Love shrimp? Add beauty and flavor to grilled shrimp with this simple trick: Use fresh rosemary as your skewer. Look for large, woody rosemary bunches and soak the sprigs in water for 15 minutes prior to grilling, to prevent burning. Toss jumbo shrimp with olive oil; skewer 3 onto each sprig. Salt and pepper to taste. You can use a grilling pan or the outdoor grill, on medium hot. Grill until the shrimp are lightly curled, pink and opaque (approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side). Add a squeeze of fresh lime and serve. They’re so delicious, no sauce or condiment is required.

| If you regularly buy organic chocolate, you’ve probably tried Green & Black’s. If you’re not “experienced” with G&B’s, you’re in luck: The line is widely available at retail as well as online. The U.K.-based company was a pioneer in the organic chocolate space, the world’s first organic, Fair Trade chocolate company. It has helped the cacao farmers of Belize stay on their farms and do what they love—grow cacao—instead of taking city jobs to support their families. Green & Black’s has proved that a company can be committed to environmental sustainability and Fair Trade prices, and still make a tidy profit. In fact, Green & Black’s organic chocolate is the U.K.’s fastest-growing confectionary brand, which prompted corporate giant Cadbury Schweppes to purchase Green & Black’s, in which it had a small stake, in May 2005.
Most of Green & Black’s bars are flavored, with four notable exceptions: two darks, a milk and a white. What we like most about G&B’s bars is that the flavors are never coy on the palate; they’re strong and forthright, demanding your attention with every bite. Read the full review for more about Green & Black’s chocolate bars—available in 13 varieties. |
