1 An Affogato in Italian for "drowned" is a coffee based beverage or dessert. "Affogato style", which refers to the act of topping a drink or dessert with espresso, may also incorporate caramel sauce or chocolate sauce.
2 Caffè Americano or simply Americano is a style of coffee prepared by adding hot water to espresso. The strength of an Americano varies with the number of shots of espresso added.
3 A café au lait is traditionally the french way of preparing 'coffee with milk' both at home and in Cafés in Europe.
4 Caffè latte is a latte in a portion of espresso and steamed milk, generally in a 2:1 ratio of milk to espresso, with a little foam on top. It was popularized by large coffee chains such as Starbucks.
5 Caffè Marocchino is made from espresso, steamed milk, and a dusting of cocoa powder, similar to the espressino.
6 A café mocha is a variant of a caffè latte. Like a latte, it is typically one third espresso and two thirds steamed milk, but a portion of chocolate is added, typically in the form of a chocolate syrup.

The most traditional Gujarati vegetable enjoyed by all ...

The most traditional Gujarati vegetable enjoyed by all ...
Undhiyu is a Gujarati mixed vegetable dish that is a regional specialty of Gujarat, India. The name of this dish comes from the Gujarati words "matlu" meaning earthen pot and "undhu" meaning upside down since they have been traditionally cooked upside down underground in earthen pots fired from above.
The dish is a seasonal one, comprising the vegetables that are available on the South Gujarat coastline during the winter season, including (amongst others) green beans, unripe banana, muthia, and purple yam. These are cooked in a spicy curry that sometimes includes coconut.
Undhiyu is a mixed vegetable casserole that is one of the most well-known Gujarati dishes from India. It is made of stuffed vegetables and fenugreek dumplings all cooked in a flavorful green masala sauce.
There are three main parts to undhiyu, namely the vegetables, the dumplings, and the sauce.
1 The vegetables may include eggplant, also known as aubergine, as well as potatoes, yams, surti papdi, a type of bean, green beans and plantains. Plantains are a firm banana often used in cooking, and when making undhiyu, usually used when they are still slightly green.
2 The dumplings, which are called muthiya, are made of wheat flour, chili paste, fenugreek, turmeric, coconut and salt. Again, recipes may differ from chef to chef.
The ingredients are mixed together and then the batter is rolled into small balls and deep fried. The dumplings are usually cooked before the rest of the dish and added to it at the end of the cooking process.
3 The real flavor of undhiyu is in the sauce. This may include a range of spices including coriander, ginger, chili, garlic, cumin, turmeric and coconut. This is all combined into a paste which is rubbed onto the vegetables and placed into slits made in the vegetables. The vegetables are layered and cooked in a clay pot or a pan over moderate heat. Water or oil is added to it to create the gravy. Once the vegetables are softened, the dumplings are added and carefully mixed in to spread them evenly. The dish is served either with rice or flat breads.

Coleslaw is ...

Coleslaw, sometimes simply called slaw in some American dialects, is a salad consisting of shredded raw cabbage, which is dressed with buttermilk and mayonnaise. It may be with vinegar and seasonings. Cream or sour cream may by used as the dressing and vinegar may be added. It may also include shredded carrots as well as other fruits and vegetables such as apples, onions, radishes, and peppers. Coleslaw is one of the most popular side dish in America and Europe.
The word “coleslaw” comes from the Dutch word, “koolsla”, “kool” meaning cabbage salad. Coleslaw was most likely brought to the United States by Dutch emigrants almost one hundred years ago.
The real secret to Coleslaw is to remember that this is basically a cabbage salad n the problem many people have is that they shred the cabbage too fine. Cabbage tends to be pretty low in water, so
cabbage for Coleslaw should be chopped with a sharp knife and kept coarse enough that the water stays in the cabbage.
Another important tip is it is a dressing, so need just enough to coat all veggies n fruit.
Once you have chopped the cabbage, the other vegetables, and the dressing ready, all you have to do is mix it together. The thing that makes Coleslaw different from other salads is that you want to mix it all together ahead of time. Coleslaw is best if it has had an hour or two in the refrigerator for the flavors to combine.

What makes the pineberry appearance so distinct is their white flesh which is studded with red seeds.

Roux pronounced "roo" is one of the basic thickening agents in the culinary arts. Used primarily for thickening sauces and soups, roux is made from equal parts fat and flour, and the "equal parts" are measured by weight, not volume.
