There are hundreds – probably thousands – of variations on flatbreads. These are just a few of the ones I make at home, and I left out several favorites. (Currently my absolute favorite is buckwheat potato flat bread, crusted with sesame seeds. Rather like a buckwheat flavored potato pancake, delicious topped with sour cream, with or without a sprinkle of chopped green onions… mmmmm.) Flatbreads are easy to experiment with and modify, and unless you’re interested in the exotics, the ingredients are cheap.

Ever noticed this when you cut into ginger: the exposed flesh, if left for as little as a couple of hours grows a thin layer. Leave it for a day and you have a thick, rough surface, almost as tough as the original skin.

The plant is thought to have originated in tropical Asia and is widely cultivated in the Caribbean and Africa. Chinese medicine has incorporated ginger in remedies for the digestive system for centuries and it is regularly used as a calmative for stomach upsets.
Ginger is not confined to Asian cooking, it can be sliced into thin planks or julienne, chopped, grated, puréed, and minced, depending on what you need it for.
