seared swordfish with lemongrass crust and thai peanut sauce

Even though I can’t get to Hawaii for a vacation this summer I can bring the tastes of the islands to my house.  I had this Seared Swordfish with lemongrass crust and thai peanut sauce when I was at Roy Yamaguchi’s restaurant in Maui.  The food there was delicious.  I still make their Molten Chocolate Cake for dinner parties. Here at Adventures In The Kitchen I usually share simpler recipes but sometimes you want to make a dinner that is a bit more special.  This has many ingredients but you can make the sauce ahead of time and then prepare [...]

The picture doesn’t really do them justice as all I had with me was my Iphone.

Summer is right around the corner and time for outdoor entertaining. These could be a main course served with rice and grilled [...]

Asian Salmon

March 31, 2009 By 1 Comment

I had my first dinner party in my new place. I had forgotten how much I love to entertain. It is fun to actually have a table where I can have more than one friend over at a time.  It was great to share my new home with my friends, who are always willing taste testers. I selected Asian Salmon, a recipe I had seen by Ina Garten, for my inaugural meal.  I found great salmon at my new favorite story, Fresh and Easy.  Have you discovered it?  My friend called me from there a week ago saying, “this place [...]
