How On-Demand Food Delivery Companies Can Use AI To Optimize Food Delivery?

In the so called information age at least on-demand food delivery app platforms are one of the truly great things of our time. And the only reason why the number of quick-serve and fast casual restaurants are projecting up with a skyrocketing speed. Granted, they have wrapped themselves with the online delivery platforms.

Spurred by the internet penetration and smart use of smartphones resulting in increasing obsession of the consumers to order food online have boosted the food ordering industry, that as a result, witnessed a heated competition where every other food delivery app is vying to attract a bigger chunk of the market.

But to the dismay, the smaller entities in the industry are not harnessing the power of latest technologies to optimize deliveries, streamlining operations and do effective marketing. As a result, they fail to drive their sales up. Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes from the same unutilized family of technology which remains untouched, considering it one of those abstract concept with presumably no real application.

Menu Makeover Minute – Meatball Stuffed Zucchini

Transformation is defined as a complete or major change in someone’s or something’s appearance, form, etc. I like to transform recipes. With the hundreds of thousand recipes on the internet, I set out to transform them into a group of frugal yet tasty recipes geared for the retired, students, single parent families, SNAP recipients, low income families and anyone still suffering from the recession.

Here is another recipe that uses clever substitution of garlic powder for garlic cloves, parsley flakes for fresh parsley and cooked lentils for ground beef to lessen the burden on your pocketbook. These subtle changes take this recipe from $1.77 a serving down to a meager $0.91 per serving. The amount of time needed to prepare this recipe stayed virtually the same, just the price of the dish suffered. Continue reading “Menu Makeover Minute – Meatball Stuffed Zucchini”

Indian Almond Leaves for Betta Fish

One of the secrets to raising strong and healthy is bathing your fish in tea made from Indian Almond leaves.

The leaves also known as Ketapang or wild almond leaves in some places, comes from a tree known to produce a chemical that defends itself against insects and parasites. When the dried leaves falls into water, a strong brown dye is given off. The dye contains organic acids humic and tannins. The water which is darken to a yellowish brown (tea-like color) after a few days, is very similar to your Betta fishes’ natural habitat and they will love you for it.

Humic and tannins from the Indian almond leaves lowers the pH of the water, absorbs harmful chemicals and help create a soothing and calm environment for the fish. I use the leaves to help settle my Betta fishes when I first bring them home from the aquarium, which can be quite a traumatic journey for the fishes. Even Bettas can get ‘sea sick’ sometimes … you will know it when their body turn pale and rest on the tank floor all the time. Continue reading “Indian Almond Leaves for Betta Fish”

Merits of Smoked Foods

Smoking of meat and fish goes back a long time in history. It is believed that indigenous people used smoke produced whilst drying fish to drive flies away. Previously, they used to hang meats to dry. They eventually found out that the smoke acted as a preservative for food as well. The meat stored in smoky areas also tasted better than that dried from the Sun.

Smoking of food includes heating, roasting or cooking through constant application of heat from smoke produced naturally (burning wood or coal) or artificially (electrically). Smoked foods bring a different taste and way of cooking for people around the world. The primary advantage of smoking food products is that it helps in preservation of food for future consumption.

Caste System in Nepal

1.Background.

The word Caste is derived from the Portuguese word casta, meaning lineage, breed or race. The term “caste,” when used in a cultural context, is usually in conjunction with the social division in Hindu society, particularly in India although a form of the caste system was prevalent in many ancient societies, and in particular feudal societies.

In ancient India there developed a social system in which people were divided into separate close communities. These communities are known in English as caste. The origin of the caste system is in Hinduism but it affected the whole Indian society later it has transmitted to Nepal. The caste system in the religious form is basically a simple division of society in which there is four castes arranged in a hierarchy and below them the outcast. But socially the caste system was more complicated, with much more castes and sub-castes and other divisions. Legally the government disallows the practice of caste system but has a policy of affirmative discrimination of the backward classes. Continue reading “Caste System in Nepal”

Book Review Of Sharell Cook’s Henna For The Broken-Hearted

I had been meaning to read Henna For The Broken-Hearted for quite some time and finally managed to get my hands on it. To begin with, I really like the title of the book. I think it is so poetic – and also, aptly captures the spirit of the story in just a few words.

Henna For The Broken-Hearted is narrated in first person. It tells the story of how the author led a seemingly complete, but apparently empty, life in Australia. Faced with some life altering changes, Cook decides to volunteer in India – where she rediscovers life and love, and in the process, herself.

As I started reading Cook’s description of herself, I thought, “Oh that sounds so much like me!” For instance, she says, “Despite what some would call an idyllic childhood… I grew into a shy, closed and introverted teenager… used to spending time by myself among nature and absorbed in books.“As she goes on to explain her career choices and other expectations from life, I was hooked.

Gravlax – The Scandinavian Gourmet Salmon Dish

Gravlax is a diminutive, it means “buried Salmon” in Swedish from “Gravad Lax”, yet this solid, prosaic and rather dull name does not come anywhere near to describing this fantastic smooth, suave, elegant appetiser. However gravlax got its name from the old way of preparing it which was salting the salmon, putting it in an old barrel and burying it underground for several days or even several months if it was going to be preserved for the Winter. Modern recipes often add aquavit or vodka to the salmon, but for me the old simple way is best because with gravlax, less is definitely more. Quite when the dill came fashionable no one knows and although I loathe dill on anything else, it is as part of gravlax as cream is to strawberries and cream. I have seen it made myrtle leaves and fennel seeds, I have often wondered what it would be like with wild fennel leaves, but have never got around to trying it.

Gravlax is cured salmon but that is no excuse for not using the freshest salmon, even if you have some salmon that has been languishing at the bottom of the fridge for a few days give it to the cat, which will probably turn their nose up anyway because they have such a strong sense of smell.

Formentera Food – Friga Pagesa

Friga pagesa is a Formentera specialty. In English it can be called a peasant fry-up, but let me tell you that these peasants ate well! The only difference from the way that the peasants used to eat it is that it is made using olive oil, rather than lard these days.

To make this dish for two you will need a dash of white wine, half a green pepper, pork chops (200 grams when chopped), sirloin pork (250 grams), pigs liver (100 grams), half a red pepper, 3 cloves of garlic, potatoes (250 grams), olive oil, salt, pepper, and some parsley.
