Grilled Italian sausage and pepper sandwiches, the Fenway Park street-food classic. Sausages are par-boiled then grilled crispy and piled into toasted sub rolls with sweet sauteed peppers and onions.

Quick and easy rendition of a classic. Serve these garlicky marinated shrimp over or tossed with your favorite pasta.

Prepare your recipe for kefta meatballs. Let them simmer for at least an hour in this spicy tomato-based sauce.

Orzo, spinach and pine nuts, with garlic, tomatoes and a bit of romano cheese makes an elegant side dish.

This recipe was given to me by a former co-worker. It is much lighter and healthier than regular lasagna.

Beef Tenderloin with spicy Gorgonzola cheese and Pine Nut Herb Butter

The spices used in this recipe give these little meatballs a Moorish influence. A variation of a popular item at tapas bars, these albondigas can be served in a broth or with a sauce for dipping.

This recipe is over 100 years old. I add a twist to the recipe (and a little sweetness) by adding some golden raisins, like my favorite restaurant in Provincetown, Mass., does.

A very different twist on tradional pasta/macaroni salad. Loaded with ingredients, this could be a meal in itself.

This version of the garlicky roasted eggplant dip does not have tahini in it as with a traditional version. While I really like an "authentic" baba ghanoush, I also enjoy the commercial Sabra brand, which uses mayo and some spices. It is slightly sweet and has a little kick. This is my rendition.

Hearty beef stuffed zucchini boats topped with melted cheese. Ground beef, rice, and marinara fill summer squash halves for a satisfying baked dinner.

Absolutely worth the effort of preparation. The chicken tasted so delicious and packed with flavor. No need to order take-out from now on. This homemade tandoori chicken is as yummy as the restaurant one.

This is my copycat of the popular salad sold at McDonald's. It's the only thing I eat off their menu and I was anxious to replicate it at home.

Roasted cod with plum tomatoes, orange zest, and caramelized onions. A one-dish Mediterranean fish dinner with bright citrus, fresh thyme, and sweet roasted vegetables layered over flaky white fish.

Classic Italian balsamic bruschetta with ripe Roma tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic and Parmesan on toasted French bread. Essential summer appetizer for tomato season.

Roasted beef tenderloin crusted in cracked peppercorns, Dijon mustard, butter, and parsley, sliced thin and served with a creamy horseradish-mustard sauce. A dinner-party showstopper.
