Cajun Shrimp Alfredo 8
Directions: Ingredients:
Get all of your ingredients ready, tomatoes diced, onion diced and so forth because the recipe goes together fast once the shrimp is cooked.
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined 2 tablespoons creole seasoning 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil 1 ½ tablespoons butter 8 ounces sliced mushrooms 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 cup tomato, diced, fresh or canned 1 cup heavy cream 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated 1 egg yolk 1 cup onion, diced, divided 8 ounces linguine ½-1 tablespoon tony’s creole seasoning
Toss the shrimp in 1 tablespoon of the Creole Seasoning, set aside. Fill a pan with water adding salt to season the pasta. When water boils add pasta and cook until al dente. While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a skillet. Add the mushrooms and garlic powder when the butter has melted, cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, next add 1/2 cup of the onions and cook for another minute then add the shrimp. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink. When the shrimp has cooked add the cream and the other addition of creole seasoning (the 1/2 to 1 T). Bring this to a simmer then turn the heat down to medium low. Add the cheese, egg yolk, and the tomatoes. Heat until the sauce thickens. The heat needs to be low to keep the egg from curdling. When the sauce has thickened add the other 1/2 cup of onions and the drained pasta. Toss until the pasta is coated. Garnish with extra diced tomatoes and cheese if desired.

Hamachi Poke with
Pineapple Poi & Taro Chips 12
Directions: Ingredients: Hamachi Poke: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons sake 2 tablespoons mirin 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1 tablespoon finely chopped Maui onion Freshly ground black pepper 1 pound sashimi-grade hamachi (cut into ½ inch cubes) ¼ cup chopped sea beans Sea Salt Pineapple Poi: 2 teaspoons xanthan gum 4 cups fresh pineapple chunks Taro Chips: 1 small taro root Vegetable oil for frying Salt
Recipe Credit of Chef Marcel Vigneron
In a medium nonreactive bowl, combine the oil, sake, mirin, lemon juice, ginger, and onion. Whisk together. Season with salt and pepper to taste (keep in mind the sea beans will also be salty). Add the hamachi and sea beans. Gently toss with a rubber spatula to completely coat the fish and sea beans with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for the flavors to combine while you make the pineapple poi and taro chips. Place ¼ cup water in a blender, followed by the xanthan gum. Add the pineapple chunks and blend on high speed until the pineapple is pureed and the mixture is smooth with a sticky consistency. Transfer to a container, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use. Peel the taro root and slice very thinly with a sharp knife or mandoline. Place the slices in large bowl of cold water to keep them from discoloring. In a large heavy pot, heat about 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees F. Drain the taro slices and pat dry completely. Add the slices to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until crisp and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to paper towels to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Cool completely before serving. Place large spoonfuls of the pineapple poi on serving dishes. Using a slotted spoon, ladle the hamachi poke over the pineapple and sprinkle with sea salt. Place a couple of taro chips alongside.

AHI TUNA TARTARE
ON SESAME WONTON CHIPS 36

Sesame Wonton Crisps 12 wonton wrappers (can substitute egg roll wrappers) 2 tablespoons olive oil (will probably need more) 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
Cut the wonton squares on an angle to make two triangles. Arrange the wonton triangles on the baking sheet. Spray with olive oil on one side (or brush lightly). Sprinkle lightly with sesame seeds. Bake until golden, about 6 minutes. (Can burn easily so watch carefully). Let cool. (Alternatively, if you want cups, put the oiled whole wrappers in mini muffin tins). Remove triangles from the pan and let cook on a cooling rack.
Tuna Tartare 6 ounces sushi-grade tuna, cut into ¼-inch dice 2 tablespoons green onions, green parts only, finely chopped 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 teaspoon peeled and grated fresh ginger 1 clove garlic, minced ¾ teaspoon orange zest 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped ½ teaspoon kosher salt 1 avocado, cut into ¼-inch dice 2 teaspoons lime juice Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

KOREAN BARBEQUE SHORT RIBS
Directions: Ingredients:
Combine all ingredients except for ribs in a large bowl or plastic bag, make sure the bag is big enough that it can fit the ribs in later.
4 pounds Korean-style short ribs (LA style cut ribs also works) ¾ cup soy Sauce 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp brown Sugar ½ onion yellow onion; chopped 2 stalks green onion; chopped 2 tsp ginger; minced 3-6 cloves garlic; minced 1 tbsp honey 2-3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tsp oil ½ tsp cayenne 2 tbsp mirin aka rice wine (or white vinegar)
Mix all ingredients until sugar has dissolved. Submerge ribs in the marinade making sure they are completely covered. Meat can be touching but make sure to mix it so that the marinade gets in between the ribs. Cover the bowl or close the bag with no air so that the marinade is always touching the ribs. Refrigerate for 4 hours, but the longer the better, letting it marinate overnight is highly recommended. Half way through resting, or in the morning if doing overnight, make sure to turn the meat or flip and mix around the plastic bag so that all parts are getting an even marinade. Remove from marinade, wipe or shake off excess marinade on meat, too much excess soy sauce, sesame seeds, or sugar on the outside of meat can burn and give a different flavored than desired. Cook on a preheated grill for about 4 to 6 minutes, or until meat is at desired doneness. Finish up by garnishing with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions, though not required.

