It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Combining caramelized onions, ripe tomatoes, fresh ginger, cilantro, and aromatic spices, this curry sauce adds a Caribbean touch to any dish.

2 tablespoons mild vegetable oil
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 piece (1-inch size) fresh ginger, peeled
1 1/2 pound red-ripe tomatoes, cored, quartered
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoon garam masala or curry powder
Heat oil in a heavy, medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add onions and stir-fry until onions turn caramel brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
Place in a blender with the ginger, tomatoes, cilantro, cayenne and salt; puree until smooth.
Transfer to a medium-size saucepan. Stir in garam masala or curry powder, cover, and cook over medium heat until tomatoes loose their raw aroma, 15 to 18 minutes.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
