Crispy Roast Pork (Hong-Kong Style)
This is a speciality dish of Cantonese BBQ shops in Hong Kong. Pork belly is salted and roasted at two different temperatures to keep the meat moist but the skin crispy.
Jamaican Chicken Curry
This recipe was inspired by Raiz Phillips’ beautiful book, West Winds: Recipes, History, and Tales from Jamaica. If you want more of an insightful look into the perspective of the Jamaican diaspora, I highly recommend reading Phillips’ book.
Sicilian Fish Stew with Garlic Aioli
Think of this as the lighter, less expensive version of cioppino, the stew that was created by Italian immigrants in San Francisco, California. It’s perfect for your upcoming beach dinner party! Serve with a crispy, white wine from Italy like Vermentino.
Wild Ramp Focaccia
Ramps are a hybrid between onion/garlic. They can be found in the late spring in wooded areas and farmers' markets. Do not confuse wild ramps with garlic scapes. I love using them in pickles, scrambled eggs, in salsas over grilled meats, or bread baking!
Steamed Black Pepper Fish with Celery
My husband recently found out he needed to lower his cholesterol so I’ve been trying to recreate healthier versions of our favorite foods. This is a lighter version of the Chinese takeout classic, black pepper beef with celery, using fish.
