Whenever Margarita got sick, she always took comfort in her mother’s long list of home remedies.

To relieve a sore throat, mix fresh lime juice with both sugar and salt and add two drops of iodine. Upset stomach? Coffee grounds mixed with caramel will help to settle it.

For a bad headache, soak scallops in oloroso overnight and then cold smoke them on a cedar plank before finishing on a charcoal barbecue.
