In case you were wondering how the Mosaic Cafe got its name...

It's been another fabulous week here at the Hot Dish as we celebrate the world of Twin Cities dining and imbibing. Here are a few of week's top stories.

~Artfully prepared dishes made with sparkling fresh and healthy ingredients: Birdhouse is all that and more. Read our review and take a photo tour.

~Party Nordic-style with a homemade batch of aquavit. We'll show you how.

~The Twin Cities' amazing selection of farmers markets is one the best parts of summer. Check out our picks for the 10 best.