To Assemble: Take two whole joong leaves of approximately the same size. Make sure there are no tears or rips in leaves. Leaves should curve in same direction. Take one joong leaf in each hand holding it horizontally in front of you while making sure the ends match each other. Overlap edge of one leaf onto center spine of other leaf. Hold overlapping leaves together with your thumb in the center of the leaves and fold in half. Fold bottom half inch of leaf upwards and tuck under thumb to create pocket inside leaves for joong. Hold the folded leaves in one hand and then use the other hand to open the leaves to make the pocket inside. Holding leaves firmly, place 3 tablespoons rice mixture in pocket. Add once piece cured pork belly, half an egg yolk, three shrimp, three strands scallops and one piece lap cheong to center of rice. Cover filling with another 3 tablespoons rice.

Add third joong leaf by wrapping it around top of the two leaves in order to extend the height of the joong.You will be using this leaf to close everything up.Take outer edge of third leaf and fold it towards the center, sealing the joong. The joong should now be sealed at one end and open at the other. Smooth out leaves towards open end and then gather all the ends, fold them towards the center and hold down with your thumb. Be firm, but do not rip or tear leaves. If leaves tear, start over. Secure the with kitchen twine by making several loops around joong and securing with knot. Pat finished joong with hands on both sides to compact. Repeat until joong leaves and filling are finished. Excess joong leaves can be dried at room temperature on a wire cooling rack and reused Layer finished joong in a large stockpot and cover with water. Place on stove over high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2 1/2 hours, topping up pot with boiling water to keep joong submerged and rotating joong every hour to promote even cooking. Remove joong and drain in colander set in sink. Allow to rest for ten minutes. Cut open parcels and serve immediately with soy sauce. Extra joong can be stored in refrigerator for up to one week or in freezer for several months. To reheat, place in simmering water until heated through.

BUCKEYE BROWNIE COOKIES 68
Directions: Ingredients: (24 cookies) 1 box (18-19 oz) brownie mix ¼ cup butter, melted ½ cup cream cheese, room temperature! 1 egg ¾ cup peanut butter ¾ cup powdered sugar ¾ cup chocolate frosting sea salt flakes Frosting 1 cup butter, room temperature 2/3 cup boiling water 1 cup Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder, sifted (you can use regular cocoa powder if you prefer, that tastes great too.) 8 cups powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla
For the cookies, preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl combine brownie mix, butter, cream cheese and egg. Stir until dough comes together, it will be very thick and sticky. I used my hands. Form rounded tablespoons sized portions of dough into balls, placing on baking sheet about 2 inches apart, making an indentation with your thumb in the center of each. In another bowl stir together peanut butter and powdered sugar. Form peanut butter into teaspoon sized balls and press into the indentations in the brownie cookies. Press peanut butter down slightly because the peanut butter won’t spread and you don’t want the cookies to be too tall. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set, then let cool until they are room temperature. When cooled, top each cookie with about a tablespoon of chocolate frosting and a pinch of sea salt flakes. For the frosting, in a mixer combine all ingredients and over low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 1 minute until smooth. Let frosting cool for 15-20 minutes before you frost cake or cupcakes. *You can also use canned frosting, as well. Recipe submitted by: Chelsea Lightfoot Recipes by Design

browned butter spoon cookies 70
Directions: Ingredients: (32 cookies) 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 2 cups all-purpose flour ¾ teaspoon baking powder Pinch fine salt 1 large egg yolk ¾ cup sugar 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract ¼ cup raspberry jam Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter browns lightly and smells slightly nutty, about 15 minutes. Transfer the butter to a medium bowl—be sure to get all the tasty brown bits—and cool slightly. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in another medium bowl. Whisk the egg yolk, sugar and vanilla into the cooled browned butter. Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture to make a uniform but crumbly dough that looks like wet sand. Scoop out dough with a small teaspoon (the kind you set the table with, not the ones you measure with). Rock spoon gently back and forth against the side of the bowl, packing the dough into the spoon, then scrape/slide the spoon against the inside of the bowl to make spoon-shaped cookies. Trim excess dough with your fingers and slide out onto the prepared pans, preserving their shape. (Try to make sure you form an even number of cookies, since these sandwich together.) Bake cookies until just browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Cool almost completely on the baking sheets, and then transfer cookies to a rack to cool. When cool, spread 1/2 teaspoon jam on the flat side of a cookie, and then sandwich together with a second cookie. Repeat until all cookies have met their match. Lightly dust the cookies with the confectioners’ sugar. Serve.

