How refreshing is a glass of tangy homemade ‘lemonade’? Made with real lemons, just enough sugar, and water. That’s it. Three ingredients! This isn’t a thick syrupy cordial, with random ingredients. It makes a deliciously light and zingy drink, when diluted with sparkling water. My son loves making homemade ‘lemonade’. It is a great school …

Who doesn’t love peanut sauce? Well, people with peanut allergies. And people who follow a paleo ‘non-legume’ diet. But that’s cool. More for me. I am kind of in love with it. So is my husband. Kids love it too. I particularly enjoy a Balinese peanut sauce, served in Bali, but this will do in a …
