I've always loved the combination of sweet and savory and this tagine adapted from Claudia Roden's spectacular book Arabesque is, for me, the perfect blend of flavors. By using Spice Tree Organics newest spice blend, Ras El Hanout, I got all the aromas of North Africa without having to hunt through my spice cupboard.

Sometimes there’s nothing quite like a sweet shortcut when you’re pressed for time. My favorite cheats are sweet cheats. We all lead busy lives and the idea of baking a pie after a long day’s work can seem like a step too far. Years ago, one of my best friends whipped up this “faux” tarte tatin in minutes, and had I not seen her do it I would never have believed it was so easy. It’s now my go-to recipe for a dinner party dessert.

Another recipe from our cookbook, Recipes from Many Kitchens, Shrikhand or Saffron Yoghurt is a perfect way to end an Indian meal. A light and delicious dessert from Gujarat, its vivid color and flavor comes from the gorgeous saffron. Wonderfully creamy and cooling after a meal filled with spices, it is finished off with nuts to add a little crunch. Get the recipe

Thank you to all our producers, whether they be immigrants or descendants of immigrants, for enriching our palates and ensuring that our community is so much more than the sum of its parts.

This recipe is adapted from one of my favorite cookbooks and indeed blogs; What Katie Ate. More like pots de Crème than a mousse, a little goes a very long way with these decadently rich and fudgy desserts. I served them in espresso cups for that very reason and to give a nod to the coffee flavor that makes them so distinctive. There's a bit more work involved than your average chocolate mousse but it's definitely worth it. With the added benefit of needing to be made in advance, they're a great way to end any dinner party, not just Valentine's Day.
