Moscow mule

The history of the Moscow Mule goes back to 1941 and was invented by a John G. 
Martin and Jack Morgan owner of the of the Cock'n bull Tavern, a bar on the Sunset 
strip in Los Angeles.
The story goes that John had recently acquired the right to sell Smirnoff vodka in the 
US, and Jack had a very big supply of Ginger Beer at his establishment.
And so it came the Moscow Mule was born.
John used this recipe to promote his vodka around the country and it was a success! 
This drink made vodka very popular in the US, even to precede gin. 
The name they came up with together and the Moscow stands for the Russian vodka 
(these days Smirnoff vodka is not Russian vodka but produced all over the world).
What was the classic recipe that was first made? It was 2 shots of Russian vodka (old 
days Smirnoff) Ginger beer and a squeeze of Lime. 
This recipe is a very good one but during the years it has developed slightly and to my 
liking as well. Today most people put a few drops of Angostura bitter in there as well and 
I have to say for me this does the trick.
Category : Classic 
Glass : Hiball/Collins
Ingredients : 2 shots Vodka (Russian)
: Half of freshly squeezed Lime
: Top up Ginger Beer
: (dash of Angostura Bitters Optional)
Method : Build and Stir on cubed ice
Garnish : Lime Wheel / Lime wedge (Lime wedge is good if they want another 
lime squeeze in there)

kakori kebab

Kakori kebab is a traditional meat dish originating from the Indian town of Kakori in Uttar Pradesh. These kebabs are famous for their tender texture and fragrant aromas. They're prepared with a combination of mutton, ghee, eggs, cinnamon, and (often) chickpeas. The meat is marinated in a mixture of onions, mace, nutmeg, cumin, cardamom, cloves, green chili peppers, coriander, salt, black pepper, and ginger and garlic paste in order to become extremely tender.

Macarons

These small, round, sweet meringue-based cookie sandwiches with filling in the middle are light and crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle. Macarons, which first appeared in Italy in 1533 (albeit without the filling), got their name from the Italian word  maccherone , which means  fine dough . They were originally made for the marriage of the Duke of Orléans, who later became King Henry II of France. Food historians credit Pierre Desfontaines as the inventor of the macaron. He was the first to fill the cookies with a creamy ganache and stick them together, turning the humble almond cookie into the versatile treat we know today. Macarons are the most popular type of cookie in Paris, but they are popular throughout the rest of the world as well, and they appear with different fillings and in various sizes, colors, and flavors.
