Its date night and we wanted to celebrate with something extra special. Patti found a beef tenderloin and made a special garlicky wine sauce for it.

Chinese Green Tea and Lemon Chicken by Smokinhotchef

I created a recipe using loose Chinese Green Tea and lemon as the primary flavor builder for grilled chicken leg quarters. The end product was a subtly flavored and citrus scented bird with lots of smoky infusion and a cacophonous blend of earthy tones. Using this tea as a marinade, helps to infuse the chicken with the boundless…

Chopstick Tuna by Glenn

Got this from the Lititz Church of the Brethren cookbook, credited to Mim Hershey and it surprised me. It was simple to prepare yet had a taste that was surprisingly complex.

Tips to Light & Crunchy Fish & Chips by Blackswan

My son loves Fish & Chips; he kept bugging me to make his favourite food. It’s a compliment that he still likes his mum’s cooking. Most restaurants use Dory instead of Cod as it’s more economical. I’m using Dory too as I find it a waste to deep-fry the expensive Cod dish.
