Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory plant that is related to ginger, whose rhizomes (roots) are used in recipes such as soups, stews, and curries. They are also dried and turned into powder, supplements. It’s tasty when minced like ginger and incorporated into your favorite smoothie or soup…like this one!

limOncellO tiramisù
Tiramisù (translating to “pick me up” or “cheer me up” in Italian) is classically made with the ladyfingers dipped in espresso and layered with a whipped custard mixed with mascarpone cheese.
