New Recipe + Cozy Favorite + Something Cool Inside
A summer drink to impress, a cozy meal to enjoy, and dessert dreams come true

Hi foodie,
Summer is officially here, and I’ve got the perfect recipe to kick things off! Is there anything better than sipping something fruity on a warm summer evening? I’ve been testing a bunch of refreshing drink recipes lately (you might remember my Classic Sangria or this list of easy cocktails), but today’s recipe is something special. It’s light, juicy, a little boozy, and honestly, it tastes like summer in a glass.
Of course, after a drink like that, you’ll need a good meal to go with it! That’s why I’m also bringing back one of your all-time favorites: my One Pot Chicken and Rice. I just updated this recipe today with new tips and photos, so if you haven’t made it in a while, now’s the perfect time to revisit it.
So, here’s what’s cooking (and chilling) this week—plus a few surprises at the end! Let’s dive in 👇
🍓 NEW: Strawberry Sangria Recipe

Light, fruity, and dangerously easy to drink—this Strawberry Sangria is made with fresh berries, citrus, white wine, and a splash of rum or your favorite liqueur. Just mix, chill, and pour. Perfect for BBQs, summer dinners, or just treating yourself!

My Ice Cream Course!

Okay, I know I already mentioned this (twice 😅)… but I just can’t help it—I’m still buzzing from the launch of my Ice Cream Course! This project took months of planning, testing, filming (and lots of taste-testing), and now it’s finally out in the world.
If you’ve been dreaming of making the creamiest gelato, fruity sorbets, or no-churn ice creams that don’t turn into an ice brick, this course is for you. It’s packed with everything I’ve learned—classics, creative twists, and even some wild flavor experiments I couldn’t resist throwing in.
So if you’ve been sitting on the fence, now’s the time to jump in and get churning. It’s fun, beginner-friendly, and available in 8 languages!
