Cantonese Chow Mein

A Cantonese chef — my roommate– gave me this recipe that I translated into English. It’s pan-fried egg noodles (crispy brown in places) topped with a mix of vegetables and seafood in a light white sauce. Very nice.

Caldo De Peixe De Cabo Verde Cape Verdean Fish Soup

There are a few solid Caldo de Peixe recipes online, but most call only for salt and pepper or are very vague regarding the spice profile used in the Islands of Cabo Verde. I am from Cabo Verde, and would like to add my own twist to this recipe that (hopefully) will give an authentic taste to this beloved traditional recipe. I hope that you enjoy this taste of my childhood.

Lemongrass and Curry Chicken Breasts With Fresh Tropical Salsa

It is said that Indonesian food is “aromatically extravagant” because local cooks often fry their spices and other seasonings before putting them on the meats. This extra step releases essential oils and flavors, which are readily apparent in this chicken recipe. From Weber’s Art of the Grill, one of my favorite cookbooks! PREP TIME DOESN’T INCLUDE 1 1/2 HOURS MARINATING AND COOLING TIME.
