German Celery Root Salad
Celery root salad (Selleriesalat) is a staple in Germany in winter. You can buy it ready-made in a jar but my mom always made it for us from scratch. If you like, you can add garlic or fresh herbs, but I prefer it plain.
Tuna Souvlaki Pasta Salad
A non-traditional dinner-style pasta salad for those favoring a vinaigrette dressing. Keep some minty gum handy for afterwards!
Okinawa Shoyu Pork
I think the Okinawans got the slow food concept right. Okinawa shoyu pork was one of my favorite recipes growing up. Shoyu pork is eaten over rice or on top of soba noodles. The soy sauce-marinated, slow-cooked pork has just the right amount of sweet taste (imagine Okinawan brown sugar). It is pretty close to perfect.
