This pupusa recipe is more of a technique based project than an ingredient based one. The only important ingredient is the masa. Because it is after all a maize cake! You can play around with the fillings and decide what you like best. I made a bean and cheese pupusa because it is what I had on hand. So feel free to use what you have on hand. If you have leftover taco meat, that will go nicely as a filling after you grind it up a little. You can also totally make them vegan with a filling of mushrooms …
White Chocolate Espresso Martini
The White Chocolate Espresso Martini is a vodka based martini, hence it could also be termed as a vodkatini or a kangaroo cocktail. As with all cocktails, it is super easy to make. All you have to do is to make sure that you are uber cool and have all the ingredients on hand. As much as it may surprise you, I am not the official cocktail maker in the family. Food and wine is as far as I go and then for the occasions when the menu and mood need something rather creative with alcohol, it is Mr Spice …
Almond Linzer Cookies #CreativeCookieExchange
The Linzer cookies are named after the town from where they originated, Linz in Austria. The name, Linzer, came from Linzertorte, which is an Austrian torte/tart with a lattice top and blackcurrant jam filling. Created in the 17th century, the Linzer Torte is the world’s oldest torte recipe. The ingredient that distinguishes tortes is that they use nuts rather than flour as part of the main ingredient.

Nadir Yakhin – Lotus Roots in a yogurt sauce
A few of friends of Spiceroots recently asked me to share some traditional recipes from Kashmir. Today I chose to share the Nadir Yakhin – Lotus Roots in yogurt sauce, as it brings a lot of happy memories from my childhood. My cousin and I used to steal pieces of lotus roots from each other’s plates – just so the other did not get to eat one too many. We would sit next to each other and keep a sharp eye out for a moment when the other was not looking and grab it from the plate. Of course we …
