Angel Hair Pasta with Seasonal Walla Wallas and Fresh Prawns

May 21st, 2007

One of the BEST stir-fry dishes I have ever created. Incorporating market-fresh bok choy adds a wonderful texture from the leafy greens to the crisp crunch of the stalk. Each perfectly cooked prawn is surrounded by an abundance of rich flavor without a heavy sauce.

Korean BBQ (Asian-American Tapas Style)

May 18th, 2007

My interpretation anyway. Recipe from Bon Appétit magazine, June 2007
Seasoned-grilled nori, sticky rice, red miso, marinated grilled flank steak, and grilled eggplant with a green onion-sesame puree.

Sauteed Shrimp and Avocado Dinner Salad

April 29th, 2007

Last in my newspaper recipe series. Has potential! Incredibly fast to the table, healthy, low salt, packed with greens. Downside: lacks any distinct flavour. This salad’s savior is the dressing with green onions, whilst consuming mandarin oranges, avocado, and shrimp, simultaneously. Recipe inside!

Basil Chicken Curry with Coconut Rice

April 17th, 2007

This is a fantastic Thai recipe from Food and Wine. I replaced the fresh ginger ingredient with galangal and can’t say enough about coconut rice. The sweet crunchy texture on top of the soft rice is irresistable. Prepared, adapted, and presented by poutingoverpeas.com (playswithfood)

Papaya Salad with Grilled Salmon - fresh with a bit of heat

April 6th, 2007

This papaya salad is sweet, spicy, cool, and crisp. A great recipe to scale down as you need. Add as much or as little dressing to the salad as you’d like. Grilled Copperhead Salmon or perhaps Sea Bass (mmm!) served with this flavourful salad make a perfect spring or summer dish.

Asian Salmon with Asparagus and Snap Peas

March 28th, 2007

Fantastic flavours! I couldn’t be more pleased. A light and healthy recipe for all to enjoy. The sauce mixture of dijon, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic is top-notch. Inspired by Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa recipe. Prepared, adapted, and presented by poutingoverpeas.com (playswithfood)

February 2nd, 2007

I found this recipe in a recent Williams Sonoma catalog and thought I’d give it a go. If you love spicy food, this may be for you. The recipe is quick to the table. Prepare all of your ingredients in advance and you’ll be eating in less than 10 minutes. I’ll be making it again! [...]
