I realized I was missing this ritual. The research, the recipe exploring, the ingredient hunting, making a disastrous mess of the kitchen, and trying new foods. Hearing F1 in the background while whisking or chopping, I hope, will always be a part of my personal happiness regimen.

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!

We wanted something savory and hearty to counteract the sudden turn to cold weather here at home. Also, that just seems like the right way to go when watching the Russian Grand Prix (even if the weather there was bright and sunny). These Beef Belyashi (also known as Pirsohki) hit the spot.
