of other acidic ingredients that you should be aware of, including honey, brown sugar, molasses and chocolate. How much to use. Corriher says she finds many recipes are over-leavened. People seem to think that fallen cakes, for example, mean they need more leavening, but the opposite is true. “The bubbles get big, float to the top and pop. The baked goods get heavy and fall,” she says. Another problem is taste, which can be an issue if there’s too much soda or insufficiently mixed baking powder, says Harold McGee in “On Food and Cooking.” The result? “A bitter, soapy, or ‘chemical’ flavor.” A good rule of thumb, according to Corriher, is that 1 cup of flour can be leavened by ¼ teaspoon baking soda or 1 to 1¼ teaspoons of baking powder. Corriher says you can neutralize 1 cup mildly acidic ingredient (sour cream, buttermilk) with ½ teaspoon of soda. That same amount of soda will neutralize 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or 1¼ teaspoons of cream of tartar, McGee says. If you have a very heavy batter loaded with chopped dried fruit or nuts, you can try bumping up the leavening by 20 percent, Corriher says. If you’re changing the pan size in a recipe, from a deeper pan, such as a tube or Bundt, to something shallower, you’ll probably want to drop the leavener, too. And if you live at a high altitude, reducing it (and making other adjustments) is almost a given. For every teaspoon of baking powder, suggests the Colorado State University Extension, reduce by ⅛ teaspoon at 3,500 to 6,500 feet; ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon at 6,500 to 8,500 feet; and ¼ teaspoon at 8,500 to 10,000 feet. Another option at a higher altitude, King Arthur Baking says, is to aim for a less vigorous reaction, by using milk and baking powder, for instance, instead of buttermilk and baking Are they interchangeable? In a word, no. Because baking soda needs an acid with which to react and baking powder already contains it, they can’t be used in place of each other, at least not without making other adjustments to the recipe. One of the most illustrative examples of the difference has to do with cocoa powder. Natural cocoa is inherently acidic, so baking soda will work well with it. Dutch-process cocoa powder, though, has been treated to reduce its acidity, or alkalized, meaning there’s nothing for the soda to react with, which is why baking powder is typically needed in recipes using it. Baking powder and soda don’t have equal potency when compared by equal volumes, given the other ingredients added to the powder. As detailed above, you need four times as much baking powder to generate the same lift as baking soda. That being said, there are ways to swap. If you’re out of baking powder, Corriher recommends mixing a batch of 1 tablespoon baking soda, 2 tablespoons cream of tartar and 1½ tablespoons cornstarch. Because of the fast-acting cream of tartar, this won’t be the same as double-acting baking powder, so be sure to work quickly. You can also get around the substitution issue by adjusting the acidity of your other ingredients and the amount of the leavener, says Lauren Chattman in “The Baking Answer Book.” Biscuits are one scenario. “If your recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of baking powder and ¾ cup of milk, you can adapt it by using ½ teaspoon baking soda and ¾ cup of buttermilk,” Chattman says. Need to use natural cocoa powder instead of Dutch process? “Replace the baking powder with one-quarter the amount of baking soda for an equivalent result.” Why recipes might call for both. In recipes that call for both baking powder and soda, the powder is generally doing the heavy lifting, so to speak. The baking soda is there to help neutralize additional acid in the dough or batter to avoid interfering with the self-contained reaction created by the powder, says Chattman. The baking soda has an additional benefit. Corriher notes that foods that are too acidic won’t brown well. That browning generated by the Maillard reaction, in which sugars and proteins interact to create new flavor and aroma compounds, is what helps baked goods taste great. Cookie recipes especially take advantage of this baking soda asset. Another point worth noting: Cookies relying on baking soda will spread more because the ingredient neutralizes the acidity that would otherwise cause them to set faster. Storing. Keep both baking powder and baking soda sealed tightly, away from heat and humidity. I prefer canisters to boxes, and even if I purchase a box of baking soda, I typically transfer it to a canister I already have or another airtight container.The USDA’s FoodKeeper App says opened baking powder will last three to six months in the pantry after opening, baking soda six months. Keep in mind that using old leaveners can really ruin your baked goods. To test the viability, Corriher recommends mixing ¼ teaspoon baking powder into ½ cup very hot water or ¼ teaspoon baking soda into ½ cup very hot water mixed with ¼ teaspoon white vinegar. If you see fine bubbles, you’re good to go.

