For the Miami GP this year, we went for a full table of Cuban fare, from these shrimp cooked in a citrus and garlic marinade and then coated in butter and honey, to Fried Corn Fritters, and a bright and creamy Pineapple and Avocado Salad.

This meal is perfect for guests because the Tomato Rice can be made ahead of time and warmed in the pot, the Sweet Sour Carrots are marinated overnight and served just cooler than room temperature, and the Piri-Piri Shrimp and veggies can be cooked outside with your guests.

Spain gets the double if not triple treatment each year thanks to two weeks of Pre-Season testing and the race at Circuit de Catalunya Barcelona. It’s a good thing there is such a variety of menu options and recipes to make! I have at least three cookbooks focusing on Spain, and still find delicious sounding things I have never tried before every time I open them.

I am pretty sure that Singapore Curry Noodles are not “authentic” Singaporean cuisine. But who cares! Does it taste good? Yes. Should you make it for dinner? Yes. Let’s go!

When I read about Bahraini cuisine, the consensus is that is is a rich mix of Arabic, Persian, Indian, African and European cuisines. You can taste that in this meal with tamarind flavors, cardamom and cinnamon, and of course with the staple of rice and seafood, it is a pretty good meal to exemplify the small island state and their eclectic and rich food culture.

For the Australian Grand Prix this year we made Grilled Shrimp and Corn Rolls with Smashed Avocado spread. They were delicious! Served with a bright little salad and a few bottles of Cooper’s Beer, it was a lovely start to the new season. I couldn’t resist find a recipe for grilled shrimp, just so I could say we were having shrimp on the barbie!

This spread came together pretty quickly and hit all the right buttons for a little bit of finger food, a little bit of crusty bread to sop up some saucy stuff, and some veggies strewn throughout. A nice glass of Spanish Rioja topped off the evening perfectly.

Guest Chef, Rob learned to make Paella from his father who in his army days was stationed for a time in Morocco. It was great hearing stories about food, travel, and family tradition. Rob now uses the Paella Mixta recipe from Saveur as a base recipe, as it is the closest he has found to his father's take on Paella.

These dishes would warm anyone's bones. Both of Catalonian origin, the rice dish is emblematic of a common Catalonian cooking style where they freely mix meat and seafood, apparently this even has a name: mar y montaña (sea and mountain). And the greens were a perfect complement, though an "everyday first course" they added a special element to the meal. Followed up by a Vermouth Cocktail, this was a great foil to any poor weather.

In the mood for something bright and summery to battle the feeling of it being dark at 5:00 and consistently blustery outside, we made grilled Shrimp and Pepper Skewers (we even pulled the cover of the grill and brought it out of dormancy for the occasion), Black Bean and Rice Salad, Fresh Pineapple Salsa, Mojitos, and Key Lime Pie!

It is hard to say what is truly "Singaporean" cuisine. What I do know is that Singaporean cuisine is vibrant, complex, and incorporates many different cultures including influences Malay, Chinese, Indonesian, Indian, Peranakan and Western traditions. I tried my best for this race to find some definitively Singaporean dishes. See what you think!

The Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka always proves interesting. The fans are crazy, the racing great, and the food... so fun!

This race is all about the food and drink, though for me they all are. Paella and Sangria are like a match made in heaven. Easiest Sangria recipe ever, plus Paella covered in all the yummiest things: shrimp, clams, and mussels. And tapas to start off this food love affair.
