A favourite indulgent recipe I like to use every year. Just doesn't seem like Christmas without it anymore. Also, it's Christmas, so it's ok to over indulge, right?

Have you ever heard of muller beer (yes, beer)? No? So try this Polish recipe for a warming drink, perfect for the winter. I come from Poland and I decided to show you some original and surprising recipes from my land. It was originally inspired by my lovely friends who wanted to try some unexpected combination of flavours from my region.

It's cherry cola for adults! This yummy holiday cocktail is spicy with a nice hit of sweetness from the maraschino cherries.

Oil free vegan super healthy creamy cheese recipe for pizza.

My wife and I went for a long hike in the woods on a below 40 degree day in the Pacific Northwest. We were cold when we got home. Before I shed my coat and scarf I began a pot of hot cocoa. Just after pouring the hot cocoa into mugs on the spur of the moment I added 1.5 oz Veil Double Espresso Vodka and whipped cream. I handed a mug to my wife confessing that I had been playing with ingredients again. She took a dubious sip. Oh nice! she exclaimed, adding; You can play with ingredients anytime especially when there's alcohol involved. Since she liked the drink so much and I enjoyed the bold contrast of the hot liquid with my cold-from-the-hike self I kept the recipe - and drew it here using vigorous lines and contrasting colors in an attempt to capture my feelings.

I found a vintage cookbook and this recipe just sounded so good! It's artichokes and olive oil seasoned to perfection.

A delicious classic, with a bit of chocolate melted in right at the end;-)

My favourite hot drinks, vegan and totally healthy. Add your favourite sweetener for extra deliciousness!

This is a delicious traditional German christmas cookie. No flour added, just finely grated almonds.

Healthy and delicious soup with potato, peas, sweet smoked paprika and garlic and onion powder.

Biscochito (also spelled Bizcochitos), the official state cookie of New Mexico, traditionally served during holidays.

A crisp cookie originally brought to Mexico by Spanish settlers (some say invaders) and then to the Nuevo México Province. Known as ‘Mantecados’ in Spain.

“Butter, margarine or vegetable shortening can be used a substitute for lard, but the cookies will be not as crisp and moist. Apple juice or milk can be used to replace the brandy.”

Super easy and everyone loves it at family parties. For 4th of July you can create a flag with the berries.

Take a toast bite
Keep a fresh mind

This recipe was made in collaboration with Yessica Duque, a great ✰ Photographer & Food Stylist ✰ based in Den Haag (Nederlands), who wanted me to recreate one of her recipes in my own style... Enjoy it!
