    Main Dish Recipes

    A mix of European and Asian main dishes, that’s what you’ll find in this collection.

    Try flavor-packed entrees like Roman-Style Chicken (Pollo alla Romana)  from Italy, Spanish Sweet & Sticky Wings  or a healthy serving (or two) of Swedish Salmon Burger with Lemon Yogurt Sauce

    Perhaps you’re craving for a main course with Asian spices? Try Salt and Pepper Pork Belly and Thai Ginger Chicken – two of my favorites!
