RECIPE // CAST IRON LAVENDER BANANA BREAD with LAVENDER LEMON GLAZE
I have a love/like relationship with bananas, but I'm always down to make/eat banana bread. To be honest, I use a different recipe each time because it's super simple! This time I used a recipe from Broma Bakery and tweaked it because I never really follow a recipe, just can't help going rogue. I wanted to add some herbs, surprise surprise, and during these Carona times, I only used things that I had in the house.
JAMAICAN JERK TOSTONES
Traditionally tostones are made with savory green bananas, they can be used in this recipe, however, I love how the sweetness of my non-traditional choice goes with the spicy, fresh, and creamy textures of the toppings.
GIN & TONIC
I infused gin overnight with dried hibiscus leaves which left it with this beautiful bright hue. During the trip, my friend and I ate so much fresh and exotic fruit, and at the start of a great night out, we had delicious artisanal cocktails from Alquimico. This cocktail recipe is inspired by those experiences.
