How to make a Tom Collins cocktail from scratch without sugary mixes. This classic gin cocktail is super easy to make and incredibly refreshing. Think of a Tom Collins cocktail as sparkling gin lemonade. It is usually served in a tall glass (highball) and has the perfect balance of tart, sweet, sour, and fizz. It’s easy and one of my favorite cocktails at Inspired Taste with our simple gin fizz as a strong runner! The Tom Collins also has the bonus of a maraschino cherry, which obviously wasn’t a traditional garnish when it was created but is now ubiquitous in … Read more

Why eat matzo? If you grew up with matzo ball soup, you may like the familiar taste (and I’m sure a lot of fun) using it, but don’t worry, breadcrumbs work just as well. The amount of noodles suggested for this soup is large because we like it that way, but for a classic balance, you might find 4 ounces just right. If you choose to cook your noodles in soup, do it with an additional 4 cups of broth. Meatballs 1 large egg 3 tablespoons (45 ml) water or milk 2 tablespoons chopped fresh-leaf parsley 1 clove of garlic, … Read more

My family loves this cedar plank salmon made with a simple citrus and brown sugar rub! The salmon stays tender and juicy in the middle and takes on a very sweet smoky flavor from the cedar wood.

This is My Favorite Dessert. There is no priority right now. A creamy layer of dulce de leche + espresso-infused ladies’ fingers all fit into one creamy, delightful piece. It has all my heart. My list of favorite desserts: Over the past two years, I’ve bought an embarrassing number of individual tiramisu cups at a local “high end” grocery store (shoutout to Kowalski). They have a special variation in their bakery case called Dulce De Leche Tiramisu, and it’s my all-time favorite. So, basically what I did was I did it myself. Here’s a picture of me checking it out… … Read more

Then, when the cake comes out of the oven, we brush it with rum simple syrup. Very nice! This rum pound cake recipe is inspired by the Caribbean rum cake. I spent a few years in the Cayman Islands as a child, and I remember my parent’s excitement over rum cake! Now, I understand why. We infuse this pound cake batter with a combination of orange, vanilla, and dark rum, which … Read more
