"Coltivar el mar e lassar star la tera” is an old Venetian proverb that translates to “farm the sea and forget about the land.” And that's exactly what Venice has done for much of its 1,600-year history, leading to the demise of Venetian winemaking customs. This however, is changing - in recent years, a handful of passionate Venetian winemakers have been working to better understand its lost viticultural heritage, reviving vines once thought to be extinct and preserving the distinct terroir of the lagoon-based wines.

Hi Andrea, I love Flavorful Origins too! They are now a team that produces a variety of high quality food documentaries that are very popular in China, but unfortunately not all of them are available in English overseas. I also recommend this book: https://www.amazon.com/Sharks-Fin-Sichuan-Pepper-Sweet-Sour/dp/0393332888. I think this as close as it can get for a non-Chinese to understand Chinese food. The author is a good friend of the producer of Flavorful Origins. I think she appeared in one of his documentaries! Also, I am new to this community. I am not an ambassador, or a business owner. I am just someone who constantly read and watch about food and food history. How can I contribute? Obviously I know more about Chinese cuisine than i do with other cuisine. Would is it that you (or people you know) most want to know about Chinese food? I am happy to write about anything people are interested in.

Oooh and we just shared a recipe for this for our upcoming Wellness Drinks Around the World e-booklet

And while chufa (tiger nuts in English) have gained fame as a superfood in recent years, Valencians have been using these tasty tubers since the 12th Century to make their emblematic "white gold' super-drink" that is also dairy and gluten-free.

“Known as the "Hebridean Baker", Coinneach MacLeod is an unlikely TikTok sensation who is bringing the best of the islands' culture to the world.” Even though I have my reservations about some of the food trends that TikTok has viralized I thought this was super cool https://bbc.in/36SF4r3 Feeds into another discussion, but what do you all think about the presence of the platform in preserving food traditions? Does it do more harm than good in preserving culinary traditions? (i’m thinking along the lines of the baked feta pasta craze, Dalgona coffee etc.)
