  1. This speaks to my Ginger-lovin heart. I had a Ginger Margharita last night and I’m still smiling from it. Thanks for the inspiration.

  2. Fantastic! This sustains my soul. I had some ginger and honeycomb ice-cream a few weeks ago (even though it was February) and it was magical.

  3. Ginger is oh so warming and fiery and yet soothing and gets things flowing, especially your digestive system.

    As someone who lives on a boat (with an easily seasick partner), I’m so pumped to try out some of these recipes. Up until now, I’ve really only used it in drinks and cookies.

    Thanks Carolyn!

  4. I’ve been in a serious ginger phase lately, so this is everything I needed in my life.