Regardless, the best pan that is suitable for use on a grill is the cast iron pan that is made up in a way to withstand any form of high temperature. For a while now, stainless steel has earned itself good prominence due to its durability when it is used for cooking purposes. It's known for its usefulness in cooking different varieties of food possesses the best heat distribution for cooking and is easy to clean and maintain after use. However, you may fall in love with your stainless steel pan due to its durability, but the tough question you should ask yourself is if your stainless steel pan can withstand a higher heat source such as a grill. Moreover, both the stove and a grill can be used as a source of preparing your food, but you should keep in mind that appliances are different from each other. A grill is known to spread heat throughout the surface when used for cooking, the reason why it's popularly referred to as a high-heat appliance. While the stove on the other hand is a modest heat cooking appliance that helps to balance up heat when cooking. Hence, there are different factors you should keep in mind when dealing with a pan on a grill. Are you a type used to cooking with a stovetop, but you're looking for a means to try and cook on a grill? Be assured that this article will put you through what you need to use your stainless steel pan on the grill. However, if you have it in mind to use your steel pan on the stove or grill, you should know the differences between both cooking types. Are Stovetops Different from a Grill? The stovetop type of cooking is the most popular source of cooking, it's found in almost every home. It is known to provide the necessary heat needed to prepare your food evenly without any issues attached. However, a grill is produced to prepare your food rapidly on its surface. In addition, it is known to cook food at a direct heat of around 600 Fahrenheit, while maintaining easy distribution across the surface, making it the best fit for the preparation of fried or roasted food to your taste, without any difficulty. Moreover, the grill can also be used as a source of heat for your pan or pot. Although care must be taken when it comes to using your pan on a grill, you will need to thread with caution, knowing fully well that the heat coming out from your grill can make it possible for your food or pan to get burned or be damaged. Hence, before using your stainless steel pan on your grill, you need to find out the best types of grills for your pans. Can I Use a Stainless Steel Pan on a Gas Grill? There are different types of grills for cooking, however, charcoal and gas grills are the most used grills in every home. Moreover, there is a need to keep in mind that stainless steel pans cannot be used on charcoal grills but can be used on a gas grill. Most times, the gas grill is a combination of a gas stove and a high-power wall oven. Most of the gas grills we have out there work at a range of 500-550F, which makes it perfect for your stainless steel pan to be used on it. However, you should keep in mind that stainless steel that has a plastic part should not be used on a gas grill to avoid damage. While the use of ceramic pans on a grill is not advisable, since it can lead to damage to the coated part. For What Reason am I not allowed to place Anyhow Pan on the Grill? Most times, the feature that makes your pan worthy to be used on a grill is the material they are been made from. The grills are known to work at a very high temperature which serves as a discrepancy on how the cooking stoves are known to work. You should have in mind that if you subject your pan to a high temperature that is not being constructed for, there is a tendency for it would get spoiled or damaged by the action of the heat involved. In addition, the effect of high-temperature change observed by the pan can cause the tin metal surface of your pan to expand or lose its shape. Even though it is reversible, however, when you expose your pan to excessive action from heat for a very long time, it may cause permanent damage to your pan. What Type of Pan Can be put on a Grill? There is a need to know that not every type of pan out there is made to be used on a gas grill. Even though stainless steel pans are known to be used on a grill, you should know that the constant use of your stainless steel pan on your grill would lead to permanent tints on your pan surface. With this in mind, we have provided a list of non-stainless steel pans that are suitable for use on your gas grills. Baking Pans Baking pans are known to be safe for use on a grill. They are known for their ability to withstand heat when subjected to a very high temperature inside an oven. Aluminum Pans This type of pan is known to be a very good conductor of heat. This is one reason why you see aluminum pan heat up very quickly when it is being used to cook food, another advantage attached to the use of aluminum pan is that it is easier and faster to use in the preparation of food. They are known to tolerate high temperatures for a while without being damaged, thus making an aluminum pan a better fit to opt for when choosing a pan to use on your gas grill. Cast Iron Pans Popularly regarded as the best pan that fits a grill. They help to distribute heat evenly around your pan while holding up the heat at a very high temperature. Moreover, the thick surface found on cast iron pans would help to retain heat for some time, creating an avenue for your food to be prepared perfectly. Types of Pan that Cannot be Used on a Grill? Non-Stick Pan The nonstick pan out there is known to possess a typical coating that is made up of silicone, Teflon, and sometimes sol-gel ceramic, which makes it possible to withstand high heat coming out from a grill. Hence, when it is been subjected to high heat, the nonstick pans produce high fumes and can easily burn your food. However, you must have it in mind not to use a non-stick pan on a grill, since it is well known to be a bad conductor of heat. Although when it is combined with a metal it's known to be a good conductor of heat e.g. the cooped cast iron, a popular kind of pan known for its durability and a good conductor of heat. Hence, if you are to use a nonstick pan for your grill, make sure it has a touch of steel alloy. Glass Pans The use of a glass pan for cooking on a grill is not advisable. Regardless of their temperature resistance, they are not made for cooking on a grill, especially when it is subjected to a grill having a high temperature that may cause damage to your glass pan. What are the Benefits of Using a Stainless Steel Pan? The stainless steel pan is the most used cooking utensil that can be found in almost every kitchen; here are some of its benefits. 1. Stainless steel pans are known to be sustainable and they allow even distribution of heat around the pan. 2. They are strong and durable when compared to other types of pans. 3. The steel is not heavy but very light at hand, making it easier to cook in every home. Frequently Asked Questions What types of handles are best fit for your pan usage on a grill? You should keep in mind that pans with metallic handles are the best fit when it comes to usage in the oven, on the grill, and in other intensive heat cooking utensils. However, the ones made of plastic, silicon, or wood handles are not known to be durable or strong enough for use on a grill. How can I keep my stainless steel pan safe? These are some ways in which you can follow to safeguard and protect your steel pans from getting spoiled or distorted Learn to use a spatula to remove your food from the pan, allow the pan to get cool, and then find a way to wash the pan to avoid easy damage. Adhering to the use of silicon or wooden materials to swirl your food inside your pan would help to avoid injuries due to burning or other types of accidents attached to the use of stainless steel on a grill. Finally, when you find out that your pan is still hot, learn to avoid placing it immediately on a cold surface, to avoid sudden temperature changes that can cause your pan.
