Peruvian Ceviche
This recipe was given to me by Leo Porter of Fort Kalamath, Oregon. Leo spent several years in Peru and is a wonderful gourmet cook. Ceviche is an appetizer that is popular throughout Latin America. The acidity of the lime juice actually "cooks" or "pickles" the seafood and firms the flesh.

Seafood Gumbo - New Orleans Style
Leo Neil of Crosby, Texas generously shared this fantastic New Orleans Gumbo recipe with me. Leo says, "I'm very passionate about New Orleans traditional cooking and it's a shame to what culinary level the mighty gumbo has sunk. I always try gumbo in restaurants and I've been to some of the best, but they NEVER get it right."

Shrimp Martini Ceviche with Chili-Cumin Chips
For a wonderful refreshing first-course presentation, serve this delightful ceviche martini. The acidity of the lime juice actually "cooks" or "pickles" the shrimp and firms the flesh.


Shrimp Paella
A good bottle of wine, salad, and bread are all you need to make a terrific dinner with this wonderful paella. The amounts of the ingredients are relative and it does not matter if you use more of one and less of another or chose not to use some at all. The vital thing is the preparation of the rice so that it comes out loose.
