The Culinary Arts: FAQ 

Did you know that the term “culinarian” describes culinary art professionals, or that the first cookbook was written on clay tablets in the 1700's BC?

Last we had the opportunity to delve into a full view of the culinary arts, and that conversation encouraged questions regarding the culinary arts.

This week, we take a look at some of the most frequently asked questions coupled with a few thought provoking views of the culinary arts with Debbie Cockrell, a seasoned "culinarian".

 How To: Prep' Sweet Spicy Garlic & Ginger Flavoured Wings

Every week we look to further equip ourselves in the kitchen, and we are giving you the platform to educate us on some of the finest dishes prepared in your African homes.

This week, we will learn how to prepare sweet spicy garlic & ginger flavoured wings with chef Resha of the Carnaldish Channel. Chef Resha provides a great method for getting crispy-skinned chicken wings in the oven without any added fats, tossed in a flavourful glaze full of spice, sweetness, tanginess and freshness. 

 Fun Fact: Hot Chocolate Described by Africans

We all know hot chocolate as the warm, rich drink we enjoy on a cold night whilst exposed to a form of external heat such as a heater or even a fire.

The origins of this warm beverage date far back as early as 500 BC, the Mayans were drinking chocolate made from ground-up cocoa seeds mixed with water, cornmeal, and chili peppers (as well as other ingredients), a much different version from the hot chocolate we know today.

The advancements of hot chocolate have seen the now sweetened beverage enjoyed in the midst of various African homes.

With that being said, how we Africans refer to hot chocolate, do we have a name for it in our native language?
