Ash-e-jow (Iranian/Persian Barley Soup)

I've seen a lot of recipes for Ash-e-jow (Iranian/Persian barley soup); however, my mother-in-law adds tomato paste for a bit of a different flavor and she doesn't add any lentils or beans. It's thick, filling, and delicious, and you could make it vegetarian by using vegetable stock.

Strawberry Bellini

A strawberry bellini is a nice drink for Mother's Day, a brunch, or a shower.

Grilled Peppercorn Steak and Caramelized Pecan Salad with Cabernet-Cherry Vinaigrette

This is a summer favorite that I served in many restaurants, inspired by my 'oops, the Cabernet wine has turned again in the heat,' moments. This is usually the meal, but it may also be an appetizer salad as well. I offered it as both in my restaurants. The dressing and pecans keep for a few weeks unrefrigerated, and I often make these in bulk in advance for several meals. A simple dish, easily made by any level cook, it is a stylish, beautiful, and delectable entree salad fit for company.

Ashlei's Smoked Trout Dip

I always have the trout dip at one of my favorite restaurants, and I've finally figured out the recipe, or at least how to make my own delicious version. Serve with crusty baguette chips, pita chips, bagel chips, etc.

Real Hummus

This recipe for hummus is a family version that has been passed down for many generations. Eat with warm pita bread.
