Frisee Aux Lardons

This is an elegant French salad that I serve as an appetizer or first course, but could be a meal on its own.

Avocado Hummus

Hummus is a great appetizer with bread or crackers, a party dip, or a side for a Mediterranean dinner. Originally a Middle Eastern dish, Hummus has become popular world wide.

White Sauce / Gravy

This is a roux based sauce/gravy that can serve as a base for other gravy’s and sauces. For example, you can you this as a base for the gravy in biscuits & gravy.

Pineapple Korean Chicken

Korean chicken is a spicy and very tasty dish on it’s own, but this recipe adds a tropical flare by infusing a classic Korean chicken with pineapple.

Whole Roasted Cauliflower

This makes a nice table presentation out of your vegetable side. While it has a East Indian sense and can be a bit dry, it is very tasty.

Memphis Rub

At one stage in my life I was spending a lot of time in Tennessee, and found this recipe for Memphis style barbeque rub.

Sweet Barbeque Rub

Like most rubs, this sweet barbeque rub recipe uses a combination of brown sugar and spices.

Dilled Shrimp, Mango, and Cucumber Salad

A nice starter salad to serve during a multi-course meal. Tasty, not too filling, but leaves your guests wishing you’d served more.

Cold Avocado Soup

Here’s a great recipe for a summer time dinner party that takes less than a minute to make – after you prepare the ingredients that is.

Toasted Pistachio Couscous

Couscous is a great starch to add to your cuisine that can really jazz up plating and presentation, as well as provide an exotic element to your gourmet meal.
