Spaetzle with Succulent Beef

Spaetzle with Succulent Beef by John Spottiswood

Bierocks (beerocks, bierochs...whatever, they’re great!) by Salad Foodie

A yeast dough stuffed with beef and cabbage then baked, this German “hamburger” has been a favorite treat whenever the mood to cook something different for others moves me. Make your own dough, use a box roll mix, or simpler yet, start with frozen dinner roll dough as I always do. Make them circular or fold up and pinch edges in to…

Tuscan shrimp marinara with chickpea pasta

Tuscan shrimp marinara with chickpea pasta by John Spottiswood

This is a great Tuscan recipe adapted from the Flavors of Tuscan cookbook by Maxine Clark. Maxine recommends making fresh chickpea pasta. We use Barilla Plus pasta, which is made with chickpeas just like Maxine recommends. By skipping making your own pasta, this becomes a very easy and healthy dish.

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…

Grilled Tuna Steaks over Arugula Salad

Grilled Tuna Steaks over Arugula Salad by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from one in Cook's Illustrated and served it during a trip to San Luis Obispo with friends. The vinaigrette was fantastic and the technique for marinating the fennel bulb slices in the vinaigrette to soften it is definitely a keeper. You could try this with just about any fish with good results I think. I…
