Grilled Ahi Tuna with Yuzu Kosho-Miso Glaze

Until very recently, many classic Asian ingredients were practically unknown to Western cooks. That’s all changed now, with cutting-edge chefs introducing exotic flavors to an eager audience. Now the curtain has been pulled aside and some, at least, of the secret ingredients used in their culinary wizardry have been revealed.  One of these is yuzu kosho. Yuzu kosho, a traditional condiment with an amazing 1-2-3 punch, comes from the southeastern corner of Japan. Originating in Kyushu prefecture (hence the name kosho), …

Thai Green Curry with Chicken and Fiddleheads

The fresh flavor of fiddleheads, that wild spring vegetable with the charming name, is distinctive, but not assertive. It’s these qualities that make fiddleheads so versatile. They can be prepared in any number of traditional ways, but they also make a fine substitute for just about any green vegetable. Think of any dish that calls for green beans, asparagus or even broccoli and use fiddleheads instead! But before you add fresh fiddleheads to your favorite recipe, they need a little …

“Pig Fingers” with Two Sweet & Spicy Glazes

“Pig Fingers” is a deliciously old-fashioned dish that has been around in some form since forever, apparently. While you may find various other versions online, this one is an original, an old farmhouse classic, dating back to that long ago time before the internet was invented. The following recipe was faithfully copied from a yellowed, handwritten index card that has been carefully kept in an decoupaged wooden recipe box for over 30 years. It was given to us back in the 1970s by the daughter …

If you like seafood – and you like it a little spicy – this is one fun, quick and easy dish that you shouldn’t miss. Spicy Tuna Tartare with Mango-Chili Sauce is elegant enough for a sit-down dinner, but it’s just as appropriate at a casual sushi party – or simply scooped up with crispy rice crackers for an easy-does-it appetizer.

A specialty of the cuisine of Kyushu, a region …

Pork Loin Chops with Peppered Maple-Mustard Glaze

Savory. Succulent. Tender. Sweet. We’re talking about pork, but not just any old cut.  We’re talking about thick-cut boneless pork loin chops, in our opinion, one of the best and most flavorful cuts of pork.  Boneless pork loin is essentially a pork loin chop without the bone. When you de-bone a whole pork loin, you end up with baby back ribs and a boneless pork loin.  Pork loin chops are easy to cook, they’re big, meaty and tender – and …

Black Garlic Shu Mai with Smoked Soy Dipping Sauce

If you’ve ever been to a dim sum restaurant, you’ve probably eaten shu mai. Shu mai are little open-topped filled dumplings that usually come to your table in little steamer baskets. Shu mai rank among our favorite dumplings, and are both fun to make and eat. They don’t take a lot of effort and are very forgiving for the uninitiated – much easier than wontons or potstickers. Think of them as delicious little meatballs held in a tender, noodle-like wrapper. …

Morel-Stuffed Burgers on Grilled Garlic Toast with Chipotle-Lime Mayonnaise

The days of boring burgers are over.  The best tasting burgers begin with really good beef or bison, then add layer upon layer of savory ingredients to build a symphony of bold, harmonious flavors. Leaner grass-fed beef and bison naturally contain less fat than regular ground beef. Less fat is better for you, but it can lead to a drier, less flavorful burger. Our solution? Stuff those burgers with a layer of moist, buttery morel mushrooms! Nothing beats fresh morels, of …

Chipotle Molé Wings

Olé for molé! While we never really get tired of original Buffalo-style wings, sometimes it’s fun to break out of the routine and try something new, exciting and deliciously different.  In this recipe, chicken wings get a south-of-the-border makeover; first, marinated with a rub of aromatic & zesty spices, sherry vinegar and garlic, then, after baking, a quick toss with a sweet and savory molé-style sauce made with smoky chipotle chile peppers and deep, dark chocolate.  While the sauce is not a really an authentic …
