The fact is that I love cooking and enjoy trying out dishes from other countries and also ble

By Michael Tosh  

Modern taco events have changed what festive eating looks like. Fortunately, the nature of mobile taco catering lends itself to a clean presentation.

It says something that the once-lowly taco is now served at weddings, corporate events, and high-ticket fundraisers. The deceptively simple yet delightfully textured tacos that taco cart caterers are now serving at these events cannot just be delicious food: they need to be presented in such a way as to fit their surroundings and

The fillings can depend upon individual tastes and likings.

Making tacos is plain fun. One can fill them up with whatever appeals to the taste buds. This is the reason t

But now that I moved to DC, cheesesteaks aren’t as popular so I started making my own at home. Home-made cheesesteaks are a lot healthier and super easy to make too.

Recipe: Vegetable Carpaccio

Obviously, we love cooking. At The Culinary Institute of America, it’s in our shared DNA to boil, braise, baste, and bake. But when it comes to realizing the full potential of our ingredients, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, raw is the answer.

If you’ve been to a grocery store or farmers’ market in the last year, you can’t miss packaging that’s plastered with the phrases, “minimally processed,” ″unfiltered,” or “unrefined.” We are in an age of awakening, where consumers want to know the

There are many things in life that are simple and hard. Like staying committed to your spouse. It’s simple. Just stay faithful to one person for the re

Why is it that the holiday season and a lack of self-control seem to go hand in hand? We overspend, overeat, and just downright overindulge all in the name of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. What an oxymoron. It actually started with Halloween. The candy brought into the home and office gets the ball rolling. The smartest parents take the leftover candy to the office to “share” with unsuspecting co-workers with sweet toothes. The innocent co-workers (read: suckers) fall for it, and th
