ABOUT THE RECIPE

Craving a tropical getaway without leaving your backyard? This vibrant, alcohol-free drink blends the exotic taste of passionfruit with zesty lime and a hint of sweetness, delivering a refreshing experience that’s so indulgent.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

If you’re looking for tacos that actually hit to spot, this is the one. Smoky, spicy shrimp caramelized in a honey mustard butter glaze, crisp cabbage slaw tossed with fresh passionfruit and lime, all tucked into warm tortillas. It’s the perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and freshness. This is not your basic taco night, this is tropical and vibrant.

How to serve
These tacos are best served fresh, straight off the pan, while the shrimp are still warm and juicy. A chilled margarita or a sparkling lime soda? Absolute game-changer. And if you’re feeling extra, a drizzle of extra honey mustard glaze over the top seals the deal. Tacos this good deserve to be the main event.

How to store
Shrimp are best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Reheat gently in a pan to keep them from drying out. The slaw can last a day, but keep the dressing separate until serving.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

You know those salads that just hit different? This is one of them. It’s got all the good stuff. Juicy, sun-ripened fruit, salty creamy goodness, a punchy herb dressing, and golden roasted corn that adds the perfect sweet crunch. It’s bright, fresh, and so ridiculously flavorful that you might just eat it straight from the bowl (no judgment). Whether you need a no-fuss summer side or a feel-good meal that’s anything but boring, this one’s got you covered.

How to serve
This salad is giving effortless brunch energy. Throw it on the table with a crusty baguette, maybe some grilled shrimp if you’re feeling fancy, and let everyone dig in. It’s just as good as a light lunch or a colorful side at your next barbecue. Bonus points if you serve it with a chilled glass of white wine.

How to store
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Corn is best enjoyed fresh, but you do you.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Not every recipe turns out as expected, but sometimes the result is even better! This Chocolate Mint Oil was supposed to capture both chocolate and mint flavors, but only the fresh, vibrant mint transferred – and honestly? It’s absolutely delicious. The cocoa nibs didn’t quite make the impact I hoped for, but the minty finish is so versatile and refreshing. Perfect for sweet and savory dishes, this oil still deserves a spot in your kitchen.

How to serve
Drizzle this minty oil over fresh salads for a herby twist or use it to finish a dessert like brownies, ice cream, or fruit salads. It also works as a light drizzle over roasted vegetables, adding a subtle mint freshness to balance the flavors. For an unexpected yet delicious pairing, try it with lamb or feta cheese for a Mediterranean-inspired vibe. Versatile and fresh, it’s a little experiment gone right. For an extravagant dessert with a wow factor, you absolutely have to try this oil on my Vanilla Parfait with Chocolate Soil!

How to store
Store this infused oil in a clean, airtight bottle in the fridge for up to one week.

  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 40 min
  • Yield: 1 cup / 250 ml 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine mesh strainers
  • oil bottle
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 15 grams cocoa nibs
  • 15 grams fresh mint

Vanilla Cupcakes with Pink Dragonfruit Frosting


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 60 min
  • Yield: 18 cupcakes 1x

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • cupcake tin
  • cupcake liners
  • two mixing bowls
  • electric mixer
  • fine mesh strainer
  • piping bag

Ingredients

Units Scale

CUPCAKE BATTER

  • 2 eggs
  • 200 grams white sugar
  • 115 grams butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 235 grams all-purpose flour
  • 120 milliliters full-fat milk
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt

PINK DRAGONFRUIT FROSTING

  • 150 grams cream cheese
  • 80 grams butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 300 grams powdered sugar
  • 50 grams flesh of a pink dragonfruit

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cupcake tin by lining it with cupcake liners. Set it aside. Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the eggs and sugar until they come together. Then, add the vanilla extract and softened butter. Mix everything until it’s well combined.
  3. Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder into another bowl using a fine mesh strainer. Measure the milk. Now, in 4 additions, alternately add the milk and flour mixture to the butter-sugar-egg mixture, mixing after each addition. Don’t overmix, or the batter will become tough.
  4. Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to portion the batter into the liners. Fill each about 2/3 full so the cupcakes don’t rise over the edges while baking.
  5. Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes. They’re done when you insert a toothpick into the center, and it comes out clean, without any batter sticking to it.
  6. Let the cupcakes cool on a wire rack.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Dice the pink dragon fruit and place it in a medium-sized bowl. Add the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Use an electric mixer to blend everything into a creamy mixture. If the frosting is too soft to hold its shape, place the bowl in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
  8. Fill a piping bag with the frosting and decorate the cupcakes. Optionally, garnish with a few pieces of dragon fruit.
