Roasted Broccoli

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.

Pollo in porchetta

Pollo in porchetta by Frank Fariello

When I served this dish, several of my dinner guests were wondering what the 'secret' ingredient was that have this roast chicken such a special flavor. Of course, rotisserie chicken is almost always wonderfully juicy and luscious, but pollo in porchetta--chicken prepared in the manner of roast suckling pig--is something else.

Garlic and Oregano Roasted Tomatoes

Garlic and Oregano Roasted Tomatoes by Denise Fletcher

These plump, scarlet, glistening little bullets of flavour are wonderful bobbing about in soup, tumbling around strands of spaghetti or linguine, smooshed into a herby, dimpled foccacia, stirred into steaming risotto or rice or riddling a fat, buttercup-yellow omelette. The uses for them are legion. And, nothing could be simpler. You…

Shrimp in Green Garlic Sauce

Shrimp in Green Garlic Sauce by John Spottiswood

Wow, this is a really powerful and delicious dish. If you are looking for subtle flavors, search elsewhere. But if you're in the mood for a garlicky, "must dip my bread in every last bit of that sauce", type of dish, you cannot beat this. I'll admit our kids are not normal, but all four of them downed these shrimp and were dipping…

Lemon-garlic Chicken with Olives by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a delicious dish. The roasted garlic is so good you will want to spread it on the bread you serve this with. Bring it to the table with the pot or pan you cook it in for extra ease.

Slow-Roasted Pork Stew with Fennel, Tomatoes, and Olives by John Spottiswood

This is one of those fantastic recipes where you put a spoonful to your lips halfway through the preparation and you smile in amazement. The combination of flavors is just that good...and very original too. I've never had anything quite like this. The fennel, onions, garlic, olives, tomato and wine all just meld together into one…

In the book The Georgian Feast: The Vibrant Culture and Savory Food of the Republic of Georgia, the author tells how suckling pig is rubbed with a blend of soaked black and red pepper pounded with garlic, coriander and summer savory.
