This is an Italian dish that Andrea taught me for “cultural immersion” cooking class . This is excellent with Andrea’s Vodka sauce.
Ricotta Gnudi
Chicken Shawarma
A recipe Adrian discovered and adapted. Great on salad or with flat bread and shredded vegetables.
Carne Asada
Tomato Soup
Much better than store bought.
BBQ Beef Brisket (Crock Pot)
A simple way to prepare Brisket.
Red Lentil Dahl
A simple side dish to serve with rice or naan.
Empanadas
This is very similar to what our Spanish tutor said her mom made when Señora Swart was growing up in Argentina. Since 8 April is National Empanada Day, we decided to surprise her with some during our lesson.
Vegetable Stew
An excellent stew to serve on top of rice or Luphuftu.
If you have an overabundance of fresh tomatoes, they work wonderfully in this recipe. Just be sure to skin them before adding.
Fish Fillets Baked with Cheese
An excellent way to eat fish! This recipe is from Mom McGuire many years ago. I am assuming she gave it to us when we were first married, because it is in my printed cookbook and not hand written.
Jamie’s Potato Soup (Almost)
My friend Jamie, makes this soup often for potlucks. It is very popular and the children ask for it often at home. It is wonderful with a green salad on the side.
Some good potatoes to try are Russet, Red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes. Each will have a slightly different flavor.
