Fried (or Roasted) Cauliflower with Fish Sauce Vinaigrette

My husband was listening to The Splendid Table on NPR and heard about this recipe. I said I would make it for him. It's a tad complicated, but he was thrilled with the results and said that he could pour the Vinaigrette on just about anything. The puffed rice in this recipe is Rice Krispies cereal, which are seasoned with Japanese shichimi togarashi.

Mexican Scrambled Eggs

This Mexican Scrambled Eggs recipe is from Nigella Lawson. I had all the ingredients and made it within 5 minutes of reading the recipe. There is nothing more satisfying than that. I even used one of my jalapeños from my garden. I have modified the recipe slightly to include cheese and finishing it under the broiler. Everyone at my breakfast table LOVED it.....

Zucchini Fried in Kewpie Mayonnaise

When I was in Japan, my friend Yoko told me about this recipe, which her mother used to make her. It sounded completely bizarre, but I had to try it! I'm glad I did. It creates a delicious crust and offers a rich, slightly sweet and tangy flavor.

Kewpie (Q.P.) is the most popular brand of Japanese mayonnaise, advertised with a Kewpie doll logo. It is made with egg yolks instead of whole eggs, and the vinegar is a blend of apple and malt vinegars.
