Spice it up - this spicy, hot fruit drink is my go to whenever a sore throat is approaching. It is very spicy, but delicious and feels like a comfy scarf from the inside. It calms the pain in my throat and makes me very warm. Perfect to snuggle on the couch and recover.

I think my favorite part of fall is all of the rich, spicey scents. Mulling spices can be used in tea, cider, hot chocolate and even cocktails.

This refreshingly simple citrus salad features grapefruit and oranges topped with a tangy vinaigrette.You can stack the citrus slices with fresh mozzarella and basil on individual plates or in one big platter. It makes a beautiful presentation and can be eaten with salmon or to offset the richness of pasta.

A really fast and easy cake - this is one of my priorities by baking ;) I often take some homemade sweets for picnic or hiking which are easy to carry and this one is definitely one of THIS recipes.

I first had this cocktail at the Nobhill Tavern bar in MGM Grand in Las Vegas back in 2011. It is still the best cocktail I have had to date!

After returning home I began the quest to recreate it - I just couldn’t get it quite right. When I had babies the cocktail shaker got packed away, but since we are living in lockdown, it has made another appearance and my quest was renewed!

I don’t think I will ever match the Nobhill one, as I think their fresh sweet and sour recipe holds some magic secret ingredients, but I have gotten pretty close with my attempts at home and am sharing this simple recipe with you.
Adding fresh egg white to the sweet and sour mix will give you the frothy top!

Not a recipe, but a joyful pattern- an ode to New Orleans citrus! It's everywhere in my hometown. For the full version, you can visit my Instagram page! www.instagram.com/amymcillustrates

Here is a quick recipe for my family's favorite called Lemon chicken! My grandfather makes it for family get-togethers with mint chutney and his mighty glass of whiskey of course!

Here is my take on the same, Simpler and quicker I guess.
Must tell you I only perfected this as a student. It was cheap and quick after a crazy long day!

This recipe reminds me when as a young girl I used to help my mum doing it.

Summer days in a bottle but be patient! It takes at least three years to make!!

Punch is a very popular mexican drink and this is a family recipe that we usually drink for Christmas, but, after some very bad allergies this winter season, we noticed that this punch really calmed down my snizzes, thanks to all the vitamin c from all the delicious ingredients. So we´re sharing it with the world! You don´t have to include all the ingredients but a heads up, the Jamaica it´s the wow factor in here

A delicious dessert for black bean lovers!

This is a kind of my mother's secret menu which is named orange cola wings. Every Chinese festival, my mother will cook it for me, and it is really tasty! Hope you like it !

My friend in Denmark told me how to make this because I like it a lot. This bitter sweet jam always starts the day right!
