GRILLED MEXICAN CORN

WITH NO COMMENTS

Possibly the messiest, most delicious grilled corn you have ever eaten. My version of Mexican street corn uses Japanese Kewpie mayo and Spanish smoked paprika for an umami-rich, smokey treat.

THAI-STYLE GRILLED ARTICHOKES

WITH NO COMMENTS

I don't think I have ever seen an artichoke in a Thai restaurant, nor did I see any artichokes in the markets on my trip to Thailand last year, but that didn't stop me from creating a Thai-style grilled artichoke. It may sound a little weird, but trust me they are delicious.

ZOODLES WITH SHRIMP, MUSHROOMS AND TOMATOES

Invented from the last of our provisions during our boating tour through the Bahamas, this quick and healthy dish is a perfect weeknight dinner. Zoodles are lightly sauteed and topped with a shrimp, mushroom and fresh tomato sauce.

CRAB AND CORN CHOWDER

This fabulous and unusual lemon bar recipe by Melissa Clark of the New York Times is truly delicious. Who would have thought olive oil and sea salt would make a better lemon bar? Make them with Meyer lemons for the best lemon bars ever.

PINEAPPLE MOSCOW MULE

My Pineapple Moscow mule is a refreshing blend of pineapple, lime, vodka and ginger beer. The perfect summer drink when you are dreaming of the tropics.

Eggs and tomatoes baked on top of a bacon weave is simple and fun to make. Served in miniature cast iron skillets, these easy breakfasts are as enticing as they are delicious.

GROWNUP CARROT CAKE

This grownup bourbon-ized carrot cake with olive oil, fresh pineapple and walnuts is moist and spicy. Topped with classic, buttery cream cheese frosting, this is a carrot cake lover's dream.

SMASHED POTATO, STEAK & CHIMICHURRI SALAD

A mashup of some of my favorite ingredients: garlicky smashed potatoes, slow-roasted tomatoes, grilled steak, crisp romaine lettuce and chimichurri sauce.
