Camarones a la plancha - Shrimp on the griddle

Camarones a la plancha - Shrimp on the griddle by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious mexican shrimp dish that you'll find served in the lovely seaside restaurants along both of Mexico's coast. The wonderful smells of the shrimp, garlic, and onion will fill your house and make everyone's mouths water. I cooked these tonight for Cinco de Mayo and both we and our kids absolutely loved them. I left…

Swai with Lemon-Basil Pesto

Swai with Lemon-Basil Pesto by John Spottiswood

We made this dish with Swai, but it would work equally well with basa, tilapia, catfish, sole, or any other mild and flaky white fish. The pesto is bright and citrusy and contrasts well with the mild, garlicky flavor of the fish. Our kids loved it and all went back for seconds. We served it with fresh artichoke and rice.

Succotash with Fresh Herbs & Smoked Meat

Succotash with Fresh Herbs & Smoked Meat by Amos Miller

To a great extent, succotash was another of the many gifts to the table from Native Americans. Corn, beans and meat are a tasty and nourishing combination, whatever the type of bean or meat. In this recipe the real flavor play is brought forward by the addition of fresh herbs. After all, corn and beans have no real pronounced flavors…

Moules a la Provencale

Moules a la Provencale by Ali El Safy

One of our favorite appetizers. Also makes a great meal with fries. I recommend that home chefs get their butcher to clean the mussels before you take them home. Most stores will do this for you.

Homemade Swedish Pancakes

Homemade Swedish Pancakes by Nancy Miyasaki

I love swedish pancakes and have made them for a few years from a mix I bought at Trader Joes. I was out of the mix a few weeks ago, so I tried making them from scratch. It turned out to be incredibly simple and the kids love these as much if not more as the pre-packaged mix. It's also quite a bit cheaper and means one less box I…

Binagoongang Baboy (Pork with Shrimp Paste)

Binagoongang Baboy (Pork with Shrimp Paste) by ShaleeDP

This is a native Filipino dish that many locals enjoy. To the foreign tongue, it may come quite a bit strong because of the shrimp paste. You can adjust the quantity to make it a bit less salty. I prefer it less salty too. :)

Beef Tenderloin Stroganoff With Dill Weed

Beef Tenderloin Stroganoff With Dill Weed by Bob Vincent

This Stroganoff dish is adapted from one my Mom made for the family on special occasions. She got hers from a Spice Islands Cook Book published in 1961. I have modified it significantly. The original used Sirloin steak. I used Beef Tenderloin only because I had some frozen that needed to be used. Any cut of beef will work but…

Gado-gado sauce

Gado-gado sauce by Mihir Shah

This is a sauce my grandmother used to make. Meant to be served over mixed greens or can even be used as a cocktail dip. I like it over a mixture of steamed rice, egg, and steamed vegetables. Awesome!
