Torsk is a Scandinavian dish of poached and broiled cod with butter. This recipe uses frozen fish; defrosting is not necessary. Be sure to use butter, as there is too much water in margarine.

This is a very tasty and easy-to-make Filipino chicken dish made with soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar. I can just as easily double or triple the chicken in this recipe to serve guests at a party. Serve over rice with just a little of the sauce (not too much).

I discovered quark at a farmers market and instantly fell in love, but it's been difficult to find in stores. This recipe is a fine replacement for more expensive creme fraiche and pairs well with fresh fruit for dessert.
