This pork fried rice recipe is my revised version of another recipe. The pork and vegetables are seasoned with garlic and ginger. I have also added celery in the past with good outcomes. I have used both basmati rice and long-grain rice which gives the dish only a slight flavor difference.

What we have here is equal parts tuna and rice by weight, which for me, gives this the perfect balance between protein and starch. While this may remind some people of a fried rice dish, this is significantly lighter, and actually very low on fat content, but that doesn't mean it's not satisfying, and like most rice dishes, it's very comforting.

This stunning lobster Thermidor is surprisingly simple to make. Lobster shells are stuffed with cooked lobster in a creamy white wine sauce, then topped with Parmesan cheese and broiled until golden.

After listening to Stanley Tucci lose his mind about this pasta and calling it life-changing and one of the best things he's ever eaten, I decided I'd give it a try. The results were amazing and the key to getting the toasted sweet taste of the zucchini was deep-frying it!

No two aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method. The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden brown in the olive oil. If it's too light, you don't get the full flavor and if it's too dark it gets bitter. My advice? Do it perfectly.

Thickened with a roux, this vegetarian gumbo is rich with tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, peppers and okra.

My take on the Ponchartrain sauce served at a popular seafood restaurant chain in my town. Although I prefer snapper, it may be ladled over any grilled, blackened, steamed, or pan fried fish. Very elegant and easy! Great idea for a romantic candlelight dinner for two.

This dish will warm your heart on a cold day. I first had this at a friend's house in Louisiana and after a few changes, shrimp instead of chicken for instance, I came up with a recipe I think you will enjoy as much as my family does. Serve over rice with additional seasoning on the side if you like it spicier, as I do. Enjoy.

This Cajun-inspired seafood pasta recipe is a hot one, but delicious! If you don't like as much spice, divide the amounts of pepper in half. Better to add more later than spoil your creation. Bay scallops are preferred, but the larger sea scallops can be used if they are cut in half. This dish can also be placed in a casserole dish and placed under the broiler until the top turns golden brown.

There are some recipes for chitlins that are called Southern; however, the Creole and Cajun culture cooks chitterlings a bit differently than the rest of the South. I believe this simple recipe does the heritage justice. Serve with your favorite side dishes and store any leftovers in the refrigerator. Like so many other great soul food dishes, chitlins taste even better after the flavor has soaked in for a few hours.
