Risotto with Oregano and Brown Butter Scallops
Even though Risotto takes a bit of time to prepare, it is simple to make. This classic Italian dish is buttery and creamy rich. We added high quality scallops and some sautéed oregano for an elegant entree.
Turmeric Chickpeas with Spinach and Shishito Peppers
A hearty vegetarian meal, packed with flavour and topped with Shishito Peppers. Shishito Peppers are small, green peppers from Japan. Similar to a Spanish Padron pepper or a skinny Jalapeño, but nowhere near as spicy, except for the odd one. We like to serve it …
Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts
Fresh herbs infuse the chicken with lots of flavour, the longer you are able to marinate it. Don’t shy away from the black peppercorns, it is really good when the entire meal comes together.
Simple Tomato and Cucumber Salad
Not quite a Greek Salad, but almost. Tomatoes fresh from the grower and Persian cucumbers make this salad. Very easy to make alongside or on top of Aleppo Pepper Meatballs and Hummus.

Spago at the Bellagio, Las Vegas

Tajin Seared Pork Chops
This Mexican Blend of chili peppers, lime and sea salt was the perfect one to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, along with Green Chili Polenta or Grits and Sautéed Blue Oyster Mushrooms!
Roasted Halibut with Meyer Lemons, Yogurt Sauce and Gremolata
Meyer Lemon season is between December and May, so grab a bag when you see them. The halibut most likely will be frozen that time of year, buy it from a reputable fish store and it will still taste delicious.
