While traveling around the world, we continue to search for new additions to our recipe book. We've learned a lot from Poland, California, Arizona, New Jersey, New York, and Texas, and added just a touch of South Asia, Italy, Thailand, Germany, Mexico, Hungary, Greece, Russia, Bulgaria and we even braved the British Isles. We might even recommend a restaurant or two we've visited along the way. We hope you'll enjoy. Bon appetit, guten Appetit, smacznego and cheers!

It depends where you are in the world folks but I am sure some of you have either gone strawberry picking already or picked some from your garden. The strawberry season is so short, we should enjoy it as much as we can. Eating seasonally brings completely new sensations to our palates. Especially if we are talking about strawberries. These gorgeous berries should be picked from the bushes and eaten within a few hours. Unfortunately, the berries we purchase from the stores, imported from different countries, lack strawberry flavor. They might look spectacular in the store but you will only experience the true taste of the strawberry when it is picked locally the same day. I hope you will enjoy this smoothie! Check your fruit calendar season, pick up a basket and head to the farm. Our strawberries were picked from Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls, TX.
