Every once in a while, you stumble across a combination that is not just incredible...it borders on divine. Such is the case with the blend of spices that we incorporate into today's salad - cardamom and cloves. Used in both the honey-candied coating on our pecans and in the zippy rice vinegar and shallot dressing, these two … Continue reading Cardamom-Clove Pecan Pear Salad

Cayenne Grilled Chicken
This is a really easy way to add a new dimension to grilled chicken. Combining a little heat from cayenne pepper sauce with a distinct tanginess from cider vinegar left to marinade overnight, this chicken will come off the grill with a wonderful crispy skin and flavorful, moist meat inside. You will need to set … Continue reading Cayenne Grilled Chicken
Stuffed Portobella Mushrooms
What is the difference between a portobella mushroom, a cremini mushroom, and a white button mushroom (all of which are readily available at your local produce market)? Nothing...except maturity, and perhaps as much as $3 or $4 per pound. They are the same species - just harvested at different stages of their growth cycle. But unless … Continue reading Stuffed Portobella Mushrooms
Endive and Sausage Spaghetti
Maybe it is fitting that not that long ago we posted a recipe for pork chops with endive in which I mentioned not to confuse it with Belgian endive. That got me looking for a reason to give Belgian endive a try, because I'd never had it before. Shortly after, I stumbled into a simple … Continue reading Endive and Sausage Spaghetti

By combining the pungent saltiness of fish sauce with the sweetness of fresh melon, and the fragrance of fresh cilantro and mint, you end up with a delightfully … Continue reading Thai-inspired Beef and Melon Salad
Fresh Mango Chutney
We've done a few similar recipes on this site already, including the melon pineapple salsa, the mango salsa, and even the recent pork chops with warmed mango chutney. Where this one departs from the first two is the exclusion of any hot chiles (and obviously no pineapple or melon either). The differences with the latter … Continue reading Fresh Mango Chutney
Ginger Honey Scallops
Wild-caught sea scallops are one of my favorite sea foods. When they have been cooked just right, they have a delicate flavor and a firm texture that avoids the "chewiness" often associated with other shellfish. There are a lot of ways they can be prepared, but with only six ingredients (including the scallops), this recipe … Continue reading Ginger Honey Scallops
