Hello. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to NH Outlook. |
| Preshow #1 Return to index of stories... |
What is a democracy? How does it work? How does it impact quality of life? That's the focus of this program. We'll even bring you a culinary taste of the melting pot that's America. |
| Intro Democracy 101 Return to index of stories... |
But first, Democracy 101. When a dictatorship collapses, how does a country rebuild itself into a democracy? That question applies not just to Iraq, but to many other nations including some that were part of the former Soviet Union. Among the most challenged but determined is the republic of Tajikistan, which sent a high-level delegation to New Hampshire earlier this month to learn about how an open society works. We'll talk about the Democracy 101 project in a moment. Richard Ager begins our coverage on tour with the delegation. |

Former U.S. Ambassador George Bruno and Professor Ted Howard for the Univeristy of New Hampshire Center for International Education.

| Intro Yankee Food Return to index of stories... |
What conversation about Democracy can be complete without a look at the melting pots in our kitchens. Here in the northeast, cooks are reknowned for their Yankee culinary traditions: food like chowder, lobster and New England boiled dinner. But Chip Neal has learned that Yankee cooking is changing. He sat down with Yankee Magazine's new food editer Amy Traverso at the Peterboro Diner. |
| Yankee Food Return to index of stories... |
Ally Intro Yankee food probably conjures up images in your mind of clam chowder, lobster, and new England boiled dinner, but Yankee cooking is changing. Chip Neal visited with Yankee Magazine's new food editor to find out how. VO ext Peterboro Diner Chip - Amy can you find Yankee Food at the Peterborough Diner? Amy - You can definitely find examples of yankee cooking. Pies are a yankee classic a lot of stuff that we call yankee cooking was really kind of what happened when british pilgrims encountered native Americans and sort of developed their own ways of cooking in this climate. But certain things that were quintessential british like pies continued. Here there's a haddock on the menu which is a classic new England dish everywhere you go in new England you'll find some influence of that original cooking. 6:25 so it's really a mix of the food stuffs that were available, their culture thay came from the british tradition, the harsh environment they needed food that could keep over the winter. So, all those things come together to create what we call yankee cooking. Chip VO Besides supervising Yankee's test kitchen and doing food presentations Amy Traverso's job is to expand the magazine's coverage of food in New England with more recipes, visits to good restaurants, and interviews with great chefs and entrepreneurs. 6:35 it seems that yankee cooking is sort of plain Well these were people who believed that food that was sort of sensual spicey designed to really be pleasurable was sort of offensive to God to really induldge in that sort of pleasure of eating was sinful. ** so food had to be good enough to eat but you didn't want it to be so good Like at the time the French cooking which was really all about pleasure was probably considered almost blasphemous so the food that evolved here was supposed to be plain and rather simple. Chip VO But that food continues to evolve as we become more and more ethnically diverse. so we live in this fairly dense geographic area where there have been a fair amount of immagrant groups and it's really interesting to see how the food of those immagrant groups get subsumed into the new England cooking and become part of what we call yankee cooking. Like portuguise sweet rolls appear in a lot of yankee cook books. 8:00 or kale soup which is traditionally portuguise After an immagrant group is around a certain amount of time people start to cook their foods they become familiar enough to feel like these are my foods too. It's happened with Italian food , portuguise food Chinese food and over time we will see influence of Cambodian food Tia food 19:00 What are some native foods here. We are doing article next thanksgiving looking at what the pilgrims actually ate.at the first thanksgiving We know they had jeruselem artichokes. Watercress wild game shell fish blueberries cranberries chessneuts hickory nuts I think we are seeing now the emergence of a new England regional cuisine which is based on local ingredients things native to this part of the country. That incorporate traditional methods of cooking but also allow other new methods to come in. For example I had an incredible cod dish which was cooked very well and was served with a tahinne sauce middle eastern but it was the perfect way to serve cod. Some of the best cod I ever had. Baked broiled or fried there are other ways to do it. I think we are going to see new England cooking exploding and being more fun. Cover of inside diner as Amy talks about what she cooks at home when I cook at home I cook Italian food it's what I grew up with rissutto palenta and I also really love to bake Chip Sign off one of vegetables I have been making this winter is parsnips underrated cross between a carrot and potatoe. |
