BALABOOSTA

É, é nome de livro e não de passarinho brasileiro.
O sub-título é “Ousadas receitas mediterrâneas para alimentar as pessoas que amo.”
A autora tem uma escola de cozinha, um marido, filhos e três
restaurantes em NY.
Foi criada ajudando a mãe na cozinha. Diz ela que esteve sob trabalho
infantil forçado por quatro anos e depois foi promovida a sous-chef.
Arrancava as penas das galinhas, lavava a alface até não poder mais
para se livrar de bichinhos, assava batatas, bolos, fritava peixe, moía
seu próprio grão de bico para hummus, tudo sem receitas escritas nem
colheres de medir, nem balança, nem nada. O patrão era o instinto
certeiro da mãe e o conhecimento que ela herdara de várias donas
de casa antes dela.
Foi lá na cozinha caseira que aprendeu o estilo de
cozinhar chamado de balaboosta. A palavra vem do ídiche baal habayit
(dona da casa). E era um elogio. Perfeita dona de casa. Uma balaboosta
além da casa tomava conta da parte espiritual, emocional e do bem
estar da família.
A mesa havia que estar cheia de gente, de comida …
e de risadas.. A balaboosta moderna navega pela vida com um coração
corajoso, uma cabeça determinada, e um espírito de risco e de aventura.
Basta ter gosto pela vida, tentar eliminar o medo, e apoiar-se nos seus
instintos com toda a força possível.
Um homem pose ser um balaboosta, tendo paixão por comida.
É isso – balaboosta é expressar amor através da comida.
Os 3 restaurantes dela são:
Balaboosta, Taïm e Taïm Mobile, e Bar Bolonat
O marido era garçon do Balthazar e chegava em casa num horário
impossível e morto de fome. Ela se levantava para fazer o sanduíche
dele. Querem saber como era o sanduíche?
Fatias finas de peito de peru com camadas de cebola caramelizada,
pimentão grelhado, alface, cogumelos sobre uma ciabatta grelhada e
coberta de aioli de harissa feito em casa.
Não é um livro com receitas jamais vistas. Tem receitas para adultos,
para crianças, as de 5 minutos, as comidas de alma, as românticas, as do
churrasco, as saudáveis, as demoradas e caprichadas, receitas de Israel,
as de restaurante, as básicas, de todo dia.
Nada de espantar muito. Acho que seria um bom livro para uma recém
casada judia. Tem um challah muito bem explicado, um cheese cake de
ótima cara. Outra que me pareceu familiar e boa é a Sinaya, palestino
árabe, tomate, berinjela frita, carne moída temperada,pignoli e uma
camada grosa de tahini. Forno. Comida de alma palestina.
Uma coisa que sempre tive vontade de fazer e nunca fiz – azeitonas
empanadas.
E uma asinhas de galinha com harissa e mel. Bem apimentadas com mel.
Nada mau.
Uma salada de quinoa com grão de bico
E tem um chili de feijão, carne moída, linguicinhas merguez que parece
bem bom. E pimenta! (Aqui no Brasil não consigo que gostem da mistura
feijão e carne moída no prato de servir. Será por serem comidas nossas,
diárias, que nós mesmo misturamos? Não entendo muito o porquê.)
Falafel, baklava…
As fotos são daquelas bem reais, que não atiçam o apetite. Querem
alguma dessas receitas? Escrevo aqui. É só pedir.
Livro de cozinha é uma coisa difícil de recomendar. Eu não compraria
esse, (mas comprei)por já ter todas essas receitas em algum livro ou outro.
Mas, se fosse uma jovem cozinheira talvez me encantasse por ele.
Todo mundo tem um livro preferido, sujo de molho, folheado até não poder
mais. O que significa que ele chegou em boa hora, a receita deu certo.
O meu preferido é velho, velho, uma edição do Fannie Farmer. Jamais uma receita
de lá deu errada. Mas foi feito numa época em que as latas eram um
luxo e tem lata de tudo nos ingredientes. Na época dos orgânicos não
deve fazer sucesso nenhum. Cada roca com seu fuso cada livro com seu
uso.
Ah, o meu lado fofoqueiro! Comprei a biografia da Lily Safra, de Isabel
Vincent. Ebook, Kindle. Não dá para acreditar que eu largue um grande
sociólogo para ler Gilded Lily, mas a verdade há que ser dita. É sempre
fascinante ver alguém nascido num subúrbio do Rio de Janeiro se tornar
umas das viúvas mais ricas do mundo. E dá-lhe fofoca!
Engraçado é que nas fotos ela só parece alegre e feliz com o marido
pobre que ela largou como uma batata quente algum tempo depois
de casada. Vai saber, e além de tudo não temos nada com isso. Mas a
extrema riqueza sempre dá uma curiosidade a nós, pés rapados. Por que
mais uns milhões se já tem tantos…. Porque sim, ora!
Hey just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with SEO? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains. If you know of any please share. Thank you!

Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Hey there, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!

Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions? With thanks

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your design. Kudos

Hey! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My website goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!

At this time it looks like Expression Engine is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. Nevertheless think about if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this website could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche. Excellent blog!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something informative to read?

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d certainly appreciate it.
