Thanks to a festive atmosphere, great drinks and homestyle recipes that pay to tribute to the cuisine of Puebla, Mexico, Casa Moreno has secured its place on the must-try list. Dishes pull not only from pre-Hispanic and Spanish influences, but also from French and Lebanese styles. Mole Poblano is a perfect example of this fusion. “It is a wonderful dish prepared using as many as 30 ingre- dients and offers so many delicious flavors,” says Casa Moreno manager Susan Diaz. “It was said to be served as a treat for special guests or events like weddings. Our family recipe dates back as far as three generations and is a perfect blend of sweet and spicy.” One of Casa Moreno’s specialities is Mixiote. This dish is traditionally made with rabbit, but here it features beef marinated in an array of spices, then oven-cooked in corn husks.

Tlalpeno, one of Diaz’s personal favorites, is described on the menu as a truly comforting chicken soup perfect for combating any cold. Diaz’s father played an important role in develop- ing a dish for the menu. “The Enchiladas a la Crema was once known as the Bony’s Favorite,” Diaz explains. “This particular dish was the first meal prepared for my father by my mother, Mercy. It was what won him over.” The house chips and salsa hook diners from the start. “Our homemade salsa is addicting,” Diaz says. “The slow-roasted spicy flavor pairs perfectly with our light and crispy chips.” I would agree. On our visit, we also tried the Fajita Trio, a sizzling combination of steak, chicken and shrimp tossed with sweet onions and bell peppers and accompanied by an impressive spread of condiments.

Anthropologists and historians in particular view food consumption as ways of understanding cultural adaptation and social grouping. The food practices of a social grouping reveal rich dimensions of people's lives, indicating their sense of identity and their place within the wider community. As well, food is one of the most visible aspects of a community's cultural tradition. It is through food too that a social grouping "borrows" food practices and appropriate food items from other cultures to make them its own. This chapter intends to examine the ways in which cross-cultural links are fostered between nations through the food practices of their people.

    20 TREND INSIGHT 14 REPORT DESSERT TOUR PART TWO: COMFORT & NOSTALGIA Pamela Oscarson Market & Consumer Insights Lead “After a bad day or even a long week, I find myself reaching for things that I find comforting with a little taste of home. The trends of comfort & nostalgia were clearly present in our tour and even taken up a notch. I love finding new ways to enjoy simple pleasures that work in tandem to satisfy your taste buds and make you feel good at the same time.” Introduction to our Dessert Trends Series During our tour, we noticed five clear trends: 1. Seasonality 2. Comfort/Nostalgia 3. Local/Sustainability 4. Twist on the Classics 5. Simplicity Part Two of our Dessert Tour covers Comfort & Nostalgia. In this report, we will take a look at the trend in general, and then discuss how we saw it in action from French pastry shops to chocolate shops and trendy restaurants. Ready? Let’s go! 1900 Averill Road, Geneva, IL 60134 630.578.8600 | www.fona.com COMFORT & NOSTALGIA Comfort & nostalgia foods can be defined as a food or drink to which one habitually turns for temporary relief, security, or special reward while tying in memories of days past. A substantial majority of comfort & nostalgia foods are composed largely of simple or complex carbohydrates. It has been suggested that such foods induce an opiate-like effect in the brain, which may account for their relaxing nature. Any foods or beverages could be a comfort& nostalgia food depending on a person’s taste, and they may not be any foods that are “universally” accepted comfort & nostalgia foods.

    - Advertisement - Sweet & savory veggie stew with RedRoyals™ 1 / 4 By Pure Flavor & Healthy Christian Home February 17, 2021 Learn how to make a Sweet & Savory Veggie Stew with Pure Flavor® RedRoyals™ Cherry Tomatoes-on-the-Vine Delicious, homecooked food has a way of soothing the soul and bringing a sense of calm to long and hectic days. A good vegetable stew is the perfect comfort food, but there are many “meat and potato” stew recipes out there that just don’t hit the spot. A few fresh ingredients can really elevate this simple meal to a feast your family will absolutely love. Mary Harp is a mom, food-lover and creator of Healthy Christian Home who seeks out the healthiest, tastiest foods to feed her family. Although she isn’t usually much of a fan of tangy, tomato-based vegetable stews, Mary felt an urge to tell the world about the magic of her latest Instant Pot recipe — a Vegetable Beef Stew that she says is guaranteed to “warm you to your toes.” What makes this recipe uniquely savory compared to other stews is how all the flavors mingle together so perfectly. The distinct flavors of each ingredient are actually more concentrated and tastier because the pressure cooker keeps all the juice and aromas inside. 2 / 4 Then, when the stew is almost ready, Mary adds the perfect fresh ingredient to complement her savory feast: majestically sweet Pure Flavor® RedRoyals™ Cherry Tomatoes On-the-Vine. There’s more to making this fantastic stew than just tossing all your ingredients in a pot and shutting the lid, but that doesn’t mean it’s difficult to make.
