Pasta with Tomato and Roasted Eggplant

Pasta with Tomato and Roasted Eggplant by Nancy Miyasaki

A adapted this from a recipe in Alice Waters' Chez Panisse Vegetables cookbook. My other eggplant pasta dishes all call for fried eggplant, which is delicious but messy and time consuming. So I was eager to try a roasted version. I slightly prefer the flavor of the traditional, fried eggplant, but given the reduction in effort I…

Peruvian Roast Chicken

Peruvian Roast Chicken by John Spottiswood

This is a fantastic recipe that I adapted from the Cook's Illustrated Cookbook. I was looking for a new family favorite to rival my Cumin Chicken recipe, and this came darn close.

Shrimp in Green Garlic Sauce

Shrimp in Green Garlic Sauce by John Spottiswood

Wow, this is a really powerful and delicious dish. If you are looking for subtle flavors, search elsewhere. But if you're in the mood for a garlicky, "must dip my bread in every last bit of that sauce", type of dish, you cannot beat this. I'll admit our kids are not normal, but all four of them downed these shrimp and were dipping…

Lemon-garlic Chicken with Olives by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a delicious dish. The roasted garlic is so good you will want to spread it on the bread you serve this with. Bring it to the table with the pot or pan you cook it in for extra ease.
