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They were originally made for the marriage of the Duke of Orléans, who later became King Henry II of France.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.

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. After being shaped into small elongated kebabs and skewered, the meat is cooked in a tandoor until done, and it's then usually served hot with chutneys on the side. Kakori kebab is typically garnished with chaat masala, onion rings, and lemon wedges. The dish is especially popular on special occasions and festivals.

Ghost Pepper

Ghost pepper or bhut jolokia is a hot chili pepper that's cultivated in the Northeast Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur. Due to the fact that it's one of the spiciest chili peppers in the world, the Indian Army even uses them to create military grade chili grenades (smoke bombs). These peppers have a Scoville heat unit ranging from 855,000 to 1,041,427 SHU. The flavors are best described as fruity, sweet, and earthy. These hybrids of Capsicum chinense and Capsicum frutescens were proclaimed the world's hottest chili peppers in 2007 by Guinness World Records, but in 2013 the ghost pepper was superseded by Carolina Reaper, which can be twice as hot. Interestingly, locals sometimes smear ghost peppers on walls and fences to keep wild elephants at bay.

Mojito

This is one of today’s biggest selling cocktails in the world. No matter where you go in the world everyone knows what a Mojito is! I think this is the drink that has come to be from what all bartenders loved in the beginning to what all bartenders now hate to make due to all the 100s you do every night working in bars. Also I have never had a drink that can come out so differently in so many places! It is many places that struggle to get the right balance out of this cocktail. It is also because there is so many (wrong) different ways of making this classic cocktail. Before I start going in to that i would like to talk about the History of the mojito, because it do have a very interesting background to it, and as for such great cocktail it’s also many who would like to claim to be the creator of this drink! One story goes like this: In the 16th century there was a drink called" El Draque" (The Dragon) it was named in the honour of Sir Francs Drake. It was ...
