By Intisar Khanani So, in celebration of cool weather coming my way, I'm sharing my absolutely favorite hot chocolate recipe. It's got a touch of spice which warms you a whole different way. Every fall, I mix up a double or triple batch, pour it into whatever bottles / jars I've got, and--well, who am I kidding?--immediately make myself a mug of pure awesomeness. If you're one of the lucky few, I've actually mailed you a zip-lock baggie of this (if you're even more lucky, customs and immigration did not poke a hole in it). But this is the first time I'm sharing this publicly, so gather round, my friends. It's time for some spicy goodness.

Bakso Soep (of Bakso sop of Bakso soto) is een Indische soep met "Bakso balletjes". Deze balletjes zijn kant en klaar te koop in iedere toko maar wij gaan ze zelf maken. Niet zo moeilijk hoor.

Spiced eggplant, lentils and mangoes combine deliciously in this Indian-inspired vegetarian salad. Customize the spiciness of this by choosing mild, medium or hot versions of salsa, chili powders and curry powder. The flavor is even better when the salad is prepared ahead.

Serve this versatile, Chai-spice-inspired salsa with seafood, grilled chicken, as part of a yogurt parfait, or on its own.

This light, fruity dessert is a German summertime staple - a mixed berry compote with custard. The fruity mix is ideal as a topping for granola or stirred through ice cream
