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.

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.

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…

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…

Pasta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Pasta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes by Salad Foodie

I am enamored with pasta, tomatoes and basil recipes and have tried out several. This one is from Cook's Country (April/May 2015) and indeed has robust tomato flavors by roasting them! See Useful Links below for an earlier posted and similar recipe that we liked well too.

Chicken Saltimbocca With Mushroom Marsala Sauce

Chicken Saltimbocca With Mushroom Marsala Sauce by Bob Vincent

I needed to use some leftover Prosciutto from a previous dish so this was the result. It was tasty with the Marsala mushroom sauce. I served the chicken and sauce over Angel Hair pasta but it would be good on its own without the added carbohydrates. I smoked the chicken with Pecan wood but pan frying or oven roasting would be fine…

Pasta with Tomato and Roasted Eggplant

Pasta with Tomato and Roasted Eggplant by Nancy Miyasaki

A adapted this from a recipe in Alice Waters' Chez Panisse Vegetables cookbook. My other eggplant pasta dishes all call for fried eggplant, which is delicious but messy and time consuming. So I was eager to try a roasted version. I slightly prefer the flavor of the traditional, fried eggplant, but given the reduction in effort I…

Chicken Salad Florentine With Garlic and Lemon Vinaigrette

Chicken Salad Florentine With Garlic and Lemon Vinaigrette by Yoko Kitahira

What makes this recipe rather unique among thousands of other look-alike salad recipes is the way I leave roasted garlic unstained after ground with the food processor. I believe most professional chefs prefer the strained liquid to the unstrained one because they hate to see sediment-like black spots that float in the liquid to be…
