Lavender Limeade
A sweet and refreshing limeade with a touch of lavender. I spent my week debating what lavender recipe to try out after I recently bought a big bush of it. I was tempted to use it for lavender tea but then again, it’s summer and I couldn’t publicly admit that I am a crazy person…

Panzanella (Italian Bread Salad)
A salad of crusty rustic bread with fresh summer tomatoes, aromatic herbs and notes of garlic. Phew, we’re finally back home after a month of being abroad.

Mango Cherry Smoothie
Sweet mango and tangy cherries combine to make a wonderful layered and colorful summer drink.
