Strawberries & Cream are always a winning combination, and the mixologists at Dirty Martini have served up an ace with their latest cocktail creation in celebration of the 126th Wimbledon Championships this year.

Served either as a dessert, or perhaps a morning energizer in the summer months, this recipe took inspiration from the great combination that chocolate and orange offers, pairing the wonderful flavour of (good quality) coffee with the fresh citrus flavour of orange.

While visiting Seattle one summer, We ate at an upscale restaurant and I ordered a dish called Chicken and pine nuts in brown sause.. it was one of the best chicken dishes I've ever eaten.. and when I found this recipe, I was hoping it was the same one.. Well I think it is, if it's not exact, it's really close and it was so worth all the work to make it tonight.. Everyone enjoyed it..

This is a wonderful recipe for either a dinner party or Sunday lunch. Whether or not you use redcurrants in the actual sauce or purely as a decoration depends very much on the time of year and variety of redcurrants you can find. End of summer home-grown redcurrants add a wonderful sweet tartness to the sauce, however imported under-ripe fruits can impart a certain bitterness and are probably best left for garnish. If you do not use fresh berries add a little extra redcurrant jelly.

Three-layer Italian cheese casserole with seasoned ground beef, mashed zucchini with green chiles, and a cottage cheese-egg custard topped with cheddar and Parmesan.

This yummy, quick and easy treat is perfect for summer days or even when stuck inside during the cold months. This was something I used to make for family parties all the time. Before going Gluten free, I would just buy the premade graham cracker crust so there was no baking and it literally took 5 minutes to throw together. All I had to do was make a few hours ahead for it to set and be done. But I must admit, this new adaption, using Almond four taste even better!

Contrary to what you make think, not all Spring Rolls are deep-fried. They can be served fresh as well, which is a lovely option for an appetizer or light meal this summer. It’s quite an extensive list of ingredients, but if you are a fan of Thai cooking, it’s likely you have most of them in your pantry or fridge already. The preparation is a simple whisk, toss, hydrate, roll. And our special touch? We added a peanut sauce to make a “Pad Thai” version, as well as some chillies. Stop, drop and roll – these babies are on fire!
