Big Eye Tuna, Watermelon, and Cucumber Tartare
Our hostess had a fabulous kitchen complete with Mesquite butcher block countertops and a Viking range with a wok burner that would make the entire county of China envious. All of this with maestro Michael Cerza on the Steinway belting out some incredible tunes. ...continue reading about Big Eye Tuna, Watermelon, and Cucumber Tartare...
Pan Roasted Salmon with Wilted Spinach
My fishmonger had some beautiful wild caught Coho Salmon fillets and I couldn’t resist this sweet fish. People seems to have some trepidation when cooking fish. The two most difficult things to master with fish, salmon in particular, is touch and doneness. Touch has to do with the actually feel of the fish when lightly pressed with the index finger. Doneness has not only to do with touch but also carry over cooking time and I will discuss that in a moment. ...continue reading about Pan Roasted Salmon with Wilted Spinach...
Salt and Pepper Shrimp
I had a craving for a “Salt and Pepper” something dish and the fish market had some beautiful wild Gulf shrimp. Can you see what’s coming here? I also wanted to spare you yet another tofu dish and give you something the entire family would fight over. Not a Extreme Fighting cage fight mind you, but a possibly stabbed-in-the-hand-if-you-touch-that-last-shrimp sort of fight. ...continue reading about Salt and Pepper Shrimp...

Asian Shrimp and Slaw
I armed myself to create a dish that you can put on the table in under 15 minutes and have it look like you were eating something from Nobu or one of Gordon Ramsey’s restaurants. While Gordon may not agree (he rarely agrees with anyone 
, I think this is something you can be proud of and you and your friends will love. The slaw here isn’t your “hot dog” variety, but one made of fresh and not-so-typical slaw ingredients. Daikon radishes, chives, and carrots are the stars ...continue reading about Asian Shrimp and Slaw...
Scallops and Creme Brulee Bananas Recipe
This recipe looks like it would be really complicated to prepare, but it’s honestly not. I promise. Scallops are a wonderful source of Omega-3 fatty acids and bananas are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. They are also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Potassium and Manganese, and a very good source of Vitamin B6. I’ve promised to keep these recipes simple so you can serve this as an appetizer, a main course, or as a dessert. No really, as a dessert course. ...continue reading about Scallops and Creme Brulee Bananas Recipe...
Dry skillet seared grouper
Grouper is one of my favorite fishes and I can remember growing up in South Florida riding my bike to the fishmonger to get some grouper for my mom. Grouper is in the sea bass family yet doesn’t seem to have the price tag associated with Chilean Sea Bass. You can still get this wild caught fish through your local fishmonger. The term fishmonger wasn’t cool yet when I was growing up so we just called them the fish guys. ...continue reading about Dry skillet seared grouper...
