Mussels Provencal

A tomato sauce recipe for mussels is great if you don't like the usual wine recipes (like me!). There is no salt or butter. Here's a tip to make sure mussels are fresh: tap the opening of the mussel on a hard surface, if the shell closes you've got yourself some nice fresh mussels!

Use my easy "mathematical method" for cooking prime rib, and you'll be rewarded with the best prime rib that's perfectly pink and delicious. For the math to work, you must leave the beef out at room temperature for at least 6 hours.

The avocado is what makes this raw vegan pudding deliciously thick and creamy - It's taste is unnoticeable.

Chef John's Sausage & Shrimp Jambalaya

While shrimp jambalaya is really more of a thicker rice stew than a soup, it's one of those dishes that can be customized. Add more stock to easily make it into a soup recipe. Serve garnished with green onion.

Sweet Sticky Rice and Mango

Absolutely delicious! My mom had something similar to this in a Thai restaurant and started searching for a similar recipe.

Spicy Southwestern Slaw

Great topping for tacos--also a nice side dish for any type of Mexican or Tex-Mex entree! Hint: The measurements are approximate- I usually make this without any. You can use green or purple cabbage, or a combination of the two. Same goes for green or red bell peppers. For extra heat, use an additional jalapeno pepper.
