Butter Bean Prawn Scampi 

Growing up in upstate New York, any time my family would go out to eat at an Italian restaurant there were always the same two shrimp or prawns dishes on the menu. They were "Shrimp Cocktail" and "Shrimp Scampi." By the way, as you hear me try to explain during the clip, the only difference between shrimp and prawn is size. I use both terms synonymously in my clips, and can't pretend to really care that much about which is the correct term. I believe bigger shrimp are called prawns and smaller prawns are called shrimp. Hurry, someone call Alton Brown!

Garlic Ginger Bok Choy 

Bok Choy is becoming very easy to find in grocery stores these days as the trend to eat green veggies continues to grow (for good reason). This is great vegetable for many reasons; it's cheap, it takes about 3 minutes to cook, it has a beautiful subtle sweet flavor, and of course it's packed with nutritional goodness. As you'll see, the best tip for great Bok Choy is how to trim the tops and bottoms separately so they both can cook perfectly.

Stuffed and Rolled Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Pan Jus 

Sometime you just have to show off. This is one of my many recipes that looks very impressive to your dinner guests, but in fact is quite simple and easy to prepare. The cut we're using here is pork "tenderloin" NOT a pork "loin." This is the "filet mignon" of the pork. Yes, it is more expensive, but it's all edible, and as you'll see, it's a very user friendly cut of meat. They are usually sold two to a package and weigh just over a pound each. If you're not sure ask the butcher.

Pumpkin Brulee 

This is a great seasonal twist on the restaurant classic, and also a really great reason to use a blow torch! We recently had a request for a pumpkin flan. While we love to satisfy our viewers every culinary whim, sometimes we just can't do it. The problem with a pumpkin flan is that the starchy, slightly grainy texture of the pumpkin puree would ruin the smooth, silky mouth-feel which is what makes a flan, a flan. You would basically be left with a crust-less pumpkin pie.

Classic Meatloaf 

This recipe is a version that Alton Brown did on Good Eats. I've added a few extra ingredients, like mushrooms, which I believe helps make a very moist meatloaf. Do I feel bad stealing Alton's recipe? No, because he stole it from someone, who stole it from someone, and so on and so on. I've tried many recipes and this is my favorite for flavor, texture and it's just plain easy to make.

Piquillo Peppers stuffed with Orange and Cumin Scented Goat Cheese. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Tapas 

I LOVE tapas! Here is the Wikipedia definition: Tapas (pronunciation: TAH-pas) are a variety of Spanish appetizers, such as mixed olives, cheeses, or an elaborate creation like battered and fried baby squid. In Spain, tapas are usually given for free to accompany a drink before dinner. In the United States and the United Kingdom, tapas have evolved into an entire cuisine where patrons order many different small Spanish dishes and combine them for a full meal.

Well, this clip you're about to watch is my favorite all-time tapas plate. The amazing Piquillo pepper stuffed with cumin and orange scented goat cheese. Words really don't do it justice. By the way, these just aren't any roasted red peppers. They are the world famous piquillo peppers!

Classic Beef Pot Roast 

We went "lean" on Fat Tuesday? Yes, it's Fat Tuesday, but instead of rich and decadent, today's clip is lean and clean; a classic beef pot roast, slowly braised with aromatic winter veggies. As I say in the clip, this dish "makes itself." A nice hunk of chuck, a few seasonings, some veggies and a few hours is all it takes to make something so satisfying and heart warming.
