Spicy Shrimp Moroccan StyleThese prawns are absolutely fantastic. Every time I make them I marvel at the density and depth of the flavors. I typically leave the Cayenne pepper out of about half of them if I'm cooking for the whole family. I often serve these in combination with a Moroccan chicken, fish, or lamb dish, but they work fine on their own too. |

Cilantro ShrimpThis is a simple and absolutely delicious stir-fry shrimp dish. I've been looking for something easy and tasty like this. I have a new staple! I used a red chile sauce that we had on hand instead of the sambal oelek, and I added it selectively after stir frying to my husbands and my plates, but not to the kids plates. It was… |

CEVICHE! ~ Costa Rican StyleMy buddy, Ed, of Puerto Rican descent, spent his time in the Air Force in Central and South America. Ed's favorite dish: ceviche! He tells endless tales of trying ceviche, which is seafoods 'cooked' in nothing but citrus juice. Ed always said that the ceviche he would eat by the gallon, if he could get it, was that he had in Costa… |

Chicken ChasseurThis is a healthy version of chicken in the famous chasseur sauce containing onions and leeks, and flavored with white wine, tomatoes, and mushrooms. It's fancy and delicious enough to serve to dinner guests (we served it with three foodie couples and it was a hit!) and easy enough for a dinner at home. Try serving with garlic… |

Grilled Lamb KebabsThese light Moroccan seasonings produce extremely flavorful lamb. They enhance the natural flavor of the lamb without overwhelming it. Whether you like your lamb medium rare or well done, you'll still love this marinade. You can marinate as little as 30-60 minutes for a light flavoring (if so, I would recommend marinating at room… |

Steamed fish on TofuThis is a great dish we adapted from a Sunset recipe. It's subtle not powerful, but if you've ever had a steamed fish in Hawaii (Ono, etc.) and loved it then this dish will make you smile. The black beans, garlic and ginger are pungent and tasty! It's also gorgeous. Perfect to serve to a health minded crowd who also loves great… |

Vanilla Bean SnickerdoodlesWhat? You've never had a Snickerdoodle? Impossible! They're made with the basic of ingredients-- butter, flour, eggs. One cannot forget to add the cream of tartar, salt or baking soda. Or, it just wouldn't be a Snickerdoodle cookie, right? Last, but not least, you roll the cookie dough into a ball and give it a generous dusting of… |
