Taste of Schenectady® and Beyond Fall-Winter 2019
It’s a time to enjoy the snow with the kids, or as a couple! It’s a time to dress warmer and to wear those thicker outfits that can pass as smart casual—just in case you stay out late for an event.
Whether you cook at home or dine out, this issue of Taste of Schenectady® and Beyond magazine is designed to inspire you to break outside your comfort zone.
Our editorial focus this year has been on the Indian subcontinent. In that respect, we have slowly worked our way around to publishing the truth about the Greek influence upon the MENA and Near East. Forget about Alexander The Great—the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC), and its Greek and Russian relatives borrowed and introduced flavors around the world.
Where’s the beef? In this issue, we have featured Brazilian churrasco, as well as Greek, Pakistani & Indian subcontinent foods, and seekh lamb kebabs...In order to make these dishes at home, it is vital to have the right kitchen design. Recently, we added a new station to our Taste of Schenectady® Food Lab. We found a Hallmark Frost Lazy Susan Base Cabinet (MSRP $477) at the Schdy RESTORE for $40.
With the help of Mitchell’s Moving and our friends, we built an L-shape coun- tertop for the cabinet base—this station now serves as our new BakeLabStation/ Sashimi & Sushi Bar (story on page 36).
We call fusion-mixed ingredients to make sashimi/sushi (either cold or hot), “Fishushi” — combining traditional ethnic foods with rediscovered artisan foods to produce a new trend in eating.
What I like about Schenectady is many business owners are seeking to exceed
our expectations... Schenectady Trading Company is a store retailing local heritage, products & talent. Think souvenir/gift shop
meets indoor farmers’ market plus fresh coffee. Why limit these pursuits to week- end festivals and farmers’ markets?
Enjoy the articles and recipes in this issue. But most importantly please patronize lo- cal businesses, and don’t forget to tip your servers for their excellent service.
Thanks for reading Taste of Schenectady®
