Karen Barnaby is the Queen of seafood in Vancouver. She wrote an article about cooking a side of Sockeye Salmon that I felt was a loser and being a fan of hers, of course I had to try. Place a 2-3 lb.filet skin side down on a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Preheat oven to 200 degrees f. Place a 9x13 baking dish half full of boiling water on the lowest rack. Place the salmon on the middle rack. Bake for 20 minutes. turn off oven and allow to sit for a further 20 minutes if you have a gas range, 10 minutes if electric. DO NOT PEEK during cooking. It is vital that you ensure your oven temp is exact. Your Salmon will be brightly colored, silky smooth and fresher tasting then any you have ever tasted. This fish was such a winner that everyone can make it, you can top it with whatever strikes your fancy and even non fish eaters adore it. Karen Barnaby never fails to please.

It's probably too late for rhubarb season, but my family loves this recipe for chicken smothered in a rhubarb/ onion sauce flavored with Cajun spices by Emeril Lagasse. I have made it several times in the last year and I think I'll freeze extra rhubarb puree now just to make this in the coming winter months.

Deborah Madison's famous black bean chili from The Greens cookbook is incredible.

I've been making this for 20 years. Great for a crowd. Great for freezing in silicone muffin cups and eating atop a sweet potato with some cilantro and yogurt for a quick lunch.

I first found this recipe for Egyptian pizza in an ancient Sainsbury's cookbook (British supermarket). It could be a Joscelyn Dimbleby or poss a Claudia Roden. http://gillwatsonlifebites.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/edgware-rd-edibles-and-time-we-mistook.html
Sorry it's part of blog but don't know how to get it off!

Eccentric but fun ice cream recipes that don't call for an ice cream maker: Harold McGee shows how on YouTube:

and strawberry gelato made in a food processor. If you are freezing you own berries, cut them in pieces for best results; otherwise some whole strawberries will escape the blade and remain like pieces of stone: http://cookingquest.wordpress.com/2008/08/23/awesome-easy-and-delicious-strawberry-gelato/

Flo Braker's Pains D'Amande was the surprise star of our Christmas table. I put them out as an appetizer and they practically became dinner for my brother-in-law - he could not stop eating them! Such an amazing find! Love the series!

Yep, so far, I've tried the birbal ke Khichdee (p. 188, which has since become a family regular favorite), pasta primavera (p.38), Chaat fries (p 127), Pizza Margherita..

I love the genius recipes column! one of my favorites is the orangette slow-roasted tomato recipe (http://orangette.blogspot.com/2005/08/better-living-through-slow-roasting.html) - the addition of coriander is perfect!

YES! This is a great one - the coriander is what makes it. Good suggestion, Sugarmountaintreats.

Love this series so much! I think Yotem Ottolenghi's sweet corn polenta (made with six ears of corn, not corn meal) is a genius summer recipe. A humble selection of peak summer ingredients (corn, eggplant, tomatoes) transforms into something truly extraordinary. It's in Plenty, and available here too: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/sep/20/vegetarianfood.recipes. You can also fry up zucchini with the eggplant- fun!

Love this feature. The peach recipe should be credited to Bill Smith, not Bill Neal. (It is in the original post here: http://food52.com/blog/2343_crooks_corners_green_peach_salad)
