Miso Salmon (Dengaku)

Miso Salmon (Dengaku) by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a wonderful, mildly flavored dish. Japanese food is comfort food for me, and nothing goes down more smoothly than this dish. The sweet and salty miso glaze brings out the best in the salmon without overpowering it. Our kids love it too!

Spanakopita (Spinach Pie)

Spanakopita (Spinach Pie) by Nancy Miyasaki

I love spanakopita, but it's too much work. This is a great way to make spanakopita for a crowd. And it's really yummy, too! Just remember the filo has to be defrosted overnight or for 5 hours before assembling.

Bread Stuffing with Mushrooms and Bacon

Bread Stuffing with Mushrooms and Bacon by Nancy Miyasaki

The turkey's flavors of bacon and sage are repeated in this robust stuffing. Mushrooms, which have long been hunted in the heartland, add a nice touch.

Sweet Potato-Banana Purée

Sweet Potato-Banana Purée by Nancy Miyasaki

This fruity purée from Chef Ron Siegel of Masa's in San Francisco may be made up to 1 day ahead; cool, cover, and chill. Reheat, covered, in a microwave oven on full power (100%), stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes. I wouldn't have thought banana would be a positive addition to a sweet potato puree, but it really is. The…

Romaine Salad with Lemon-Parmesan Dressing

Romaine Salad with Lemon-Parmesan Dressing by Nancy Miyasaki

A simple but fantastic salad with a very nice dressing. Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes add depth and flavor to this salad. We all really enjoyed this. Another amazing dish from my good friend Marci Chan!

Blu Jam Cafe's Goulash

Blu Jam Cafe's Goulash by Nancy Miyasaki

We were served this by my good friend Marci Chan who is an awesome cook. It's good comfort food. Not too spicy, perfect for a cold winter day and for kids who like delicious, mild food. This recipe was adapted from Chef Kamil Majer of Blu Jam Cafe. Equal amounts of hot and sweet Hungarian paprika were used; adjust the paprika to…

Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie

Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie by Nancy Miyasaki

I have a number of great chocolate chip cookie recipes. This is probably my kids' favorite. I'm not sure it's truly the original, but if it's not I can't imagine the original is much better! I love the way I can sneak the oatmeal in by grinding it to a powder and my kids don't even notice it! It may not make them health food, but…

Crock Pot Chile Verde

Crock Pot Chile Verde by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a super easy and delicious Chile Verde. We make a great Chile Verde from scratch with fresh tomatillos, but it's a lot of work. If you're tight for time, this recipe is 90% as good with a third the effort. The canned green salsa is made from tomatillos and the combination is really delicious. You can probably find a larger…

Pumpkin White Chocolate Macadamia Bars

Pumpkin White Chocolate Macadamia Bars by Nancy Miyasaki

These were a huge hit at my October book club! You've never tasted anything quite like them...but you need to. These will make a beautiful display for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Try making them with the Pumpkin Cookies with Icing that I posted. They make a beautiful combination (see photo together). But if you just have time to…

Pumpkin Cookies with Icing

Pumpkin Cookies with Icing by Nancy Miyasaki

I served these at my October book club along with the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars. They were good, and the icing makes them attractive, but the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars were the bigger hit. That said, they make an attractive combination and it's fun to try one of each. So if you are looking for a nice combination of sweets to put out on…
