Mudslide Martini

Mudslide Martini

Even though this drink says cozy up to the fire, the Mudslide was actually created at the Wreck Bar in Rum Point on Grand Cayman Island. It is the islands’ signature drink today; so just think sandy beaches instead of apres-ski. It is potent so…

Pear and Prosciutto Flatbread

Pear and Prosciutto Flatbread

Whether you make your own pizza dough, buy Artisan Flatbread or Naan Bread; pears and prosciutto go so well together. Add a mild, smooth and silky cheese like Fontina and you have a fantastic appetizer or meal!

Grilled Vegetables and Feta

This is just about as easy as summer cooking can get, as an appetizer, side dish or vegetarian main. Toss any vegetables you have with olive oil, tuck slabs of Feta amongst them, and let the flavours come together. We love this served right off…

Cosmopolitan

Cosmopolitan

Were Cosmo’s much of a “thing” before Carrie Bradshaw? Not to sweet and not too tart; these drinks are meant to be sipped SLOWLY! We prefer Lemon Vodka but any good quality Vodka will do. Absolutely Delicious!

Cream of Tomato Soup
