Hi, I don't know if you have heard this or read about it, but do you know that demobilized soliers in Israel will be trained in Asian cooking? This is in pursuance to the government's efforts to reduce foreign workers, chefs included, and replace these foreign workers with citizens. So, their government will be spending more than 4.5 million of government funds just to help educate these demobilized soldiers - and get this, the budget will come from the Defense Ministry budget. Really interesting huh? To have a lot of soldiers turned into chefs. Unfortunately, this would mean less job for foreign workers in Israel. There is another interesting news I came across while preparing this. Do you know that Malaysia is requiring all restaurants including bars and cafes in Kuala Lumpur to set up WIFI for customers. Apparently, this is going to be a licensing requirement. It's nice to know that you will have internet access wherever you go in Kuala Lumpur.

Well, anyway, I hope you had a really wonderful New Year celebration. I hope that 2012 turns out well for you.

Goodbye fillet steak and posh single estate vintage risotto rice. With yet another recession straining at the Chancellor's leash, even the well-heeled will be practicing inconspicuous consumption rather than look flash.

The cure for your sluggish mornings could be as simple as a smart breakfast. This list will help you choose foods that will give you sustained energy, not a short blast then a mid-day crash. Think complex carbohydrates (whole grains), high fiber, high protein, and good fats. When is a restaurant more than a restaurant? I've been wondering how we even define "restaurant" anymore, watching projects like Belle Clementine, where subscribers more or less buy season tickets to dine, or Thierry Rautureau's customer-investors at bistro Luc, or the pop-up restaurants coming and going and coming back again. Airline food has improved remarkably in recent years with some airlines going as far to hire celebrity chefs to create ethnic or fusion cuisine to serve their business and first class passengers.

And almost every media outlet in the world has put together some type of Top Stories list.

The city of Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) will require restaurants that are renewing their licenses (and restaurant owners applying for a license) to have Wi-Fi for their customers. Restaurants can either offer Wi-Fi for free or charge their guests for its use. The Turkish aesthetic is often to take that which is most beautiful and to hide it somewhere and then to rarely speak about it. This is also the case with almost all of Istanbul's finest eateries. You will find them unadvertised down dark alleys four floors up in buildings that appear abandoned, and there will be no signs to guide you. The only way to go about discovering these places is to befriend local foodies, or to troll blogs or check out websites such as IstanbulEats. RECIPES!!!
