How To Make Thai Chicken Stir Fry

There are certainly many types of cuisines throughout the world. American cuisine, Italian cuisine, French cuisine, the possibilities are endless. However, one of my favourite types of food is Asian cuisine. One of the most popular types of Asian dishes to date is yes, stir-fry. Stir-fry, originating from China is incorporates two types of cooking techniques. Chao and Bao, chao is similar to western style "sauteing" but instead using a wok. Bao is similar to Chao but the wok is heated to a dull red glow, ingredients are cooked consistently with no stopping in between, unlike chao. Today's recipe is one of my favorite recipes to make, inspired by my trips across Asia and from local restaurants around here that also does great catering in London Ontario .

You see the sights, you swim in the sea, you buy the souvenirs, but at the end of the day, there is one thing that every vacation revolves around one thing: food.

Enjoying Tapas in Spain

If you do nothing else Spanish during your holiday in Spain, please enjoy some authentic tapas! Tapas are one of the most traditional foods you can eat in Spain. They are thought to originate from a time long ago when bars had no cooling (or heating) and were full of flies! The barman would put a slice of ham, bread or cheese on top of your drink to stop the flies  from getting in! Tapa is the Spanish for lid and so tapas were born. Often the ham, cheese or bread would be salty, encouraging you to drink more of the bar’s  delicious sweet sherry! Eventually the tapas became almost as important as the drinks and so were developed as a cuisine in their own right. Today, every town in Andalucia has numerous tapas bars so you’re sure to find one local to where you are staying, or nearby your Malaga car hire collection point. Some are very basically furnished, others are more elaborate. Many have a counter inside where you can choose your selection of tapas; some send wait...

Gourmet Food Trucks Take to the Streets

They have been around our whole lives.  We’ve grown up seeing them in many forms:  ice cream trucks in the neighborhood, snack trucks at carnivals and sandwich wagons outside office buildings.  Food trucks.  They have always offered pretty much the same variety of standard fare, ranging from burgers and hot dogs to corn dogs and fried pickles.  When we grab a bite from them, it’s usually because that’s all that is available.  It may not be healthy, and we might even question the cleanliness of some of the vendors, but we find something to eat anyway.  However, a new food revolution has begun and suddenly we have lots of healthy, high quality choices.  Street food will never again be the same. Gourmet Café on Wheels The food truck of yesterday has been reinvented into a gourmet café on wheels and its raging success has even caused many restaurateurs to rethink their business models.  Chefs of this new generation of food trucks hav...

Tips on Photographing Food

Are you a food traveler? Do you feature your food excursions on a blog or in a diary? If so, taking photos of your meals and sharing them with your blog readers, friends or family is a great way to show them the foods you have enjoyed during your travels. There are a few things to keep in mind when taking pictures of food. Done the wrong way, the dish can look unappetizing and misleading. Done the right way, the dish can look so good you can taste it! Listed below are a few tips for taking great photos of food: 1. Focus: It is very important to keep every part of the food in focus and to shoot your photo at close range. You want the dish to look as realistic as possible, so if any part of the meal is out of focus, adjust the lighting and camera range until you get a good shot. If you have a digital SLR camera, and you really want to impress; turn off the automatic exposure setting on your camera and use a faster shutter speed (1/60th or 1/200th) coupled with a larger aperture (f/2 or...

Guest Post: Peanut Butter and Jam Creme Brulee Recipe

I had fun recently making Peanut Butter Millionaire Shortbread , and since my girlfriend Mairi loves peanut butter I was keen to try out something else (any excuse to treat her!). I had the idea of doing a creme brulee, with jam set in the bottom of the ramekin. The result was fantastic! Here's the recipe: Heat about 300g of strawberry or redcurrant jam in a saucepan until it melts. Strain through a fine sieve then pour into the bottom of 6 or 7 ramekins, depending on their size. Place in the fridge to set. Crush some salted peanuts into small crumbs and toast in a frying pan until golden. Set aside. Put 200ml of double cream, 200ml of milk and 120g of peanut butter into a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring with a whisk to incorporate the peanut butter. Set aside. Place 5 large egg yolks and 50g of caster sugar in a metal

Guest Post: Turn your Love of Eating into a Food Blog

Obsess over the contents of every meal? Is the biggest stressor of your day the decision of where to get dinner? Do your friends roll their eyes at you when you talk about eating? If you answer these questions in the affirmative, then you likely consider yourself a foodie: a person driven by a passion for all things in the culinary arts. Foodies scour their local communities for edible gems found in restaurants and markets often located well off the well beaten path of popular food culture. Ardent foodies venture into the edible unknown, leaving behind “normal” food venues in search of more interesting and fulfilling eats. Most people don’t spend too much time thinking about where or what they’re going to eat. So as the “lone wolves” of dining, foodies often find themselves without friends to share in their culinary explorations. If you find yourself frequently eating at restaurants or sampling new market wares by yourself, I have a suggestion for you to reach out to
