Dedication
This book is dedicated to my wonderful, supportive family.
First and foremost, to my mum and dad just for having me and for always encouraging me to be myself
To my husband Joe, and my daughters Elizabeth, Abigail, and Emily, because without their love for taste testing and honest criticism, these delicious recipes would not be possible. Hugs!
Introduction
When I decided to write United Tastes, I wanted to appeal to more than one crowd. Therefore, as my cooking sites on BellaOnline.com are American Regional Cuisine and Home Cooking, I figured that combining the two would bring us all together at The American Table.
The awesome thing about this book is that you get to make recipes based on the traditions and flavors of other cultures, while adding a fresh little twist to them. For instance, take an old favorite such as shepherd’s pie and fancy up the spuds with a little pesto and parmesan, along with a variety of fresh herbs. On the other hand, make your own slow-cooked Carnitas that can be used in a number of ways, and experiment with wonderful lemony sumac from the Middle East.
Of the 50 recipes contained in this book – they are all homemade and from scratch! I use fresh, local produce and lots of herbs in my dishes – because I believe food tastes so much better by using them. My recipes have been taste-tested over and over by family, friends, and neighbors who just keep coming back for more.
I hope you enjoy the selection of recipes and photographs I have for you in this book, as they are all easy to make, and are packed full of flavor. Book 2 of the Home Made Chef series is currently in the works and will feature more flavorful, fresh, and comforting recipes from the home cooks’ kitchens of America.
Appetizers
Shrimp & Avocado Cocktail Salad
Seasonal avocados and seafood with a little southwestern spin will have you craving this again and again.
Ingredients
2 large ripe avocados
1 Kirby cucumber, peeled and diced finely
1 small jalapeno, deseeded & finely diced
1 tbsp. fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/4 tsp. lemon/lime juice
6 large uncooked shrimp, tail off (2 with tail on)
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
Red pepper flakes, optional
Cilantro for garnish
Method
1. Halve the avocados and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon/lime juice, jalapenos, diced shrimp, cucumbers, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the bowl and gently combine. Marinate for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Toss the shrimp in the olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet on high for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and sauté until they are pink, and have a wonderful brown color.
Cool slightly, and dice all but two of the shrimp (those with their tails on) and combine with the avocado mixture.
3. Divide the mixture evenly in the shells. Garnish with a tail-on shrimp, chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.
Mini glass presentation: - Add a little sour cream to the bottom of the glass, avocado mixture, cilantro, and a tail-on shrimp on the side of the glass. Romantic and elegant!
