	Spicy Coconut Chicken Curry by John Spottiswood This is more of an Indian than Thai curry, and has a condensed, pungent sauce. It is unusual and really wonderful. Curries are hit or miss with our kids, but they all loved this one (except for the peas...which meant more for me!) We served this with a brown/white rice mix and steamed brocco-flower. The sauce on this is so pungent…	16 votes 10 reviews 2 comments 20227 views
	Carnitas by Sergio Hernandez Carnitas are the Mexican version of pulled pork. Braised first in a spicy sauce, pork shoulder is slow cooked until so tender the meat just shreds easily with a fork, then it's roasted at high heat to make crispy browned bits full of flavor.	14 votes 6 reviews 2 comments 28459 views
	Polenta con salsicce e spuntature by Frank Fariello Rome is not especially known for its love of polenta, perhaps because its winters are relatively mild compared with those up in true polenta country skirting the southern rim of the Alps, but there is one polenta dish you are bound to find if you visit Rome in the cold weather months, polenta with sausages and spareribs simmered in…	11 votes 6 reviews 2 comments 13228 views

	Basque Chicken by John Spottiswood I had one of the best meals of my life, while on a wine-tasting trip with my father in Paso Robles, California, at a small restaurant called the 10th St. Basque Cafe. They only offer one seating meal to everyone in the restaurant. But it's a many course affair with some absolutely amazing food. Upon recommendation from another…	9 votes 5 reviews 6 comments 6938 views
	Quick Meat Curry by John Spottiswood I've been looking for recipes from Indian-American moms who love the rich flavors of Indian food but who need to get meals on the table quickly. So I'm really enjoying the book Saffron to Sassafras written by the Indian Women's Association of Louisiana.in Baton Rouge. There is nothing original about this simple recipe except the…	9 votes 4 reviews 7 comments 10556 views
	Pasta a risotto (Risotto-style Pasta) by Frank Fariello One of the guilty pleasures that I have never, up to now, revealed to a living soul is my penchant for late-night pasta snacks. But not just any pasta, but pastina of the kind usually used for soups, cooked in just enough liquid (usually a mixture of water and milk) so that by the time the liquid has almost evaporated, the pasta if…	8 votes 4 reviews 2 comments 14175 views
	Butter Chicken - Chicken Makhani by John Spottiswood My kids love Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken) and Chicken Tikka Masala whenever we go to an Indian buffet. So we tried replicating it at home. It's not a difficult dish to make once you have all the ingredients, and the results are delicious! It also gains flavor in your refrigerator over the next few days, so it's great for…	8 votes 2 reviews 2 comments 10415 views
	Chicken and Eggplant Tagine by John Spottiswood I was shopping for a chicken and eggplant stew and both the eggplant and the bell peppers were on sale...so I bought extra. We ended up making two different recipes that called for chicken and eggplant two nights in a row, so we were able to really compare. While we all loved the other recipe (chicken and eggplant stew..on this…	7 votes 2 reviews 2 comments 7903 views
	Pennette with Butternut Squash Purée and Sorrento Walnuts by Frank Fariello This easy and delicious recipe by Neapolitan chef Inghemarck Guida highlights the unique taste of Sorrento walnuts. Of course, if you can't get Sorrento walnuts, this dish will work with 'regular' walnuts--just make sure they are still fresh and flavorful. The original recipe calls for 'zucca' which is Italian for pumpkin. But…	7 votes 1 review 3852 views
	«Polpetielli» affogati (Baby Octopus Braised in Tomato Sauce) by Frank Fariello Octopus is a popular food all around the Mediterranean basin and yet elsewhere it is often, for some reason, 'controversial'. Many people who will happily scarf down fried calamari will shudder at the thought of eating its close cousin, which is too…	5 votes 1 review 9399 views
	Shrimp and Tofu with Bok Choy by Nancy Miyasaki This is a tasty, Chinese inspired dish that our family loved. Ladle it over brown or jasmine rice on a cool evening. My recipe has double the tofu of the original recipe, and I will probably use even more tofu, and less shrimp, the next time around. Feel free to adjust the quantity of each based on your tastes.	5 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 3713 views
	Creole Spiced Pork Chops by Amos Miller Pork chops with chops! These nicely spiced cuts can be toned up or down, depending on your taste. Gluten-free diners will enjoy these with King Arthur, Domata or Hodgson Mill flour. All Purpose works just fine. Thanks to Chef Austin for the inspiration!	4 votes 3 reviews 9465 views
	Chinese Braised Oxtails with Root Vegetables by Joyce Leung A hearty oxtail dish with star anise, Chinese mushroom, daikon and carrots. The oxtails turn tender when cooked slow and the bones add a lot of favor to the meat.	4 votes 2 reviews 29092 views
	SHANGHAINESE LION’S HEAD by Linda Tay Esposito They call it Lion's Head because the meatballs are ye big with manes of soft, tender napa cabbage...looking like a lion. Seriously, in Shanghai, the meatballs are the size of a tennis ball - let's call that a quarter pounder meatball. Slowly braise or steam to get a tender, melt-in-your-mouth meatballs. If you have a small…	4 votes 1 review 1 comment 19121 views
