Herbs And Spices - Smoked Salmon Spread

A delicious and easy spread that always gets many compliments. Serve it with somewhat bland crackers to taste the smoked salmon. You can add some chopped capers for more flavor, if needed. I usually serve this on a nice plate and put the spread in a mold before serving.

Seafood - Scallop Topped Portabello Mushrooms

This is a nice dish to serve guests for dinner or even at a special lunch. It's extremely presentable and will wow everybody at the table.
