2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3/4 pound ground pork
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
3 cups coleslaw mix
1 teaspoon Chinese Five spice
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sriracha
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
12 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten
oil for frying

Heat the 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the pork with a spatula,
until meat is browned and cooked through. Add the garlic and ginger then cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the coleslaw mix and green onions. Add the Chinese five spice, red
pepper flakes and sriracha. Cook until cabbage is wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then remove from heat. Spoon approximately 2-3 tablespoons of filling onto each egg roll wrapper and fold according to package directions, using the beaten egg to seal the edges of the wrappers as you go. Pour 2-3 inches of oil into a deep pot. Heat the oil to 350 degrees. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, until browned all over, approximately 3-5 minutes.

8 slices brioche bread
1/2 cup Nutella
8 ounces triple cream cheese (ie St. Andre)
Strawberry coulis
1/4 cup clarified butter

Spread Nutella evenly over the brioche bread and add cheese, much like you are making a grilled cheese sandwich. Spread butter on top of each side of the bread and grill in a hot pan over medium heat until golden brown. Let cool and slice in half diagonally and then again.

1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
18 large oysters, freshly shucked on the half shell
1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese
1 ounce grated Pecorino Romano cheese
2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon green onions
Pinch of red chili flakes

Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. In a small saucepan gently melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic, I teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper, and 1 pinch of dried oregano.

Reserve in a small bowl. Place 18 large oysters on the half shell right over the hottest part of the grill. The oyster shouldn't be cut loose from the shell as they can slip and fall right the grill. Spoon enough of the seasoned butter over the oysters so that some of it will overflow into the fire and flame up a bit. The oysters are ready when they puff up and get curly on the sides, about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together 1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese and 1 ounce of grated Romano cheese.

Top the oysters with the cheese mix and 2 teaspoons of finely chopped parsley. Serve on the
shells immediately

3/4 cup red wine
3 cups beef stock
2 cups chopped tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano

Slice the top round into 1/4 inch cutlets. Season with salt and pepper and dredge in flour. On medium high heat, brown the cutlets on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pot. Add oregano and basil at the end.

Add butter and vegetables, including the mushrooms and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add one tablespoon of the flour and continue to cook two minutes. Deglaze with the red wine and add in the tomatoes, beef stock, thyme, and bay leaves.

Cook over low heat for 2 hours or until the meat is tender. At the end, add the oregano and basil.
