Over the years, people's appreciation for good, quality coffee has grown. No longer are we willing to settle for freeze-dried granules, or questionable lattes made by a disgruntled student at some random cafe. We've tasted lovely coffee, and we now know that it's a complex beverage, just like wine, or beer. And that's why I'm so excited that premium, if not downright special coffee is finally popular enough for Starbucks to bring their Starbucks Reserve range to the UK.

Let's just get this out of the way first. This is in no way a traditional Baklava. Firstly, my ancestors aren't from any country that claims Baklava as its own (there are a lot, Wikipedia it!). Secondly, this is vegan. No honey here, honey. But with crispy phyllo, sticky sweet syrup and spicy nuts you'll barely notice the honey missing!

One of the better things about South Florida is how soon strawberry season arrives. In February, my family and I are often already making our first trip to the very popular Knauss Berry Farm in Homestead for shakes, cinnamon rolls and some strawberry picking. It’s soon after though, that I find myself with too many berries and searching for creative ways in which to use them. One of my favorites is Whipped Strawberry Frosting atop Vanilla Cupcakes. The cake is dense and buttery, but it...

With winter drawing to a sharp close, little time remains to indulge in the finest of cold weather comforts. Test out this recipe before the temperatures start rising and you swap rich cake for refreshing fruit salad.Lent is upon us which means I had two options when coming up with a recipe for this week – torture those abstaining from sugar and/or chocolate or offer something yeast-laden for the pre-Passover crowd. I chose the former to give you the perfect t...

Listen. I'm basically poor. I've got to buy eleven dollar agave nectar and seven dollar gluten-free waffle mix and three dollar organic apples because I'm afraid everything's going to give me cancer. What I'm saying is my budget's blown pretty early into a grocery trip.I wouldn't dream of spending any extra dough on exotic extracts like rose or banana (banana!!!) or anise. I will however raid your cabinets and bake you cookies if I find something interesting. Which is exactly what happ...

There are hundreds upon hundreds of ways to make rice pudding, but none ever come close to my mother's version. Creamy and thick, as every rice pudding should be, her Arroz con Leche, as we call it, features rice that retains its bite and is never too mushy. It's made extra special by cinnamon and vanilla that she brings back herself on every trip to her home country, Nicaragua. It is an incredibly easy desert to make, both decadent and comforting, and most importantly, damn good.

Contrary to popular thought, pesto really doesn't need Parmesan. Really! Cashews are an excellent alternative to Parmesan and other chesses in lots of recipes. They're not particularly "cheesy" when you're picking them out of your nut medley bowl, but when paired with the right combination of ingredients, BAM! Cheesiness!

As well as being International Women's Day, it is also Pancake Day (if you're in the UK) Semlor Day (if you're in Sweden) Mardi Gras (if you're everywhere else). Today is mean to represent one final day of gluttony and sin as tomorrow (in Christian and Catholic worlds) is the...

In Miami there is rarely an opportunity to enjoy the finer things winter has to offer. While the rest of the world sits snug in their warmest outfits with warm bowls of liquid, content in that cozy warmth those things bring, those of us living in South Florida are subject to rolling sweat, intolerable humidity and a possible fainting spell were we to try the same thing.
