Spiked Basil Lemonade
Few drinks say summer more than lemonade and it’s super gratifying to make your own! Not only can you control the level of sweetness but you can also add in whatever flavors you like. In this episode, we’re infusing ours with basil and then spiking it with tequila!
Anti-Stress Piña Colada
The best Piña Colada I’ve ever had was in Cuba. It was called the Anti-Stress and had mint, basil, lemongrass, star anise, and cinnamon. It was AMAZING and so different. In this recipe, I’m infusing those same herbs and spices into a simple syrup that we use to sweeten the cocktail.
Smoked Vodka Cranberry
Cranberries will likely be on your table at some point during the fall season, so why not in your glass? With this cocktail we are elevating the classic vodka cranberry by making our own juice, infusing it with rosemary, and smoking it.
Tostones Rellenos de Ropa Vieja
I have some of the most delicious food memories from my time in Cuba. There’s so many culinary traditions and SO many chefs putting a spin on classic flavors.
Piri Piri Chicken
I had Piri Piri Chicken for the first time during a layover in Portugal. It’s spicy, tangy, and smoky, with just a hint of sweetness.
Moroccan Beef and Prune Tagine
If you’ve ever been to Morocco, you’ve undoubtedly had your fair share of tagines. The varieties are endless because you can cook all different types of meat, seafood, and vegetables in them.
Grilled Octopus
Grilled octopus is delicious! But you’ve probably only had it dining out at restaurants, right? With this recipe, I hope you see how easy it is to make at home.
Triple Cherry BASIL Cheesecake
Cheesecake may not be the first thing you think of when you’re craving a homemade dessert but it should be! And with the addition of basil(!!), this cherry cheesecake is taken to another delicious level.
Braised Oxtail Ragu
This is one of my favorite dishes from my B&B in Jamaica. It’s a non-traditional recipe that incorporates some classic flavors plus some inspired by my Chinese Jamaican heritage.
