Japanese grilling at its sweetest--and simplest, with just a quick turn over the coals and a happy little sauce of soy, sake, honey, and ginger for dipping and drizzling.

Folks are calling this grilled chicken thighs with arugula salad "wonderful" and "perfectly balanced" and "restaurant quality." Sorta enticing, yes?

Knowing how to perfectly blister shishito peppers results in a beguiling cocktail nosh with a mildly tingly, almost sweet heat.

A no-fuss meal, this Portuguese salad--full of meaty chickpeas and flakes of salt cod--is tossed in a cider vinegar dressing and topped with chopped egg.

Choriqueso = chorizo (spicy Mexican sausage) + queso (Spanish for cheese) melted into a puddle in a skillet. Perfect for dipping.

Wicked. Sinful. Indulgent. Those are just a few of the words being bandied about by folks who've succumbed to this crack-like concoction. What better to do than make some and settle in with Netflix?
