Roast Chicken on Bread Salad by Nancy Miyasaki

This is an easy and tasty recipe. It also looks attractive. Buy crusty bread that will that will soak up the dressing without becoming too soggy! Flavorful tomatoes help a lot! I adapted the recipe from Sunset.

Singapore Chili "Tandoor-Style" Chicken by Mihir Shah

Probably the single best dish I had in Singapore - and a dish I'd never tried before. If you don't have a tandoor oven (and I'm assuming you don't), either bbq on medium-high heat or bake in a shallow pan at 450 degrees. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Crusty Fried Salmon Planks by Smokinhotchef

Growing up, my mom would often create recipes from different types of canned fish for breakfast.

Garlic! Good quality olive oil, fresh herbs and fungi- need i say more? This recipe is even better the next day, that's if it makes it past dinner. No fuss, no muss, the ingredients are harmoniously melded together with a little marination and a…

Dr. P's tamarind barbecue sauce by Chris Patil

This sweet, tangy, complex sauce is especially good on pork. For baby back ribs, cook the racks for three hours in a 300°F oven with a pan of water on the lower shelf (the moist conditions prevent the sauce from evaporating too fast, and also helps the meat get that "falling-off-the-bone" consistency). Brush a few tablespoons of…

Grilled steak is paired with timeless accompaniments like mushrooms, onions, and rosemary. A sweet and savory sauce and Gorgonzola finish off the taste-bud orgy that is this easy and delicious main course. Indulgent, but worth every bite.
