Dutch West Indies Chicken Kebabs - Boka Dushi by John Spottiswood

This dish offers an amazing collage of flavors blending Indonesian, Portuguese, Spanish and West African flavors. Personally, I prefer the marinade and dipping sauce on these kebabs to traditional Indonesian satay. The heavy sweetness of the Indonesian peanut sauce is replaced by a tangy, spicy and slightly sweet mixture of peanuts,…

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…

Lemon Basil Grilled Chicken by John Spottiswood

This is a simple and tasty summer grilled chicken recipe. We usually cook this with legs or thighs, but it goes well with chicken breast too. Consider doubling the recipe as it is even better the next day. We used left overs of this chicken to make the chicken noodle soup I posted recently.

Korean-Style Hamburg Steak w Tomato Gravy by mykoreaneats

While growing up in the States, I never had the Korean version of the original Salisbury steak, but I did live off the latter through microwave meals in college.

Teriyaki Glazed Grilled Salmon by John Spottiswood

This is an excellent basic grilled salmon dish that i adapted from the Cook's Illustrated cookbook. Their recipe calls for maple syrup...which I don't keep on hand and just didn't sound right to me. I substituted a mix of oyster sauce and honey, which I think gives it a more traditional asian flavor than the maple syrup would.…

For my birthday this year, we grilled some tasty lamb chops as described below. I adapted the recipe from one by Giada De Laurentiis. It's a…

Chicken with Yogurt and Cucumber Salad by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a simple, quick and tasty dish that our whole family enjoyed. Perfect for a summer BBQ with friends or family! Tip: Keep pounded boneless chicken from sticking on the grill by making sure the cooking grate is super hot and spray the chicken with a non-stick oil (I used olive oil) instead of oiling the grate. Also, use a…
