St. Augustine Marinade for Tri Tip
I went to my favorite butcher to buy some meat and they had a bunch of tri tips already marinaded in bags. There were 5 different options so I asked for the most popular, which is called St. Augustine Marinade for Tri Tip. It was delicious. The marinade is white wine, orange marmalade, and Worcestershire sauce. Here is my version.

Strawberry, Basil, and Balsamic “Slablova”
My daughter Zoe made this beautiful Strawberry, Basil, and Balsamic “Slablova”, which is inspired by a pavlova-for-a-crowd recipe on Food52. This is a Kosher for Passover version. The meringue slowly bakes to achieve a crackly crust and an irresistibly soft, melt-in-your-mouth interior texture somewhere between a marshmallow and angel food cake. For a non-Passover occasion, cornstarch or arrowroot starch are good substitutes for the tapioca starch.

Grilled Salmon with Maple Butter Glaze
This Grilled Salmon with Maple Butter Glaze is the best salmon we've ever done on a grill. I bought my husband a Big Green Egg for his birthday (or was it for mine?). All I can say is WOW! Everything we've made on it has been amazing. The marinade is amazing and this recipe would work on a regular grill or in the oven.

Roast Chicken with Sumac, Za’atar, and Lemon

Ottolenghi uses a combination of the exotic flavors of sumac and za'atar with lemon which is inspired by a Palestinian dish called m'sakhan.

Sweet and Spicy Roast Chicken
This Sweet and Spicy Roast Chicken has a chile-flecked, honey-imbued marinade spiked with fresh citrus juice gives this chicken its fiery, syrupy character. Dates and carrots give the sauce texture and additional sweetness while a garnish of fresh herbs and pistachio nuts lends freshness and crunch. The ingredients can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance, then all you need to do is pop it in the oven just before your guests arrive, and garnish it at the last minute. Serve it with couscous, polenta, rice or another soft grain to soak up the sauce.
