We were both raised with Sicilian traditions. So, picking a decadent Sicilian dessert recipe from all the memories we had as children was tough. Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, has a long history of being invaded and conquered. But in typical Sicilian fashion, it has made them tougher and created inspiration from around […]
Hot deliciousness in a cup? Yes Please!

Coffee is about the most varied beverage in the world. Every culture has its recipes for roasting and there spins on brewing. We are coffee lovers so a trip abroad would be amiss without a trip to a local cafe. A local cafe showcases the community it represents. It’s a great way to experience some […]

The country receives considerable notice from the foodie world for its unique mix of Creole delicacies, Caribbean staples, and French classics.

Baiganee – this is a very traditional snack but also served as a side dish. It is created with sliced eggplant, or baigan that is coated […]

For a little more than the cost of a Disney vacation, we will be seeing Amsterdam, […]
