Mi nombre is Bren but they call me B! I cook for cool people in my baddest pump
and leave them wanting more. I believe pressure cooking is the best thing that
could have been invented & thank mami for teaching me how to use it.
God forbid I start my day without 4 shots of Cuban espresso!

Star Anise
Really native to China and India, Star Anise is an evergreen seed we use in our foods to give dishes a distinct flavor. Its licorice aroma and taste definitely makes for a unique flavor. Our primary use though is to alleviate stomach pain and gas associated with acid reflux. I grew up drinking anise tea my mom would make if any of us felt sick. So today I make tea when I don’t feel so well. It really does help! Stick a few stars in boiling water and let it steep for 3 minutes. I also have started using it to make drinks and dessert. A new fave spice in my rack!
