Asian-Style Grilled Black Bass by John Spottiswood

This fish is simply delicious. The flesh is like butter and the flavor is from heaven. I know that sounds extreme, but it's true. I was in Costco and the fresh fish counter had whole black bass. I'd never made it before, but the woman behind the counter said it is similar to yellowtail (hamachi) which is one of my favorites, so I…

Cuban-style Steaks in Garlic-Lime Marinade by John Spottiswood

These steaks are a treat and a great way to make an inexpensive cut of meat memorable. You can use bottom round (best), top round, or a thin cut sirloin for this dish. The steaks should be cut about a 1/2 thick. Mine were a little thicker, so I pounded them with a mallet to thin them. In Cuban restaurants, this recipe is called…

Homemade Grilled Flatbread by John Spottiswood

I couldn't find any authentic pita bread or other flat bread at my local grocery store, so I decided to try grilling my own. It turned out to be really fun and not too difficult. And the taste was amazing. The hardest part was rolling out the dough (I doubled the recipe). Fortunately, I was able to do that while watching a playoff…

Greek Yogurt Pancakes by Michele Grason

I am not messing around here - these are really good pancakes! They are light and fluffy and moist and they might even be kind of good for you because they are made with non-fat Greek yogurt. At least that's what I am going to continue to tell myself as I make them every Saturday morning.

Firehouse Hamburger Barbecue by Glenn

Served at fairs and firehouse gatherings as well as church picnics and community events in Lancaster County, PA. The recipe is from Eva M. Koehler, my grandmother, of Lititz who served as a cook for the Ladies Auxiliary of the Lititz Volunteer Fire Company No. 1.

Caribbean Shirmp by John Spottiswood

This sweet and spicy shrimp will keep you coming back for more. It's seductively simple but very flavorful. It goes very well with blackeyed peas and rice!

Morning Crêpes by Sherwin Faden

Very good crepes to eat as is or with your favorite jam, peanut butter, maple syrup, cinnamon sugar. These are not dessert crepes as so they are not too sweet and go easily with anything.

New Mexican Red Chile Chicken by John Spottiswood

This recipe is very similar to the Southwestern Green Chile chicken I posted, but uses flavorful dried New Mexico chiles instead of fresh green chiles. Personally, I liked this version slightly better, but it was close. A mix of the two is ideal. I found ground New Mexican chile at the Safeway near us in part of the spice section…

Tri-tip served Gyros style by John Spottiswood

For the 4th of July this year I wanted to serve Greek style sandwiches with flat bread, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes and red onions. Given the large number of guests, kabobs would have taken forever. So I decided to marinate Tri-tip and slow cook it, then slice it Gyros style. This turned out to be really easy and was a huge hit. I…

Grilled Chicken Tikka by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from Steven Raichlen's The Barbecue Bible for a super bowl party. I added paprika and cumin and made a few other small changes. It came out amazingly flavorful and tender. I hope you'll try it!
