MALAYSIAN CURRY POWDER by Linda Tay Esposito

I re-created this recipe based on the memory of smell (oui, Rémy!) of the aroma in my late grandmother's house as she roasted curry powder. My grandmother roasted curry powder in a wok 1-yard in diameter, over a charcoal stove, and had all of us - her grandkids - tightly packed the spice mix into recycled glass ketchup bottles which…

Chicken Spaghetti by myra byanka

Fairly easy to prepare, especially using leftover chicken.

Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs by Amos Miller

A perfect appetizer, great hot or cold, and can be easily made the day before the party in a large crock pot. All you’ll need is toothpicks and tiny plates! I’ve built upon an interesting recipe I found for meatballs with a teriyaki sauce and the inclusion of, yes, dried cranberries. This was so tasty when I first made my…

Homemade Buffalo Wing Sauce by myra byanka

Two Memphis BBQ Sauces by myra byanka

In between the sweetness of Kansas City and spicier Texas bbq sauces. I use homemade chili powder, and if you don't, invest in a better quality powder like Gephardt's or Mexene.

Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa by Bombdiggity Hot Dogs

This is a great salsa on hot dogs or tortilla chips

Bread Dipping Oil and Vinaigrette by myra byanka

Bake a fresh loaf of bread or buy it still warm from the store, and dip pieces in this wonderful vinaigrette.

Tex Mex Guacamole with Serrano & Jalapeno Peppers by Wendi Taylor

A delicious treat that can be served as a topping for tacos or taco salad, a dip for corn chips, a spread for tortillas or pita bread, or on a bed of shredded lettuce as a salad in itself.
