Sweet Potato CrispsIt's easy to make your own sweet potato chips at home. These are baked and you use a Cuisinart or mandolin to thinly slice. A little olive oil cooking spray with Kosher/Sea salt and viola! Sometimes I step it up a notch by lightly sprinkling with ground chipotle. |

Ampalaya Gisado with Egg (Sauteed Bitter Gourd)Ampalaya is just so hard to feed to kids. How I do it is I add egg in it to make the bittery taste fade a bit. It works well and it's easier for them to eat it. Ampalaya is good for those who have anemia. |

Beer Battered French Fried Onion RingsWhen the Vidalia onions come into season, I make a batch or two of this and freeze them for later use. See freezing tips below. I'm not much of a beer drinker but I do like some offered by the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co. Summer Shandy is my favorite and I stock up in the spring when it comes out. I use it in this recipe.… |

White Asparagus with Hollandaise SauceThis dish brings me back to my Vienna days: white asparagus and potatoes with hollandaise sauce.

Stir-Fry Chinese Leeks with Chinese SausagesChinese Leeks are smaller and thinner than the regular leeks. It is more pungent in flavour compared to the regular leeks.

The Chinese would usually… |
