Sweet And Spicy Mexican Style Desserts

By: Christine Szalay-Kudra

You will enjoy the rich and colorful cuisine of Mexico. Their desserts are as exceptional as their entrees. As Mexican food gains recognition, their desserts should be highlighted more frequently. Mexican cuisine has such a myriad of temptations that it is amazing the desserts have not gained more acclaim.

Many of the most popular desserts in Mexico are made of ice cream, puddings, or custards. Probably the best known custard in Mexico is the flan. This is a thick custard covered in a rich caramel sauce. Usually they are vanilla flavored, but they can also come in coconut, lime and other delicious varieties. Fried ice cream is probably one of the most bizarre desserts to some of us. The crisp coating is delicious… especially when paired with the creamy ice cream inside.

Traditional Mexican Cuisine

By: Grupo La Parrilla

The traditional Mexican cuisine is a feast for locals and foreigners. We have for example, the classic mole that requires preparation for more than 25 ingredients, according to type and region to which it belongs, so the amount of ingredients may vary. A Mexican buffet is one of the options more appealing when organizing a casual celebration, where you can usually find chalupitas, sopes, empanadas, tacos, tostadas, with an infinite variation of ingredients such as ground beef, beef tongue, cheese, steak, chicken, pork, or fish.

When moving along to the main course, the list of choices would be as long as the size of the country itself, and so delicious that it would be difficult to choose between a piece of cabrito norteno, or a succulent piece of pibil pork from a Maya kitchen of the Yucatan and Quintana Roo, wrapped in banana leaf with vibrant color as the axiote gives beef and pork.

Influence – The Luxury Restaurant In Chennai

By:Satya Narain

Now Chennai and Chennai-ites are no strangers to vegetarianism. So if yet another vegetarian restaurant opens its doors to Chennai, it comes as no surprise. If you are one of those who raise their eye brows when one talks of fine dining and a vegetarian restaurant in the same breath, then you need to think again! So when a fine dining vegetarian restaurant opens in Chennai, the fare it has to offer, should be different. Influence is just that…

The interiors of Influence are designed by none other than Manish Malhotra. In fact, his designer’s signature lends itself to the uniforms worn by the waiters too! The interiors can be described as plush and swanky done in shades of beige, brown and slathered with gold. Spread over 5000 sq. feet it gives you a feeling of space as you enter. Flower filled ponds, dim lighting, unusual furnishing, attractive paintings all add to creating a magical aura.

Spices in Filipino Cuisine

By: Carlo Villamayor

It’s no secret that Filipino cuisine is one of the best in the world, but like any good food, it has to have its secrets. Few people have really mastered authentic Filipino food—not the washed-down fare you get in fast foods and diners, but real, home-made native dishes. Although most of us can whip up something when we need to, it can be hard to capture that distinct Filipino taste. (more…)
