Cold Sesame Soba Salad
Soba noodles are made from buckwheat, a very healthy gluten-free grain. I prefer the authentic Japanese soba, pictured here. Most grocery stores will have some kind of soba noodles.

Beef
The Ultimate Smash Burger with Dd Special Sauce
Making the perfect smash burger is all about technique. Make sure you start with really good beef, I like medium fat (not lean). I suggest making these on the grill either on a grill mat (see photo) or on a cast iron pan. I will give directions for the grill mat but if you use a cast iron pan, the instructions are the same except you need to preheat the pan for at least 10 minutes over medium heat..

Salt and Pepper Shrimp (or Any Other Protein)
The key to making an irresistible dish with very simple ingredients is the ingredients themselves! For this dish, make sure your peppercorns are fresh and you use the right kind of salt. I have two pepper mills—one with black pepper and one that is empty. I fill the empty one with what I need as I need it. In this dish, I am using mixed peppercorns.

Salt and Pepper Shrimp
The key to making an irresistible dish with very simple ingredients ARE the ingredients themselves! For this dish, make sure your peppercorns are fresh and your salt is of the right sort. I have two pepper-mills. One with black pepper and one that is empty. I fill the empty one as I need it and with what I need it for. In this dish, I am mixing black and white peppercorns. White pepper is very aromatic and super mellow . When paired with the lemon zest, this pepper mixture really has volume!

Skillet Shrimp Saganaki
I first tasted this dish in Greece and have been making it ever since. Sometimes you will see this dish made with ouzo; I use fennel to get that hint of liquorice, its signature taste. (If fennel is not your thing, leave it out.) Super easy to make as a weeknight meal served with a good chunk of crusty bread or rice, it also works well as part of a larger buffet or mezze meal. Try to make this dish with a cast iron pan, it tastes so much better. Feel free to replace the shrimp with 2 lbs skinless white fish.
