Left-Over Chicken Spring Rolls

Left-Over Chicken Spring Rolls by Clarisa Skinner

I am following the Virgin Diet (no dairy, gluten, soy, corn, peanuts, eggs or sugar/artificial sweeteners). I have been really struggling with not being able to use soy sauce - since I love asian cuisine and many of the recipes have soy sauce as an ingredient. Also, my favorite sauce to eat with spring rolls is a sweet chili sauce…

Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut Squash Soup by Judy Fisher

This savory soup is delicious and filling on a cool day. The curry and garlic give it a wonderful flavor. This is a family favorite that I learned at a cooking class given by Rachel Perelman who is the chef at my daughter's school. Serve with salad and a crusty bread.

Shrimp and Tofu Donburi

Shrimp and Tofu Donburi by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from a mixed tempura donburi, substituting fresh shrimp and tofu without the tempura batter. The result is a healthier, and still very tasty, dish that our whole family really enjoys. You can use chicken or salmon in place of the shrimp, and it is equally delicious! Donburi's are wonderful cold weather food.…

Asian Seafood and Noodle Soup by John Spottiswood

We had this dish at a seaside restaurant in Campbell River, BC called Quay West. It was beautiful and delicious. The broth reminded me of the tasty soba dishes I had when I lived in Japan. So I made a version of this while in San Luis Obispo. The sauce is tremendous and I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. It will provide some nice…

We had a very simple soup the other day called kongnamul guk (beansprout soup) and it couldn't have tasted better with its mild and refreshing broth. We are accustomed to eating spicy jjigaes (soup/stew) that Korean food is known for, so it was a nice change of pace to get something light and clean. The broth is made from boiling…
