MMM..mangoes! I love mangoes. This sweet soup was different the first time I had it. I was raised soup was hot. I'd never had cold soup till I got to college. But I love it now, usually sipping it from...
This is a spin on a recipe I created for my cooking show, Patricia Heaton Parties. I love the combination of hot, juicy shrimp with a crispy coating and a zingy dipping sauce. Delish.
I've had fried plantains many times, but recently I was at an ethnic restaurant where the plantain chips were thin and crunchy like potato chips. They were delicious-- I just had to run home and figure...
This will bring the tropic to you! Serve it on bread, in a cake glaze a chicken or over cream cheese as a spread. Love to see what you do with it! Will make about 8-10 (8 oz) half pints for gift giving...
This is what happens when you play "Round the World" - you find some really interesting recipes from distant places. Remind me to go to West Africa one day; they already have some of the world's best music...
The Sweet and sour sauce has almond butter and other ingredients to simulate hoisin sauce and works amazingly well with the cooked lentils. Loaded up to some crisp lettuce leaves with these lentils, topped...
A wonderful way to celebrate Fourth of July and the height of grilling season! The flank steak is seasoned with a rub of brown sugar, salt, cumin and garlic and cooks to a fine smoky-sweetness. The chutney...

This is an amazingly simple salad with fresh, summer flavors and eye-popping color presentation. The lime juice in the honey-lime dressing nicely accentuates the mango and strawberries. I served this salad...
This sweet-spicy mango preparation pairs with seasoned or stuffed rotis and parathas, but it also makes a delicious condiment for meat and fish dishes.
This is a great way to store up those summer veggies that are coming in at the same time. I serve this over grilled fish, chicken, or pork. It is even great with plain tortilla chips! In a pinch pour over...
Ataulfo mangoes are only available in the Toronto area from late March until September. I don't know what the availability is in other regions. They are 8 to 10 inches long with an oblong round-bottom...
This is modified from a recipe I found online. You can use whatever mix of seafood you like, but I like the mix below, so that's what I used here. Also, the original recipe called for 1 Tablespoon of fish...
Really good and healthy. Keep in mind that Poblano peppers are not spicy, so add your own spice if that's what you're after (I add my favorite hot sauce to the finished product, Jalapeno Tabasco). From...
A mango chutney recipe that can be made with just a few mangoes. Perfect for when they are not in season. I make one batch and can them in 1 cup jars. Serve over cream cheese with crackers. Yummy!!!
Yesterday I served Christmas Brunch for my family. This year I was not my typical over-the-top foodie self and opted for a simple brunch. My one signature "Star" of the meal was a Shrimp cocktail bar with...
