Tamago (Japanese Sweet Omelet)

Thai Grilled Oysters

This is an easy appetizer, and takes the cake for something unusual and delicious. The following recipe for oyster grilling sauce comes from the Glidden Point Oyster Sea Farm in Maine, and believe me, they know what they're doing.

Toast Points with Roasted Garlic

I'm including this recipe because everyone loves it. It's an excellent accompaniment to the recipe for bleu cheese risotto.

Triple Mushroom Tart

This dish is rich, but mild. The Canadian bacon punches up the flavor
to bring out the best of the cheese and mushrooms. It's wonderful
as a side dish, and also works very well for breakfast on cold
fall mornings.

Truffled Custard

Truffled Devilled Eggs

Remember the golden rule of cooking with truffles: a little bit goes a long
