Dalle querce dell'isola di Keas una risorsa abbandonata ...e secolare...rinasce...

The word balanoculture is the offspring of a mixed marriage between Greek βάλανος (balanos = acorn) and Latin cultura. It means a society in which the collection, storage, preparation, and consumption of acorns as a foodstuff play a large role.
  
Hesiod - 8oo BC

"the earth bears them victuals in plenty; on the mountains the oak bears acorns upon the top and bees in the midst."

From Germany to Crete...We are looking not only for high quality products, but also for charismatic cretan peoples, who love speaking about their products and work and like to chare their daily life.

 

Dear Slow Food Team in Greece,

we are a german television production, who are shooting a culinary series for the french-german broadcast arte.
http://www.zeroone.de/zero/index.php?id=571&L=3

For our series with the german cook Sarah Wiener, I am looking for a very authentic farmerfamily on Crete, who produce extra native oliveoil and other products from olives. It would be great, if they have an stone mill and do all the work by hand.
Our concept for this programm is: the search for the roots of taste. We are looking not only for high quality products, but also for charismatic cretan peoples, who love speaking about their products and work and like to chare their daily life.
We want to shoot at the olive harvest in decembre 2012.

Do you have an idea?

Thanks a lot

your sincerely
Marion Glaser

10 Harmful Food Additives to Avoid

Attention shoppers! Read the label, then steer clear of these additives.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

Commonly found in Chinese food, MSG is used as a flavor enhancer in soups, salad dressings, chips and frozen foods. In people who are senstive to the compound, MSG can overexcite cells, producing uncomfortable symptoms for your body. Research has shown a correlation between the overconsumption of foods containing MSG and medical conditions such as depression, disorientation, eye damage, fatigue, headaches, and obesity.

BHA and BHT

Although these additives may prevent your food from changing color, losing flavor, or becoming rancid, it has been suggested they can increase your chances of getting cancer

Μπύρα ή Κρασί ;

 


Σύγκριση κεκραμμένου οίνου (κρασιού) με κρίθινο οίνο (μπύρα)

Στην Αρχαία Ελλάδα θεωρούσαν τη μπύρα ποτό κατώτερης ποιότητας από το κρασί!

Στη νεότερη παράδοση έπιναν μόνο κρασί και μάλιστα στους μήνες, που δεν έχουν «ρ», πρόσθεταν περισσότερο νερό!
