Coconut Miso Salmon Curry
This Coconut Miso Salmon Curry is a recipe from The York Times. It actually has no curry powder in it. It's very quick to prepare and is full of flavor. I served it on a bed of Jasmine rice.

Tomato Risotto
I saw this recipe last Friday in The New York Times. Since I had some fresh tomatoes from the garden, I decided to make this Tomato Risotto. Tomato Risotto is so good with a sprinkling of parmesan and fresh basil. I actually made it in the Instant Pot, which is super easy and doesn't involve all the stirring. I included both instructions if you want to make it on the stovetop. There's nothing like summer tomatoes picked fresh from your garden.

Prawn & Orange Curry With Basmati Rice
This recipe for Prawn & Orange Curry With Basmati Rice is from Nadiya Hussain, who is one of my favorite chefs. She won the sixth series of BBC's The Great British Bake Off in 2015. She has a show on Netflix called Nadiya’s Time to Eat. Everything she makes has an interesting and brilliant twist. The prawn curry with orange zest and juice has wonderful flavor and it's quick to make.

Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Rice Casserole
Over the years, I have had many personal chef clients. I cook many different meals and package them up for the freezer. This Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Rice Casserole is something I made recently. This can also be made in one large casserole and it freezes really well.

Korean Ground Beef Rice Bowls
I had some ground beef I needed to use and made these Korean Ground Beef Rice Bowls. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but it was seriously good. I happened to have all the ingredients and also made Bibimbap Sauce to drizzle over the top. You could add some cooked broccoli, snap peas, carrots, etc. It's quick to make. This recipe is the cheater version because it uses ground beef, unlike the more traditional Bulgogi.

Orange Ginger Rice
Living in Southern California, we are lucky to have a plethora of citrus trees. I am always trying to figure out how to use the oranges on our tree. This Orange Ginger Rice is so good. It's cooked with shallots, orange juice & zest, ginger, golden raisins and has loads of flavor.

Hatch Chile Rice
I know I should have posted my Irish recipes, but I made this Hatch Chile Rice last night and it was really good. You could add chicken to it and make it more of a main course. I found these El Pinto chiles at my local supermarket. I am glad that Hatch Chiles have finally made it into the mainstream. I used to go every September and buy a VERY large Hefty Bag of them and have them roasted. Then I would bring them home and freeze 6 in ziplock bags. It took up most of my freezer! My car smelled like chiles for months! My daughters were not thrilled with this when they were little. Yes, I know I have a problem!

Risotto with Beef, Rosemary, Sage and Barolo Wine, Alba Style
Marcella Hazan's cookbooks are wonderful and are credited with introducing the traditional techniques of Italian Cooking to the US and the UK. I stumbled upon this recipe for Risotto with Beef, Rosemary, Sage and Barolo Wine, Alba Style. I love risotto and have made it over the years using the traditional endless stirring technique, the oven method, and actually in an Instant Pot. If you want to hang out in the kitchen while drinking wine and do it the traditional way (that is, when my husband does the stirring!), it can be quite cathartic. Typically, I make mushroom or butternut squash, but this risotto has a small amount of ground beef. It's really delicious. The red wine/beef combination marries surprisingly well with the creamy Arborio rice. The sage and rosemary really deliver on the flavor front and take the whole thing to a new level. Alba in Italy is known around the world for its Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is situated in the northern Piedmont region.

Crispy Korma Salmon with Coconut Rice and Cucumber Pickle
My husband has been binge-watching Jamie Oliver cooking videos on YouTube. We have been fans of him for years. We used to live a few blocks away from him in London when he first got married. We decided to try this Crispy Korma Salmon with Coconut Rice and Cucumber Pickle, which is very easy to make and packed with flavor. I could not find Patak’s Korma Spice Paste, so I used curry paste instead, unfortunately for me, I could only find mild! The rice is cooked with a red chili, a half a lemon and some coconut cream, which is a new revelation. You chop up the lemon and chili and serve it on top to the rice. The quick cucumber pickle adds a bright note to this dish.
