Earl Grey shares similar flavors with tonic water to make for a nice citrusy pairing, so it’s a useful addition to your home bar when you’re not drinking alcohol. Why Tea Is Great for Mocktails When one is abstaining from alcohol-based bitters and liqueurs, tea can add that necessary touch of bitterness and astringency to a non-alcoholic drink....

These are the vegetarian egg rolls I grew up making. They are like the large, stuffed egg rolls you often find at your friendly neighborhood Chinese takeout. They aren’t the small spring rolls you get as a side, but the hefty ones served as appetizers. Egg rolls are served with a dipping sauce like Chinese hot mustard, sweet-and-sour duck sauce, or a spicy chili sauce. As kids, we ate them with soy sauce on the side....

At some point you just give up and say, “oh have it your way, all the more for the rest of us.” I was that stubborn teenager one summer in Mexico City, surrounded by my host family pleading with me to try this weird looking dish that they had translated as “burnt milk”. I’m forever grateful my friend’s mother Señora Argüelles didn’t give up on me that day. After finally submitting to one bite, I ate all that remained in the pot!...

My mother was from “el campo,” or the countryside, of Puerto Rico. Rumor has it, my grandmother had to walk three days to get to closest registrar to record my mother’s birth. (As a result, we’re pretty uncertain as to my mother’s actual birthdate.) My mother remembered little about the island, except that rice was an everyday dish at mealtimes. And it wasn’t just for dinner, either. No, rice was good for morning, noon, and evening meals....

Our basil plants however, don’t seem to notice that their days are numbered. This is high season for them, and they’ve made quite the romper room of their garden beds. I’ve been dreaming about this basil hummus for weeks now. It sort of makes sense, doesn’t it? Like a cross between hummus and pesto.
