Chocolate Santafereño (Colombian-Style Hot Chocolate)

My Colombian grandmother (known as abuelita or "Abi" for short) made this treat for my mom and aunt when they were kids. The cheese gets gooey and stringy, and you can use a spoon to dig out little bites of salty cheese that pair perfectly with the bittersweet hot chocolate. You can use mozzarella, shredded Swiss cheese, or crumbled Oaxacan cheese.

Kung Pao Chicken

This tasty kung pao chicken is similar to what is served in Chinese restaurants. It's easy to make, and you can be as creative with the measurements as you want. You can't go wrong! The sauce reduces until nice and thick.

Smoked Fish Dip

I think this fish dip recipe is world-class and puts most others to shame! It is served in several prominent restaurants on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Serve with crackers, lemon or lime wedges, and capers.

Authentic Vietnamese Spring Rolls (Nem Ran Hay Cha Gio)

These Vietnamese fried spring rolls are a recipe I learned while traveling through Vietnam. The ingredients are relatively simple and easy to find in any grocery store. I've cooked this several times since returning, and it's always been a hit. They taste great with dipping sauce.

Michael's Focaccia Bread

This version of the classic focaccia is easy to make while remaining authentic and true to the original. This may be the fastest yeast bread you make; it takes only one hour from conception to completion. Romano or Asiago cheeses are nice to use instead of Parmesan cheese.
