Basque Chicken by John SpottiswoodI had one of the best meals of my life, while on a wine-tasting trip with my father in Paso Robles, California, at a small restaurant called the 10th St. Basque Cafe. They only offer one seating meal to everyone in the restaurant. But it's a many course affair with some absolutely amazing food. Upon recommendation from another… |

Asian Rib Eye Over Mixed Greens with Ginger Dressing by John SpottiswoodI loved the combination of the flavorful rib eye and mushrooms over the truly delicious Asian flavored greens. You'll be using the salad dressing recipe again I'd wager, with or without the rib eye. This would make a great dish for a BBQ party or just for a delicious and casual summer dinner. We had this at my father in law's in… |

Peruvian Roast Chicken by John SpottiswoodThis is a fantastic recipe that I adapted from the Cook's Illustrated Cookbook. I was looking for a new family favorite to rival my Cumin Chicken recipe, and this came darn close. The flavors in this recipe blend together very nicely and don't overwhelm the flavor of the chicken. Everyone in our family enjoyed it. We served it… |

Gramma Lund's Limpa Bread by Amos MillerMy paternal grandfather emigrated to the US in 1912 bringing with him his mother's family recipe for the incredibly delicious - almost cake-like - limpa of the southern Swedish countryside. I looked at every recipe for Swedish Limpa Bread on the C-E-S site. None of them are family recipes, although there is a rye bread recipe, it's… |

It seems every year someone wants buffalo wings and somebody else wants egg rolls. So this year I am thinking, "Why not combine the two?" That's right, I am talking about Buffalo Chicken Rolls. |

Lamb Meatball and Fava Bean Tagine / Morocco by Amos MillerThis is truly a hand-crafted meal - it takes time. I know that only the most devoted will make this. But it is nothing short of spectacular and was my favorite Spring dish. I'd eat it weekly. This is how I recall Mina made for me when I lived in Marrakech. I'm sharing it just because it is a personal favorite and, for guests,… |

Ginger Sesame Salmon by John SpottiswoodThis is an outstanding asian-flavored salmon. It's a bit more interesting than your typical teriyaki salmon. Think of it as teriyaki salmon with a kick! I'm a huge fan of grilled salmon and I don't think it gets much better than this. |

Cuban-style Steaks in Garlic-Lime Marinade by John SpottiswoodThese steaks are a treat and a great way to make an inexpensive cut of meat memorable. You can use bottom round (best), top round, or a thin cut sirloin for this dish. The steaks should be cut about a 1/2 thick. Mine were a little thicker, so I pounded them with a mallet to thin them. In Cuban restaurants, this recipe is called… |

Simple Cuban Black Beans & Rice in a Rice Cooker by John SpottiswoodI've loved cuban black beans and rice ever since I lived in Weehawken, New Jersey and ate at the Unica Cafe. This recipe takes some short cuts and uses a rice cooker, but I still think the results are delicious. Try this under any caribbean grilled meat, fish or stew and you won't be disappointed! |

Tomato and Avocado Salad by John SpottiswoodThis is a wonderful salad. Steeping the avocado in the lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper for an hour before serving is a real key to the flavor. We served this with small but flavorful tomatoes, so instead of the presentation recommended below, we just tossed everything together and served it. If I had big slices of heirloom… |

The secret ingredient in this batter is the vinegar, added just before you are ready to coat the fish fillets. |

Cajun Bread Pudding with Praline Sauce by Amos MillerThe Praline Sauce is a stand-alone that will add depth and excitement to any cake or pudding, but it marries perfectly with this Cajun-inspired recipe. This is a dish that I have served hundreds of times and is always a favorite - so much so that folks often ask for a serving or two 'to go'. Easy ingredients, easy to prepare.… |
