No Heart
I had a different recipe scheduled to go up today, but I woke up sweating and have been sweating every moment since then, so this one felt more appropriate. I’ve been experimenting with a lot of different flavor and texture combinations lately, and I’m really pleased with how this treat came out. You read that right... this is a treat!! I know this is supposed to be a beverage blog, but I feel like no one will be upset that I slipped this in here.

How to Make "The Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich"
Many of us have had a grilled cheese sandwich in one way or another. It’s one of those staples in our American culture—and it’s supposed to be something that we can make quickly and easily without creating a huge mess. And face it, you’d have to be crazy to not like grilled cheese, right? I mean, we all enjoy the smell of bread toasting in the pan, with the scent of your favorite cheese melting perfectly onto the tasty bread… Oh boy, I can almost taste it now!

My Mother's Recipes (Pt. 4)
This recipe is part of a series of my late mother's amazing collection. These recipes were never written down—rather passed down from my nanna to my mother, then consequently to my older sisters, and eventually, to me. I learned by standing in the kitchen and watching her work. When I was really little, I would be hoisted up onto the countertop by one of my big brothers and I would wait patiently for the bowls to lick. When I grew a bit, I'd stand on tiptoes and watch, wide-eyed, as my mother turned out cakes and pies and other culinary wonders. Sometimes she even let me "varnish" the pies.

Honeybush Caramel Review and Recipe
I’d never had honeybush before now. I wasn’t even clear on exactly what it was, I just had seen the word around a lot in the last few months. This is kinda like when I had never seen rhubarb before and I kept seeing it in the store everywhere all of a sudden and thought, "What the fuck is wrong with that celery?" So I looked it up. I’m allergic to honey (not deathly, it just makes my tongue and face swell. Uncomfortable? Yes. Deadly? No.), so I have to be careful and look into things with honey in the name. I had no idea honeybush was a plant, or that the smell was so sweet and fragrant (hence the name).

Gaddina Limuni Sicilianu (Sicilian Lemon Chicken)
Chef Notes: This farmhouse dish is a nod to my Sicilian heritage and the small farming village where my Grandmother grew up. From my visits when I was a little girl, I remember tons of fruit and olive trees, roaming chickens, and air wonderfully pungent with the scent of the Mediterranean. Olives, Sicilian lemons, and oregano are all quite prominent in this chicken recipe making it a perfect light, yet hardy, springtime dish. I recommend serving it with a shaved fennel salad and a nice dry rosé.

My Mother's Recipes
This is the recipe for the corned beef pie I described in my previous work, "My Mother's Pots." My mother would make this as part of our tea on Sunday. She'd also make a minced beef and gravy or steak and mushroom pie, a quiche, sausage rolls, home made bread and jam, fruit pie—either apple or apple and blackberry (if we'd been foraging for blackberries), several cakes—chocolate, Victoria sponge, fresh cream eclairs, gateaux and fresh scones. If we were really lucky we would also be treated to her delicious melt-in-the-mouth Viennese tartlets—dotted with fresh raspberry jam and dusted with icing "snow."

EOW Pie
OK, you have got through the working week and are looking forward to the weekend. You don’t want takeaway or anything delivered. You just want something filling, flavour-some, homely, and comforting as you close the door on the outside world. You want something so comforting it might even take you back to the family kitchen where you watched your parents cooking.

Sunrise
I love a bright drink, color and flavor-wise. During the summer, it’s punchy and just feels right, and during the winter it’s even better. Sometimes when the snow is high and the temperatures drop, my mood feels a little happier just by drinking something bold and beautiful. There’s this song called "Sunrise" by Simply Red that makes me feel the same way. I can feel super down and a little sad, but listening to "Sunrise" really perks me up. It’s like a funk song I guess, and has a Hall and Oates sample that makes me want to go to a roller rink and just skate my ass off while I forget anything that’s bothering me. I have a handful of songs that make me feel that way.
