Knob Creek's smoked maple offering is a smooth, smoky and slightly sweet bourbon with full-bodied maple notes as well as hints of rich vanilla and caramel. It has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 45%, which means it needs to be incorporated in the barbecue sauce at the cooking stage, as opposed to just stirring it into a store-bought version of the condiment.
When my daughter first introduced me to Purely Elizabeth's granola, I was instantly hooked. With its blend of oats, quinoa, amaranth (a seed I had never even heard of before), nuts and berries, it was wholesome, crunchy and delicious. But here in Paris, it isn't something you can easily find in the shops. That's when I decided to create my own version, bringing together the best of those ingredients with a few personal touches.
