I am a very serious foodie and I regularly write blogs about food on various social media platforms. Any and all kinds of food allure me and I am always super-ready to taste food which I have never eaten before. Given my interest, I always keep track of eminent chefs who visit our campus at Indiana University Bloomington and make it a point to attend such sessions as they not only enable me to try new food but also communicate with eminent chefs.
One such opportunity presented itself earlier in February when chef Freddie Bistsoie visited our campus for a lecture and cooking demonstration at the Bookmarket Eatery at Herman B Wells Library at IU. Not only did I get to eat amazing food cooked by him but also interacted with him about his understanding of food and its relation to culture.
He cooked four different dishes for us and I tried three of those dishes. The First dish was Calabasa which was made by sweating a lot of vegetables like bell pepper, corn, tomatoes etc..The main ingredient in this was however a vegetable called the summer squash which looked like zucchini or yellow cucumber. The dish was seasoned with just salt and pepper and was very simple yet tasty.
The second dish was Swamp Cabbage Salad.
