Turkish Red Pepper & Walnut Dip by John Spottiswood

I've had this appetizer numerous times at my favorite nearby Turkish restaurant, New Kapadokia. I finally made it myself for a number of guests and it was a big hit. Slightly sweet, slightly spicy, and very flavorful. I served it with high quality hummus and babaganoush, and the red pepper dip was the most popular. Give it a try!

Truffle-crusted Beef Tenderloin by Roland Passot

You'll want to serve this dish immediately after it's cooked over haricot verts with a truffle Madeira sauce.

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!

Tandoori Chicken by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a very flavorful tandoori recipe that is easy to make at home. We served it two nights in a row, the second night with guests, and everyone loved it.

Mexican Garlic Broiled Tilapia by John Spottiswood

I love the lime-garlic flavored fish that I get when I'm down in Mexico, especially in Puerto Vallarta. Normally it is grilled down there, but I think the recipe on the broiler does an even better job. The fish stays very moist, but still gets a little crispy on top from the broiler. The lemon-garlic-butter flavor is to die for. My…

Chilean empanadas by Arturo Féliz-Camilo

Some years ago I tried them and since then I've been a fan!

Bobby Lovera's T-Bone Lamb Chops with Sundried Tomato Salad by Bobby Lovera

You'll love these easy T-Bone Lamb Chops grilled or broiled. Long marinade is the trick.

Tortilla (omelette with potatoes) by Mary Shaldibina

Spanish cuisine. One of my favorite dishes.

Tilapia Broiled Egyptian Style by John Spottiswood

We adopted this recipe from our Egyptian babysitter in San Francisco named Hoda. We came to her house once to pick up our son and were greeted by the most amazing smell! She invited us to take a bite of the tilapia she had cooked. We were smitten. It was the first broiled, then soaked, recipe we had tasted, and it is still one of…

Moroccan Broiled Fish Skewers or Fillets by John Spottiswood

This is a tasty Moroccan dish that you are sure to love. Serve it over salad, cous cous, bulgar pilaf, or white or brown rice. We've used thick white fish but also thinner fish like catfish or tilapia when they are more reasonable. You can't skewer them, but you can broil the whole fillet (see picture). It also works with salmon…

Broiled Asian Salmon with Scallions and Sesame by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious and flavorful dish. I'm always looking for new and innovative ways to cook salmon. This is a spicy take on the traditional teriyaki salmon, and the plating is beautiful. Given that it is a minor variation of a Bon Appetit recipe, it is also remarkably easy.

Fire Roasted Tomato & Jalapeño Salsa by Marlin Rinehart

This authentic Mexican salsa is by far my favorite. The tomatoes, preferably Romas, are roasted under the broiler until the skins are partially charred with black spots. The intense heat internally caramelizes some of the natural fruit sugar. The garlic and jalapeño are also roasted. Roasting gives the salsa character and depth of…

Creole Flank Steak by Amos Miller

If you have a flank, skirt or pepper steak to prepare, give this Creole recipe a turn for large flavor on a pretty small budget. You can feed 4 hungry folks on this New Orleans-inspired take on steak, inspired by Austin Leslie. This is so good served with steamed medium-grain rice. The unique combination of ingredients in this…
