    Spicy Doritos And How Foods Become American - The Sporkful

    And why some make the transition faster than others….Over the years on The Sporkful, Dan has explored an idea that’s changed the way he understands food in the U.S.: You can track an immigrant group’s assimilation in America by looking at whether their food is perceived as American, or foreign. Why is pizza accepted as American, while wonton soup is considered foreign — even though Chinese immigrants came to America in large numbers before Italian immigrants? This week we continue to explore this question with Professor Krishnendu Ray, who first explained this concept on our show, as well as chef and recipe developer Yewande Komolafe, and cookbook authors Madhur Jaffrey and Priya Krishna.

  • MasterClass Cooking 101: How to Cook With 16 Different Oils, Plus the 5 Healthiest Cooking Oils Beyond olive oil and vegetable oil, there are many cooking oils to choose from, especially with the rise in popularity of health-driven oils like coconut, ghee, and avocado. It can be difficult to decipher which ones are best to use for sautéing versus baking versus frying.

Oils are a product of an extraction and pressing process. Oil comes from seeds and nuts, like sunflowers, almonds, walnuts, olives, avocados, coconuts, and even rice bran. Each type of oil has its own chemical composition, which means some oils are better suited for salads, while others will help you achieve that perfect sear on a steak. One of the most important factors to consider when choosing your cooking oil is its smoke point. cancel
