Recipes
Nigella Lawson’s Turkish Eggs
Trust Nigella: Turkish eggs, eggs poached on Greek yogurt, is a revelation and a complete sensation.
Nigella Lawson’s Spicy Mint Lamb Chops with a Preserved Lemon and Mint Sauce
You do need to marinate the lamb for 30 minutes or so, but you can pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back and enjoy it, then whizz up the mint sauce in the meantime.
Faith’s Bourbon Glazed Peaches on the Grill
Summer is the time for grilling and peaches! This easy dessert is great with a dry pink sparkling rose, such as an inexpensive Segura Viudas.
Alex Province’s Spanish Gin & Tonic
The classic Gin and Tonic recipe gets a Spanish makeover with rosemary, thyme, and mint. Plus, add citrus and rinds in a big balloon glass as well. Festive!
One-Bottle Cocktail: Grilled Margarita
In simple recipes, the little things count. This margarita variation gets a caramelly richness from aged tequila and agave nectar, bumped up with grilled lemon halves. The fruit gets browned quickly, then adds a slightly sweet, toasty flavor to the drink.
