	Crockpot Carne Adovada Recipe by John Spottiswood We had this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic. The complexity of flavors - sweet, salty, spicy, and savory - is really amazing. It's better than 99% of the dishes I've ever been served in a mexican restaurant. I loved the carne adovada I had in Santa Fe, but I honestly don't remember any that matched this.

	Chiapas Pot Roasted Pork - Cochito Chiapaneco by John Spottiswood I adapted this delicious, crispy-edged meat recipe from Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen.

	Amazing Lamb, Squash and Chickpea Stew by John Spottiswood We served this fantastic dish over Memorial Day weekend with friends up in Point Reyes, California.

	Hearty Pork Stew with Pumpkin by John Spottiswood This is a great stew for making in a big pot on a cool day in the Spring or Fall. We serve it over rice, but it would also go nicely over pasta or with an artisan style bread.	5 votes 1 review 2 comments 3100 views
