Seafood Louis I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area after getting my journalism degree from the University of Southern Mississippi. For many years, I worked near the Sheraton Palace Hotel on Market Street, a grande dame among old, elegant hotels. I loved to entertain clients there for lunch; a version of this salad was on the specials menu from time to time. I'd order it when I could tear myself away from the burger... this is a perfect lunch entrée for warmer days. Sub out any kind of seafood for the shrimp and crab. Click to forward email and recipes.

Artichoke and Seafood Dip This old standby is certainly not on the diet menu; it comes together quickly, particularly if you already have artichoke hearts cooked and cleaned. Feel free to used canned ones if you don't have access to fresh. This is best hot out of the oven; try not to slather yourself in it. Click to forward email and recipes.

Spring Asparagus with Shallots Asparagus is coming into season, and is at the peak of flavor. This very simple preparation is a perfect side dish to most any grilled meat; the butter really pulls the flavors of the asparagus and shallots together. Don't pass on this one just because it's so simple. Click to forward email and recipes.  |
