	Lemon & Garlic Green Beans by John Spottiswood It is rare to have a side dish which everyone keeps reaching for instead of the main dish. That's especially true if its a fairly simple green vegetable side. But these green beans were truly that good. We used packaged, thin french cut green beans from Trader Joes. They are tender and tasty on their own, but I've never had them taste…	8 votes 5 reviews 1 comment 33840 views

	Spanakopita (Spinach Pie) by Nancy Miyasaki I love spanakopita, but it's too much work. This is a great way to make spanakopita for a crowd. And it's really yummy, too! Just remember the filo has to be defrosted overnight or for 5 hours before assembling.	8 votes 4 reviews 1 comment 12025 views
	Potato and Sweet Potato au Gratin with Herbs by Nancy Miyasaki This is not the lightest recipe I've made, but it's a real treat when you are having guests and want to splurge.

	Oven roasted asparagus and cherry tomatoes by Easy Cook - Laka kuharica A quick and easy vegetarian dish. Easy suggestion: instead of fresh cherry tomatoes you can use whole tomatoes from a can, but before roasting, drain the liquid, split the tomatoes and remove seeds. Also, you can sprinkle herbs of your choice over tomatoes.	1 vote 4766 views
	St. Patrick's Day Irish Champ by John Spottiswood This is a traditional Northern Irish dish of mashed potatoes with milk and sliced green onions. I thought it was a delicious under our St. Patrick's Day Salmon and Leeks recipe. The leeks and green onions really went well together. That said, the green onion flavor is quite strong so I would caution against serving this with…	4 votes 2 reviews 12479 views
	Pasta with Butter and Parmesan Cheese by John Spottiswood I've been cooking this recipe for so long, and it is so simple, that I have often overlooked posting it. We had it with our grilled chicken this week, and finally I'm putting it online. Marcella Hazan says this method of cooking pasta has eclipsed all others as the favorite amongst Northern Italians. And I must say it's among the…	6 votes 4 reviews 3 comments 7333 views
	Roasted Broccoli by John Spottiswood This roasted broccoli recipe, adapted from the Barefoot Contessa, is really wonderful. It has a lot of flavor. We served it with a mild pasta, and it was just a wonderful combination. Don't be worried by the lemon juice and zest. They impart a subtle flavor that adds a nice dimension to this dish.	25 votes 9 reviews 6 comments 21183 views

	Roasted Bell Peppers Salad - Salada de pimentos assados by Sofia Reino This is a traditional Portuguese salad you will find in most restaurants, especially during the summer. It is very fresh and goes very well with all types of grilled fish. Another idea is to add canned tuna and some hard boiled egg and you have a beautiful summer meal!	1 vote 7648 views
	Tzatziki Sauce by John Spottiswood This is a great traditional greek sauce. Serve it on flatbread with fava beans, kebab, falafel, or anything else you can think of. It's super simple to make and you can experiment with adding different spices. The yogurt has a mellowing impact, so you can add just about anything without ruining it!	3 votes 1 review 13027 views
	Sauteed Spinach with Garlic by John Spottiswood This is a delicious and healthy dish that takes 5 minutes to make and goes with almost anything--asian, mediterranean or american. Barefoot Contessa has a similar recipe but adds butter and extra salt. You don't need that, but can add if you like. Fresh spinach is much better than frozen in this dish.	4 votes 1 review 11265 views

	Farro with fresh herbs by John Spottiswood I had Farro for the first time recently at a party at a winery. I thought it was fantastic served under grilled lamb. It's a little crunchier than barley, and has a subtle nutty flavor. You'll love it with grilled meat! It's a little hard to find, but try an Italian supermarket or Whole foods. You can also substitute "spelt", but…	2 votes 2 reviews 3170 views
