Sliced Seared Steak (Tagliata di Manzo) by daniellec1

Buy a little good quality steak and prepare it very quickly in a cast iron skillet with rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves. Amazing - you can make it for guests - and requires almost no preparation. Lightly smash the garlic cloves and the peels will come off easily. Add a salad or vegetable or potato dish on the side.

Sauteed Zucchini and Mushrooms by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a simple and fresh tasting dish that I created myself. I don't do that very often, but I must admit this was a success. I might try adding red onion and experiment with different spices, but honestly this is simple and delicious as is.

PADANG EGGPLANT by Linda Tay Esposito

Also known as "Terong Belado" this is a yummy and beautiful dish. The juxtaposition of the fiery red of the sambal with the brilliant purple of the eggplant is a feast for the eyes as well. The sambal can be used as a condiment for lots of other dishes. Try it with grilled salmon, or a bowl of laksa.

It still has the chewy, crepe-like texture of the traditional swedish pancake, with just a bit of nutty whole grain texture. Our kids say…

Glazed Carrots by Nancy Miyasaki

I made these carrots to be a sweet, vegetable side to go with the Caribbean Pork we made tonight. I wanted something that would be sweet like plantains, and these did the job perfectly. I adapted this from a Cook's Illustrated recipe, and I think the technique is a good one. They'd be nice as a a side with any grilled meat.

Brussels by John Spottiswood

No not the country famous for Beer, Diamonds and Waffles, but a rather a tested method to make anyone eat Brussel Sprouts. Serve as a side to steak, chicken piccata, or just over steamed rice. Provided and tested by my good friend Brian Bedrosian.

Ampalaya with Ground Pork by Lidy Concepcion

I hated Ampalaya (bitter gourd) -- this was before I got married. It turns out this is my husband's favorite and so I had to learn how to cook it, and eat it. It took awhile for me to like ampalaya, I can't take the bitter taste. Until I found the right way to prep it before cooking so it won't be too bitter. After slicing the gourd,…
