Exploring Cooking & Science
There’s chemistry involved every time we cook, and our ultimate goal is to Student-Proof our recipes so no one has to do any guesswork. All of our recipes include supplemental information about the science of what you’re trying to make, explained in a way anyone could understand.
Mango Mint Frosé
On a hot summer day, is there really anything better than an ice-cold slushy? In this case, we’re taking a fun twist on the classic frosé and packing it full of bright, refreshing flavours to bring a special something to any dinner party, girls’ night, or barbeque out there. The perfect combination of mango, mint, and lime to help cool you down and balance out the usual sweetness you get from cheap rose, while making your creation elegant the star of the show.
Rainy Day Hot Toddies
A classic Scottish, the Hot Toddy is a well-known method to warm you up on a cold day. Besides the secret ingredient (rum!), a good Hot Toddy contains all the warming spices we know and love like cinnamon, cloves, and even orange peel! Perfect to pair with a thunderstorm or snowstorm.
Layered Double Espresso G&T
Everyone knows the famous Espresso Martini, but I’m a little more of a gin&tonic drinker. This drink, inspired by the Fenster Cafe in Vienna, was the perfect drink to keep us going all New Year’s Eve of 2021. It’s light and bubbly, with the bitterness in the espresso perfectly balanced with the iced tonic. It’s incredibly easy to drink, so make sure you’re keeping track!
Lavender & Blackberry Bramble
A bramble is traditionally lemon, simple syrup, blackberries, sparkling water, and gin/vodka. I made some fresh lavender lemonade the other day and thought it might be fun to replace the lemon juice and simple syrup with my own lemonade. And thus the Lavender & Blackberry Bramble was born!
