Forget about all the havoc created by Corona virus
Settle down with a book and a cup of relaxing lavender tea
This is a passing phase
This soothing cup of tea will taste and smell like you at the spa at comfort of your house and garden

Summer, sun and delicious food. This simple greek recipe is the star of every barbecue party. It is so refreshing and nutritious.

Some classic cocktails to spice up the holidays!

I created a set of grapefruit, lime and mint illustrations and created a pattern as well as hand lettered illustration.

Done for the Food Geometry Challenge. It's impossible not to think of citrus fruits for this challenge. Make a classic lemonade and add a colorful tropical fruit for flavor, or as a fun garnish. Don't forget to add some mint!

When I was still living in Beirut, I regularly had lunch with my grandmother in her neighbourhood Thai restaurant. We never failed to order the pomelo salad for starters, a great favourite. Eventually the restaurant relocated and, for some reason, dropped the salad from their menu. My grandmother was still thinking longingly of it several years on, so I recreated it as far as I could remember, using ingredients easy to find locally. It was a hit!

Any that is left over will keep a few days while getting even tastier as it marinates further. Make sure to return to room temperature before eating, to fully enjoy the flavours.

Every party, whether its for a birthday, anniversary or just any excuse for a gathering will always benefit from an array of cocktails. My favourites here are the frozen margarita and the hurricane!

For the Birthday Bash Challenge! What about us grown-ups at a Birthday Bash? I'll have a G&T please! But there's non-alcoholic too if you'd rather!! Cheers everyone!!!

If you have never had a cup of tea with fresh mint leaves, you are missing out, and I insist that you give it a try. :)

Drinking tea is a tradition as much as a favorite past time in Morocco. It is customary to offer mint tea to every guest as a sign of their hospitality. Mint tea is not only refreshing but also good for the body as it is known to relieve stomach problems as well as heartburn in addition to green tea, which is high in antioxidants that lower the risk of cancer.

I dedicate this submission to my father, Farmer Gene, who loved both growing vegetables and opera. He never lost his inner twelve year old and looked forward to a great guffaw over a pun...the cornier, the better!
