Caribbean Peas & Rice by John Spottiswood

This popular dish throughout the Caribbean is similar to red beans and rice, but made with a few more spices and with crowder, pidgeon, or black-eyed peas instead of red beans. If you can't find any of these, though, red beans make a fine substitute. This is great comfort food that is a nice mellow contrast to spicy-sweet Caribbean…

Easy Risotto & Gourmet Mushrooms by Amos Miller

Risotto scares too many cooks. It's really a simple dish, though not commonly served at the American dinner table - unless you have some (usually Northern) Italian blood in your family.

To continue the International theme we have going this month with our cooking, I decided to dig through my recipes and come up with one of my grandmother’s easier German dishes.
