How to Prepare Arroz Caldo

Arroz Caldo literally translates to "hot rice" and this was one of my favorite dishes growing up in the Philippines. Ginger and a touch of safflower make this ultra-comforting porridge richly fragrant. It's the perfect dish for chilly nights.

Basic Six in Making Menus

The taste and the appearance of the food are factors to consider in menu making. Also, one of the most important things to consider in meal planning is economy. You as a housewife or cook should take care that the sanitary quality of the food is preserved.
