Cowboy Caviar by Lynn YamamotoThis is fresh, healthy and delicious. People love it, even kids. You can make it ahead, so it's great for a summer party. Serve it with scoop-shaped tortilla chips, or have it on the side as a relish. I add extra cilantro, because there can never be too much cilantro! |

Chicken Lettuce Wraps by Joanne WeirThis is one of those dishes that I have to order every single time I go to Chinatown and see them on the menu. I love the crunch of the lettuce, the saltiness of the soy sauce, and the sweetness of the oyster sauce. You can substitute turkey, pork or squab with equally delicious results. |

The flavors of the pears, combined with the figs' texture and sweetness, the plump raisins and blend of vinegars easily marry to the aromatic spices. And a quality cracked… |

He tells endless tales of trying ceviche, which is seafoods 'cooked' in nothing but citrus juice.

Roasted almonds with Quinoa, Flax and Sunflower seed by John SpottiswoodThis is a great, healthy snack that we had up in Park City this week. We all munched happily all week, and got so much more nutrition from it than we would have from most packaged snacks. Super easy to make and beautiful too! |
