This is a twist on a southern tradition, with capers, bacon, shallot, and lemon zest. As seen in April 2008 Wilma Magazine.

If you are in Wilmington, be sure and pick up a copy of Wilma Magazine every month to see featured recipes from The Cook’s Canvas 2. This Oriental Cucumber and Bell Pepper Slaw was featured recently and the photos looked so good that one of the Wilma staffers made it for the whole office the next day and they all loved it!

Being the photographer for the food on this site, I have the added perk of being able to sample the great dishes presented in this new Cook’s Canvas 2 cookbook. They are all so good, I had three of these bourbon slushes and all I can say is… bourbon is the new vodka - these are really good! Ben Parsley

These are so adorable…looks like southern sushi. I don’t even eat ham, but adore this presentation. I have seen it recently at a party in Wilmington, and they were gone fast!!!

Fabulous! Even those of us who just cut fruit in the kitchen and that’s all, can do this!

This recipe is easy and the results are incredible. I have made this salmon dish a 100 times and it works every time. The pistachios add a very good flavor to the salmon. Adults to children love this wonderful dish.

This salad is a crowd pleaser. The ginger and mint pleasantly complement the fruit. A colorful salad to make ahead. Can also be served in large goblets over yogurt with a sprinkling of granola.

The reserved syrup may also be used mixed with tonic or pomegranate juice as a refreshing beverage… add some vodka and garnish with mint and an orange slice and you have a Gingertini!
