Testing this year, as in the past, will be in Barcelona at the Circuit de Catalunya. This gives me a perfect opportunity to use my new tome The Cuisines of Spain by Teresa Barrenechea. Plenty of dishes inspired by Catalonian cuisine perfect for a little pre-season tastiness!

Bibimbap, directly translated, means "mixed rice", it is a delicious melange of hot rice, just cooked veggies, crunchy fresh veg, tangy kimchi and runny yolked egg. Yum!

Lime, Mint, Sparkly... what's not to love?

As Deb at Smitten Kitchen notes, “despite the name, you don’t need key limes to make this. I mean, if you can get them, please do. They’re wonderful. But I made this, as I often do, with regular grocery store Persian limes and it’s no less dreamy with them.”

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!

The race calendar is up, the teams are finally all settled (we're looking at you Williams), Winter testing is just over a month away, and all the drivers are posting their workout selfies on instagram. I think it's time for some updates.

I have renamed this cake from how it appears in the book. I think it is primarily a nut flour cake with flavors of tangerine and apricot, it tastes mostly of apricots and almonds, hence my re-naming. However you call it, it is delicious.

I can't believe it is the end of the season already. The final race in Abu Dhabi is quite a spectacle and a great send off to what turned out to be a pretty exciting year.

Even on Oahu with the beach 15 feet from our Airbnb and the sunset streaming pink through the windows we managed to watch the Brazilian race.

Mexican GP dinner was definitely a few of my favorite things. Tacos, fresh fruit salsa, veggies, and of course margaritas.

I love Mexican food, and California-ized Mexican is just as good, but with more avocado. We made shredded chicken tacos and served them with homemade refried beans, stir fried zucchini, and fresh pineapple salsa. And of course we followed them up with some classic margaritas.

Let's go to that place our 5 year old selves might go. To that place that feels like home, childhood, and goes perfectly at the end of a picnic. Those are a few of my favorite things and this banana cream pie in a jar is too.

I found this slaw for one summer barbecue two or three years ago and it has been in constant rotation ever since. It is bright and tangy, it doubles easily, it rests well, it can be vegetarian or for a more robust side and if your party is omnivorous you can add a few slices crisp bacon to kick up the umami. Either way, it is a perfect side for most occasions!

American Classics aren't only books you read -- they are things you remember. They're ice cream cones, apple pie, gym class, parades, homeroom, and mac and cheese.

As I mentioned in my last post it was so hard to choose what to make for this race. I eventually closed my eyes and thought about some of my favorite food memories, with family, at get-togethers, childhood memories. This meal is a combination of all those things. The crowning achievement though is a recipe for killer pulled pork.

For the U.S. GP, there are so many recipes I have in mind. It is difficult to choose what to make for one's own country. What dishes exemplify the United States? Burgers. Apple Pie. Barbecue.

This cheesecake is honestly like nothing I have had before. It is fluffy and soufflé like, but with all the rich flavors of a just-sweet citrusy cheesecake. My husband deemed it an Angel Cheesecake and I think that is about right. Seriously fluffy and extraordinarily tasty, I highly recommend it!

For this race we made Japanese stir fry noodles (Yakisoba) and started the meal with Blistered Shishito Peppers which we serendipitously got from our Imperfect Produce delivery this week! I love all things noodles, and this dish is no exception. With a nice umami-savory sauce and lots of veggies it hits all the right buttons.
