Garlic

-
 Garlic is commonly known and used in each kitchen everyday. It was used for ages, usually as a vampire repellent, natural medicine for cold or a condiment (especially in Mediterranean and Asian cuisine).
Although it is hard to prove its influence on vampires, it is known that garlic is truly helpful in both preventing and treating cold, due to high content of vitamin C and the fact that it stimulates production of interferon. The research confirmed that it also lowers the blood pressure and levels of cholesterol.
Another prosperity attached to eating garlic is the fact that you do not have to eat a lot to notice positive changes in your health condition. It is enough to ingest 2 to 3 cloves per day. You can cut it or crush it as it expedites the absorption of the beneficial components. In fact, too much garlic can be toxic – the recommended intake is below 7 coves (what is about 20 g).
Garlic can be used to replace salt in everyday cooking what is a great solution if you have problems with too high blood pressure.

    Questions:
    1. Do the properties of garlic change when it's been cooked?
    2. Any advice about how to cope with the smell, which some people hate?
    You probably meant 'PROPERTY', not 'prosperity'?
    I appreciate the understatement when you talk about vampires.

Would you like to work in the Madarin Oriental?

-
I would not like to work in this hotel because I do not think that I could find common ground with people who come there. They come from a very eccentric entourage with a specific hierarchy of priorities. In my opinion most of guests place money in the foreground and believe that if you are rich you can get almost everything. My attitude is actually an opposite - I claim that there is plenty of things that are more valuable. The Mandarin Oriental is not a place for me because I do not think that I could get on well with its guests.

Ginger root

Obraz
Ginger's been known in many cultures for its anti-inflammatory properties, it can significantly improve immunity. Used in alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms, for example it can prevent motion sickness or morning sickness during pregnancy. Ginger also enhances nutrient absorption. It can reduce various types of muscle pain, e.g. muscle soreness and is also said to significantly relieve menstrual cramps. Due to a high volatile acids (antibacterial and antiviral) content, it strengthens the body's defence mechanisms. Personally, I use ginger most often when I'm sick, as it helps fight infections. Next to the volatile acids, it contains a lot of vitamin C and minerals. The easiest way to use it (especially when you're sick and do not have energy to do anything more advanced) is making ginger infused water - some people call it 'ginger tea'.. However, to extract as much as possible from the root, eat it with a high-protein meal. https://www.livestrong.c

Taste the World Festival

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00082dp The podcast is a relation from a culinary event where music and dance play an important role. It shows an amazing relation between food and culture if various ethnic groups from different parts of the world. In today's world, in the era of globalization, we can try different countries' cuisine without travelling further than to the city centre. It is an amazing opportunity to broaden one's cultural horizons and eat some delicious and extraordinary foods. However, I think it would be a huge loss for us if we gave up all the historical and sometimes even philosophical aspects of ethnic food. Originally, the process of preparing a dish might have been long and complexed and many 'oriental' restaurants, omnipresent in the streets of most western cities, just deprive their meals of the initial meaning and just play with foreign spices. Obviously, it does not mean that all the things we eat have to be authentic and have a spirit
