5000 years of culinary history in a 300 Grams Jar
I have toyed with the idea of marinades for a long time. "Vasudhaiwa kutumbakam" Sanskrit: the whole world is one family...My mum used to teach us a children. The fragmented world we live in today with its complexities of beliefs , customs and traditions baffles me sometimes. After all there are certain things which people do irrespective of boundaries and identities. Cooking and enjoying good food is undeniably a major one. How amazing will it be if households in the West use Eastern cooking techniques and households in the East use Western techniques. I feel it will definitely bridge the gap and give us a much better understanding of each other. If I can I would encourage warring nations to hold food festivals showcasing each others cuisines. Israelites and Palestinians, the Koreans countries, Indians and Pakistanis...the list goes on. If nothing it will help bring misunderstood and divided people together. Feasting together is the greatest form of bonding.
