Caramelized Soy and Lemongrass Spareribs by Henry Moline

I like this Vietnamese-inspired recipe because the Caramelized Lemongrass Marinade combines sweet and salty flavors with lemongrass. The sugar is first caramelized, which gives the ribs a nice crust. This marinade is well suited to both smoking and grilling. Serve these ribs with Chinese Coleslaw and Curried Potato Wedges or jasmine…

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. When done with care, risotto can be a sublime accompaniment to all types of dishes. In fact, you can add all types of things to a risotto to…

This salad will make the meal, or be the meal. Broccoli, oranges, almonds, raisins, mushrooms, onion & bacon - and a fabulous classic sweet & tangy creamy dressing!

Cranberry Walnut Cabbage Slaw by Salad Foodie

This recipe was a top winner in Better Homes & Gardens August 1999 monthly recipe contest and I have made it ever since. It's fits well with a Thanksgiving, Christmas, holiday theme with the dried cranberries and walnuts, and the red and green color combos, but I make it year-round. I especially like the snappy dressing.

Chicken with Cantaloupe, Cucumber and Zucchini Salad by Salad Foodie

Perfect for fall garden harvests, this main dish salad is lightly dressed with lime and cilantro. It's based on a recipe from Better Homes and Gardens several years back, but I have simplified some steps and tweaked measurements a little. A pleasing and light combo of meat, fruit and vegetables. Just add crackers or a roll, and glass…
