Whitefish with Turmeric

Whitefish with Turmeric This is another of my cross-cultural wonders. It's like a veal scaloppini, but substituting fish for meat and marinating it in turmeric juice makes this dish much more healthful. The Omega-3s in the fish are great for skin hydration and elasticity, and turmeric is known the world READ MORE

Meatloaf with Flaxseed

Meatloaf with Flaxseed This Middle Eastern–style meatloaf is actually a ground beef and pine nut filling between two layers of a seasoned meat paste. The nutty flavor of flaxseed combines well with grassfed ground beef, which has more healthful Omega-3s and conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs, or healthful fats) than you’ll find in grain-fed READ MORE

Ostrich (or Turkey) Meatballs

Ostrich (or Turkey) Meatballs In my family we call these meatballs albondigas. I tweaked this recipe by making the broth out of green tea and using ostrich meat from a local farm. You can use store-bought vegetable broth instead of homemade. You can use it instead of the green tea, READ MORE

Fresh salmon fillet with aromatic herbs, spices and vegetables

BBQ Ribs with Baobab Sauce

Baby Back Ribs with Baobab Sauce Serves 4–6 These ribs get their boost of flavor from a sauce made with baobab—an African fruit with a rather dry but antioxidant-rich pulp.
