Herb and Spice Brine Leg of Lamb

Herb and Spice Brine Leg of Lamb by Smokinhotchef

This may be one of my best creations yet. There are an array of herbs and spices, most from my own garden, that help bring this leg of lamb up to that of a prized dish in any locale. The lamb is seasoned in a brine refrigerated for up to 36 hours, so it is essentially a make ahead dish. There is no need for further seasoning…

Grilled Shrimp

Grilled Shrimp by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a very tasty grilled shrimp recipe. The ingredients don't sound like they would go together that well, but the result is fantastic. Try this summer on the grill. My kids loved it..with 9 year old Kyle finishing off 2 whole skewers!

Swai with Lemon-Basil Pesto

Swai with Lemon-Basil Pesto by John Spottiswood

We made this dish with Swai, but it would work equally well with basa, tilapia, catfish, sole, or any other mild and flaky white fish. The pesto is bright and citrusy and contrasts well with the mild, garlicky flavor of the fish. Our kids loved it and all went back for seconds. We served it with fresh artichoke and rice.

Oxtails and Mushroom Mirepoix in Red Wine Reduction

Oxtails and Mushroom Mirepoix in Red Wine Reduction by Smokinhotchef

Savory beef 'oxtails' served in yet another way no less spectacular than the last. A full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon serves as both the marinade and sauce for this recipe. Earthy mushrooms and simmering staples help bring this recipe inspired by Julia Child to it's full capacity. Perfect for a evening of showcasing the diversity of…

Barbecue Pork Ribs - Hawaiin style

Barbecue Pork Ribs - Hawaiin style by Daniel Miyasaki

I've been cooking pork ribs for many years in many different styles. This is my favorite. It's not a lot of work and everyone who has tried them has raved about them. They are even better as left overs the next day. They are very flavorful, so you don't need to eat a lot to have a great dish. Try with white or brown rice, some…

Salmon Baked in Foil

Salmon Baked in Foil by John Spottiswood

This is a simple recipe but it is really delicious. What I love about it is that it has enough flavor to make any adult's mouth water, but our kids still say "this is out favorite salmon!" This is flavorful enough to go well with a simple side like brown or white rice, or a simple parmesan and butter pasta. Don't forget to pour…

Salmon with Indian Spices, poached in oil

Salmon with Indian Spices, poached in oil by John Spottiswood

I love salmon and am always looking for creative ways to make it. This is the first time I've tried it with Indian spices and poached in oil (adapted from a recipe in Fine Cooking). Honestly, I thought it was just fabulous. The spices and the cooking method combined made it one of the best salmon dishes I have had. It is amazingly…

Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs

Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs by Amos Miller

Eggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late…

Cider-Glazed Boneless Pork Loin Chops

Cider-Glazed Boneless Pork Loin Chops by Foodiewife

This excellent recipe comes from America’s Test Kitchen (Cook’s Illustrated). Boneless pork chops can easily be overcooked and tough. But, using a technique of searing them and then “poaching” the chops in a sauce of apple cider vinegar, apple cider, brown sugar and a little soy sauce and Dijon mustard the chops come out moist and…
