Gazpacho done right: ripe tomatoes, cucumber, and peppers blended smooth, then topped with the same vegetables finely diced for crunch. A no-cook chilled soup with lime, Tabasco heat, and an optional vodka kick.
Pineapple sorbet: pure ripe pineapple pureed with simple syrup, brightened by lemon juice, and frozen into a smooth, scoopable tropical ice. No ice cream maker required.
A batch cranberry cosmopolitan you mix by the pitcher, vodka, cranberry, lime, and Cointreau with a fresh ginger kick. Shake to frosty, strain into a sugar-rimmed glass, and serve a crowd.
Brown sugar and toasted almond ice cream, a custard base with deep butterscotch notes, warm cinnamon, and crunchy toasted almonds. Made lighter with milk and evaporated milk, churned smooth and scoopable.
This is the best "Kahlua" recipe I've found. I added about 1/4 cup brandy to the recipe.
Black Russian brownies stacked with Kahlua, vodka, and a whisper of black pepper for a fudgy, boozy bite. Named for the cocktail, walnut-studded, and built on unsweetened chocolate so the cocoa keeps its bitter edge.
A rich vanilla frozen yogurt. The rich custard taste and mouth feel come from the egg yolks with a smooth vanilla flavor from the vanilla bean.
Quick limoncello skips the weeks of steeping and shakes together fresh lemon juice and zest, simple syrup, and vodka for a bright Italian after-dinner sipper ready in under an hour. No patience required.
A simply delicious dish. It was very easy to make, and tasted creamy and flavourful. If you like smoked salmon and a creamy style pasta dish, you should definitely give this recipe a go.
An easy flaming chicken main dish that even picky teenagers will gobble up. Very simple ingredients with a tasty sauce perfect for potatoes or rice on the side. Flames optional but worth the excitement.
Frozen Black Irish is a boozy mocha milkshake blended with Kahlua, Irish cream, vodka, and chocolate ice cream. A rich, frozen cocktail that tastes like a coffee shop treat with a serious kick.
A supe'ed up version of a White Russian. Tastes so smooth and delicious, but look out...it'll throw you for a a loop. My favorite drink!
The Bedroom Calling Shot is a potent four-spirit cocktail mixing tequila, vodka, gin, and rum with cola and whiskey sour mix. One sip and you'll know how it got its name.

Scampi Principessa with butterflied shrimp poached in white wine, flambéed with aquavit, then served in cold yogurt sauce. An elegant Italian-Scandinavian appetizer ready in 20 minutes.
Italian-American penne alla vodka built on cream, butter, and ripe tomato. The vodka spends 24 hours infused with dried red peppers for a deeper, mildly fiery edge. Glossy, restaurant-style pasta.
