Culinary Dictionary: Letter Z

Our culinary dictionary has come to an end and I’m not so sure what I would do with my Thursdays from now on. I could of course just post recipes but I have gotten used to this themed Thursday thing. I would really appreciate suggestions as to what to do with Thursdays. Any ideas or inspirations would be greatly welcomed. What would you like to see here every Thursday?

Thanks you so much, very dear readers, for being such wonderful Thursday companions. It’s been a ton of fun.

Za’atar/Zahtar: Middle Eastern mix of Ground roasted sesame seeds, dried herbs and spices.

Zakuska: Russian-style assortment hors d’oeuvres usually shellfish, smoked salmon,
caviar and cheeses.

Zeitoun/ Zaitoun: Arabic for olives–zeit zeitoun is olive oil.

Zingara (à la/alla): Means « Gypsy –style » and refers to a chicken, beef or turkey dish cooked with ham, chopped tongue and mushrooms in tomato sauce.

The End


Letters A, B, C, D, E , F, G, H , I , J, K, L , M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z.

    Well done! I have learned a lot from your Thursday writings and I am now a huge fan of agave …..where have I been?

    Maybe you could go through a list of spices and how they can be used?
    Just a thought, have a great day!
