  Mezze is a style of dining in the Mediterranean and Middle East, consisting of delicious appetizers or small plates served with drinks. Mezze can't be traced back to any one country in particular but the word is believed to originate from the Turkish word meaning snack or appetizer.
  
  Middle Eastern food inherently attracts people looking for healthier options – this means plenty of salad, as well as main dishes that are grilled rather than fried. This fantastic collection of fresh recipes include Dips & Salads, Cheese & Savoury Pastries, Beans & Vegetables, Fish & Seafood and Meat & Poultry. Recipes can range from simple little plates of marinated olives, stuffed vine leaves or a tahini dip and flatbreads, to more substantial dishes, such as lamb skewers, giant beans baked with garlic and tomatoes or a delicious plate of salt and pepper squid. Delve into this fresh and delicious selection of recipes to create your own mezze meal at home. Mezze is a compilation of previously published favourites.

  AMISH CANNING AND PRESERVING...

  Canning sounds complicated, but it isn’t; it’s just another way of cooking your food, but instead of cooking each meal as you need to eat it, you simply cook foods you can store for the long term. 
  Why would you want to do that? 
  For several reasons. First, it’s a great way to ensure you have food available in an emergency, such as long-term power blackouts. Second, it’s a great way of ensuring that you have food to hand when you don’t feel like cooking a meal from scratch or don’t have the time. And third, it lets you preserve foods when they are at their best flavor, especially if you grow your own fruit and vegetables or get great seasonal deals at farmer’s markets or grocery stores. Imagine having homemade jams and jellies for breakfast, crunchy pickles, sauces, relishes, and even meat and fish, all prepared and stored by you. 
  Canning is one of the most common techniques for preserving fresh food in jars and killing bacteria and microorganisms using heat. That heat also stops certain enzymes that can make the food go bad, ensuring you can store your food for months. 
  When you heat the jars, the air is pushed out of the jar; as the jars cool, the lids seal, creating a vacuum that helps preserve the food. Because there is no air in the jars, yeast, microbes, and mold cannot form, thus ensuring the food doesn’t go bad

  AMISH CANNING AND PRESERVING...

  From the outside looking in, the Amish appear to be simple people. They eschew any modern conveniences in favor of old-fashioned living. This lifestyle means no motorized vehicles, electronics, or most forms of technology developed after the 19th century. The rejection of advances in the rest of society sometimes includes ideals, viewpoints, practices, and programs developed as the rest of the world evolved. Since most Amish communities are located in the United States, they occasionally conflict with the state and federal governments.  
  When their traditions clash with the official laws and regulations in their jurisdiction, concessions are made on both sides. The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agreed in 1961 that the Amish are exempt from paying taxes to the Federal Social Security program, and was codified by a law passed in 1965. Conversely, despite their insular nature, they are still subject to the United States criminal justice system. They will cooperate with local and federal law enforcement agencies when necessary, despite their preference for using religious bodies to handle legal conflicts.  
  Much of the motivation behind the Amish maintaining such insular communities stems from their difficult history at their inception.
