Inspired by Sesame Noodles

When an ethnic dish becomes really popular, I tend to get suspicious. In this light, I wondered how Chinese cooks would make another ethnic favorite, sesame noodles.

Chicken Salad Fit for a Celebration

When June graduations and weddings call for creative menu planning, the biggest challenge can be finding casual yet elegant and attractive dishes that please everybody without stressing the cook.

Very Versatile Veggie Soup

How can you prepare and consume the variety of cruciferous, leafy green, and orange/red vegetables, and other veggies experts urge us to eat every day?

On Christmas Eve, Feast Italian-Style

The Feast of Seven Fishes, an Italian Christmas Eve tradition, calls for serving seven individual seafood dishes. Instead, I invite friends to share this Feast of Seven Fishes, a colorful dish which includes seven kinds of fish and seafood.

Lemon Chicken with Broccoli and a Tropical Twist

Lemon chicken is legitimately Chinese. But for Americans, chefs batter and deep-fry the chicken, then top it with a gooey, tart-sweet sauce. See how we make a colorful, healthful version of this well-loved dish – with a tropical twist.

Catch a Moroccan-Style Dinner

A fabulous way to add excitement to your fish is with a flavorful dry rub, like this blend of spices North African cooks use.

Salsa is the top-selling condiment in the United States. Latino cooks sometimes add to the primal combination of tomatoes, onions, hot chile, cilantro and lime — but salsa is also fundamental to the Italian table.

Tuna Salad with a Springtime Twist

If you are a tuna-lover and are seeking a salad with spring flair, one that includes crunch, color and a flavorful surprise, then this is for you.

With the crop reaching its height, it is time for my annual paean to sun-warmed, vine-ripened, local tomatoes. Add a little variety without too much fuss — chop up a few tomatoes and season them to spoon on top of bruschetta.
