Peruvian Potato-Chicken Salad (Causa Rellena)
This layered Peruvian potato and chicken salad is called "causa rellena" in Peru. There's nothing very unusual about serving a chicken or potato salad at a cookout but this beautiful layered salad is sure to cause a stir! Perfect for making ahead and packing in your cooler on a hot summer day. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and cilantro if desired.
Tangy Honey-Glazed Ham
I made this ham glaze recipe using ingredients I had on hand, and it's the best I've ever tasted. Brush onto the ham during the last half hour of baking to add incredible flavor and create a sweet, sticky, caramelized coating your guests will love.
Zucchini e Pomodori Gratinati (Zucchini and Tomato Gratin)
A quick and easy vegetarian zucchini-tomato-mozzarella bake for two, a starter for four, or even a side. A rustic Italian favorite, taught me by my Roman friends. If serving as a main, then crusty bread, torn off the loaf by hand, and a green salad with a lemon and/or lime vinaigrette dressing cannot be beat.
