I created this with some of my Vietnamese students in mind. Upon critiquing it for me they were very adamant in stating that since it has shrimp, it is disqualified as authentic pho, but they had only accolades for the design. I've made this recipe for my partner and myself several times now, and we both absolutely love it.

Just discovered this drink this Christmas: it is tasty, a touch of sweetness, bright with fresh lime juice! Perfect to get you through a winter storm. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on Ginger Beer from Maine Root, it will have a nice kick of ginger too. Cheers to the New Year!

An unexpectedly compatible combination of sweet and spicy that takes an ordinary margarita to something undeniably extraordinary!

This year the mint in my herb garden grew like crazy, it was a very hot summer and we had bought a new hammock. So I thought: „Why not combine all three?“ In the end I did research how to make a decent Mojito and was delighted to find out, that it is not that hard to make. So we enjoyed quite a few Mojitos in and out of the hammock this summer. If you want to enjoy one for yourself, here is the recipe we use. Have fun!

A traditional Key Lime Pie!

Cool, refreshing margarita pie a perfect accompaniment to a Mexican feast!

A delicious summer drink

One word: Yum! Nothing's better or more refreshing than fresh homemade pineapple salsa. A sweet and tangy snack with a bit of a kick is the perfect way to start off your summer!

Making Thai curry paste is so much easier than it looks, it’s just taking the ingredients, roasting some of them and then just grinding in Pestle and mortar. Or a processor works too! It’s so full of freshness and flavour, and takes you to tropical paradise with just one bite!

A refreshing summer cocktail that you can make only with 4 ingredients, and tastes as good as it looks!

Every time I make a fool, I wonder why I don't make it more often. I love the mix of tangy/sweet fruit with fluffy cream! Speaking of love, this panel is inspired by the old television series "The Dating Game", which I guess dates me (ha!). The recipe is from epicurious.com.

This tastes much better than the Dandelion wine
we tried to make years ago and is possibly better for you.
Leave plenty of flowers for the bees ,
as they are an important food source in April and May
( in our part of the world )
To everyone's good health.

Rajma is a rich, hearty, spicy, tangy quintessentially Indian Red Kidney bean recipe that is typically eaten with rice. The base is onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic and green chilies. It is slow cooked with spices like cinnamon, cloves, black pepper and cumin till the aroma wafts through the air and the beans are smooth and tender. It is perfect with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkling of chopped onions.

This Santa Fe Cobb Salad offers a great variety of vegetables and beans. The Lime Jalapeno Dressing adds a Mexican Twist to it and the tortilla chips a crunchy bite to it.