GRANDMA’S
SWEDISH PANCAKES
74
Directions: Ingredients: 3 eggs 1¼ cup of milk ¾ cup of flour ½ tsp salt 2 tbps of sugar 4 tbs of butter 1 lemon powdered sugar
This recipe was is a family heirloom passed down from my grandmother, to my mother, and then to me. This recipe is one of my favorites and reminds me of my grandmother’s homestyle cooking and is a perfect and sweet breakfast treat. Set a large non-stick saucepan on medium heat and coat with non-stick spray. Wisk together the eggs in a large bowl and then add milk. Then, in a separate bowl combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk in this mixture little by little to the eggs and milk, until there are no clumps and the batter is creamy. Add a few tablespoons (depending on how large your pan is) to your heated saucepan and swivel the saucepan around so the batter covers the entire bottom portion of the pan. This should be a thin coating on the saucepan and should rise up to the edges a little bit. Flip the pancake when the thin edges start to brown by using a large spatula after delicately peeling the edges, and then the whole pancake from the pan. It should be a very light brown color on the side now facing up. After a little more time when the edges start to get crisp, roll the pancake up and place it on a warm plate. Serve with powdered sugar and melted butter and lemon juice mixture. Also add on any topping of your choice like fruit, nutella, peanut butter, syrup, jam, etc. Makes about 3 servings.

OAT NUT BARS WITH
LEMON
COCONUT ICING 80
Directions: Ingredients: ½ cup unbleached self raising flour ½ cup unbleached plain flour ½ cup rolled oats ½ cup shredded coconut ¼ cup sunflower seeds ¼ cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds) ½ cup chopped walnuts 1 tbs linseeds (flax seeds) ¾ cup dairy-free or dairy butter 2½ tbs molasses (or treacle or golden syrup) ½ tsp baking soda ¼ cup hot water Lemon icing 1 cup icing sugar ½-1 lemon, juice & zest 1 tsp dairy-free or dairy butter ¼ cup shredded coconut Pre-heat the oven to 356°F
Sift the flours into a large bowl. Add the oats, coconut, seeds and nuts and stir to combine well. Combine the baking soda with the warm water and stir to dissolve. Heat the butter and molasses over a low heat in a small saucepan stirring until the butter is melted and combined with the molasses. Remove from the heat and add the baking soda mixture; stir through allowing it to foam. Combine the molasses and butter mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring well until combined. Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased 10 in. x 10 in. non-stick baking tray, smoothing it out to cover the base evenly. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the baking tray for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cake rack to cool completely. Meanwhile prepare the icing by combing the sugar, butter and enough lemon juice to bring the sugar together into a runny icing, over a very low heat in a small saucepan. Add enough zest to taste and add the lemon juice a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Drizzle the prepared icing evenly over the cooled bars and sprinkle with coconut before the icing sets. Once the icing is set cut evenly into bars. These oaty nut bars should keep well in an airtight container for 5 days or so. If the weather is overly hot keep them in the fridge to be sure the icing doesn’t melt.

MOSCOW MULE 88
Directions: Ingredients: ¼ cup lime juice ¼ cup vodka ½ cup ginger beer
Pour vodka into glass. Pour lime juice into glass. Pour ginger beer into glass. If desired, garnish with a slice of lime and serve chilled. The story of the Moscow Mule begins in 1939 when a nearly broke Russian ex-pat, Rudolph Kunett, sold the Smirnoff brand to John Martin, head of G.F. Heublein & Bros. Eventually John Martin used the Moscow Mule to help promote vodka to bars across the US and this helped fuel the mainstream acceptance of vodka as the preferred white spirit, replacing gin. Martin set off to market the Moscow Mule in the bars around the country. He bought one of the first Polaroid cameras and asked barmen to pose with a Moscow Mule copper mug and a bottle of Smirnoff vodka. Then he would leave one copy of the photo at the bar and take a second copy to the bar next door to show them that their competitors were selling their concoction. Between 1947 and 1950, thanks to their invention, Smirnoff vodka case columns more than tripled and nearly doubled in 1951.
