It's been ages since I have been able to do some new recipe posts.  Finally today, Wozz and I were able to get in the kitchen and prepare some summer favorites of ours.  It's almost May so we are transitioning from crusty bread and beef stew to healthy fresh choices...we are a bit over due.   These shrimp summer rolls are just the transition fix we need.  Full of all the good stuff, fresh julienned carrots, cucumbers, mint, cilantro, shrimp but so delicious especially when dipped in 3 of our favorite sauces:  Thai Hot Pepper, Vietnamese Green Tea and Mint, and Japanese Sesame Miso.

Super Bowl Sunday...here I come, with my shredded beef and gravy rolls that will put your artichoke spinach dip to shame.  Game on.  C'mon New England!

A fresh pear and Gorgonzola salad topped with candied rosemary walnut clusters and drizzled with pear ginger vinegar.  A gorgeous addition to the holiday table.

A bit of a throw back to my days sailing the Caribbean. From Jerk Spiced chicken with rice and yams, kite surfing St Lucia to the famous shark n bake of Trinidad. The islands draw some many cultural flavors and styles from all around the world...

Looking Back on...

Mexican Themed Party 2009.  This picture is just too funny for words.

Rustic and simple, much like the feel of Autumn lately.  This is a one pot recipe that fills your home with the aromas of fresh rosemary thyme and lemon. 

It's funny, looking back at all those years as an apprentice and commis chef, there was always someone there tell you how its done. Here are the rules for making pasta, cooking the perfect steak, filleting fish, shucking scallops. However, no one ever teaches you how to be creative, there is no simple guideline

Pick a flavor, any flavor.  and just smother it on crusty bread.  You can't go wrong with this one.
