Garlic-Butter Octopus Jalisco-style by John Spottiswood

This dish is my best rendition of a traditional meal served in the state of Jalisco in Mexico. We had this first in a small local restaurant in downtown Puerto Vallarta, and have been in love with it since!

Seared Peppercorn Tuna Steaks by Robyn Medlin

Instead of your traditional NY strip or ribeye, why not opt for Tuna Steaks on the grill? If you go for sushi-style rare in the middle, they are super quick and easy on the grill. For those who like their meat well done, leave on the grill a little longer and still get great flavor.

Grilled Whole Fish Adobado by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious fish that is one of the most famous dishes of the Jalisco state in Mexico. We've eaten this a few times in restaurants near Puerto Vallarta...and love it! The recipe is adapted from one by Rick Bayless (exec. chef of the Frontera Grill in Chicago), who is one of my favorite chefs.

Grilled Scallops and Papaya Salsa by Denise Sherin

Great light dinner or lunch. Make sure to have some good crusty bread with it.
