I have lived in the US for 12 years (I live in Europe now) and during my stay, I have indulged myself to spicy and some delicious Mexican dishes that really satisfied my taste buds and since I come from the Indian subcontinent (countries that include India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the Maldives), some of the dishes have a similar version where I come from. The fact is that I love cooking and enjoy trying out dishes from other countries and also ble

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

Fillings include meats, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, guacamole, cilantro, and others. Since this is a very versatile dish, one could mold a taco recipe to include many food items.

Philadelphia’s famous cheese steaks sandwiches packed with chicken, bell peppers and provolone can now be made at home in minutes!
If living in Philadelphia for 2 years has taught me one thing, it’s how to make a tasty cheesesteak. Cheesesteaks are available pretty much everywhere you look in Philly.

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.

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
