FAVA & LEMON CROSTINI by Linda Tay Esposito

Fava beans are so delicious and so good for you. It has a higher percentage of protein than a lot of other beans. It's meaty woodsy flavor works very well with slow roasted garlic. Do invest in the time to buy fresh beans, shell and peel them. It's like a whole different bean from those muddy brown dried or canned ones.

Cowboy Caviar by Lynn Yamamoto

This is fresh, healthy and delicious. People love it, even kids. You can make it ahead, so it's great for a summer party. Serve it with scoop-shaped tortilla chips, or have it on the side as a relish. I add extra cilantro, because there can never be too much cilantro!

SAMBAL & CUCUMBER FINGER SANDWICHES by Linda Tay Esposito

The British have their dainty cucumber sandwich....eaten with raised pinkies. Malaysia, a former British colony, added a little a lot of spice to the cucumber sandwich, and came up with the sambal sandwich. We made this sandwich in our Asian Mini Sandwiches class at Whole Foods recently and it was a hit! The butter softens the spice…
