How Do You Make A Shamrock Shake?
What's more Irish than a green milkshake complete with gold at the end of the rainbow!? What's Shakin'? Ah, St Patrick's day, a day when everybody covers themselves in as much green as the spectrum will allow, parties on the streets and trips over their own feet as they attempt to re-enact Riverdance. It's also a big day for drinking, and dyeing foodstuffs green. Seriously, so much green grub everywhere, green beer, green yogurt, green eggs and ham...

The World's Greatest Macaroni and Cheese
When we think of comfort foods, we’re often transported back to our childhood. Memories of delicious flavours that our parents, grandparents and families would make for us come flooding back. The soft delicious, safe foods that wrap you in their arms like a blanket and tell you everything is going to be okay. For some it’s creamy buttery mashed potatoes, reminiscent of Thanksgiving dinners and afternoon naps. For others it can be a simple cheese sandwich with the crusts cut off. For me, that food is Mac & Cheese. There’s something about the crispy, salty taste of the topping. The gooey, creamy pasta. The blatant disregard for calories. Something about it just works. After a long, tough day when I’m in desperate need of a pick me up my thoughts guide me towards cheese. My thighs do not. One of the best things about adulthood, besides setting your own bedtime, is taking the foods you love from childhood and giving them an extra special twist to elevate them into something gourmet. Mac & Cheese has been dressed up in all kinds of ways over the last few years, with crafty chefs adding soft pink lobster and fine french cheeses to the magical mix. My staple though will always be bacon and beer. Though not an entirely new combination, it’s one that works time and time again. The beer in the roux adds a hoppy richness, which cuts through the creaminess of the sauce and gives it a tangy taste. The bacon, which should be crispy, gives an added dimension to the texture and a burst of umami flavour every other bite. Ingredients

Strawberry, Mint and Flax Seed Smoothie
“One must ask children and birds how cherries and berries taste” Strawberries are very flexible and can be used in any dessert because of their taste, texture and most importantly their colour, which is one on the most attractive amongst all the available fruits. Here is my first recipe of a smoothie using strawberries this winter. It's a simple combo of strawberry, mint and yogurt with a dash of flax seed to give it a crunch and increase the protein content, thus making it a healthy drink. Best part about this dish is that it requires ingredients that are readily available in the market and require minimum time for preparation. A perfect combo of flavour along with this perks is something which you wouldn’t like to miss. So without wasting more time I will take you through the simple steps closer to the heaven.
