Stir coarse salt with olive oil and make a light scrub that removes dead cells and leaves the skin smooth. For even better results, leave it a little longer, like a mask.

As an eye cream
Every night put a few drops of olive oil in the area around the eyes instead of cream.

Grilled Carrots with Avocado & Mint

1 tsp. cumin seeds

3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

2 tsp. honey

¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp. Saint George Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 serrano chile, thinly sliced

Peeled ginger, finely grated

Kosher salt

600gr medium carrots, scrubbed, halved lengthwise, tops trimmed

2 avocados, cut into large pieces

½ cup mint leaves

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a grill for medium heat. Toast cumin seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool.

Step 2

Coarsely crush cumin seeds in a mortar and pestle or with the flat side of a chef’s knife. Transfer to a large bowl. Add lemon juice and honey. Whisk in ¼ cup oil until combined, then stir in chile and ginger. Season with salt. Let sit until ready to serve, which will give the chile and ginger time to infuse into the sauce.

Step 3

Toss carrots with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Grill carrots, turning occasionally, until lightly charred in spots and tender, 14–18 minutes. Immediately transfer carrots to bowl with sauce. Toss to coat; season with salt.

Arrange avocado and carrots on a platter. Spoon any remaining sauce over, then top with mint. Serve carrots warm or at room temperature.

Roasted Peppers: Healthy and…delicious!

1.5kg mixed bell peppers and chiles (any more than 2 hot chiles and the peppers will end up spicy, which is delicious as long as that is what you are going for), large peppers seeded, cut off of cores into quarters

6 garlic cloves, lightly crushed

⅓ cup Saint George Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

300ml fresh mozzarella

Basil leaves (for serving)

1Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°. Toss peppers, chiles, garlic, and oil in a Dutch oven or heavy roasting pan; season with salt and pepper and toss again to coat. Cover and roast, tossing occasionally, until peppers are very tender, 2–2½ hours. Let cool.

Step 2

Arrange half of peppers on a platter. Top peppers with mozzarella and basil. Measure out 3 Tbsp. of the oily juices left behind and transfer to a small bowl (save remaining peppers and their juices for another use; we love them tossed with pasta, layered into sandwiches, or stirred into frittatas). Add vinegar; season with salt. Stir to combine, then drizzle dressing over salad.

Step 3

Do Ahead: Peppers can be roasted 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
