CEVICHE! ~ Costa Rican Style by Amos Miller

My buddy, Ed, of Puerto Rican descent, spent his time in the Air Force in Central and South America. Ed's favorite dish: ceviche! He tells endless tales of trying ceviche, which is seafoods 'cooked' in nothing but citrus juice.

Best Turkey Stuffing by John Spottiswood

This recipe is a combination and adaptation of two great stuffing recipes found in the New Best Recipe cookbook by Cook's Illustrated (one of our favorites for traditional dishes).

Well, the SuperBowl is a couple of weeks away and it is time to start planning all the snacks for the big game. It seems every year someone wants buffalo wings and somebody else wants egg rolls.

And it's extremely quick and easy to prepare, especially if you use canned chick peas. Serve it with crusty artisan bread.

Sumptuous Georgian Lamb Stew by John Spottiswood

Ohhhh this was yummy. Really, if you are at least tolerant of lamb, you should try this. And if you love lamb like I do, you are in for a huge treat. I could not get enough of the sauce in this stew.
