Those of you that have had a sandwich similar to this before already know how magical these flavor combinations are, but there are probably some of you who are thinking that these ingredients couldn't possibly work.

The Hawaiian love of Spam is legendary. So much so, that the first "Hawaiian" thing I ate when I visited Oahu was a Spam musubi from Musubi Cafe Iyasume in Waikiki.

My recipe for fall-off-the-bone beef ribs has been so successful on this blog that I thought I'd go ahead and take a crack at making baby back ribs using the same oven technique. The benefits to using an oven are that you can make these ribs any time of the year and the oven regulates... Continue Reading →
Kobeba (pronounced Ko-beh-buh) or Kibbeh, is a classic Middle Eastern dish consisting of a filling of ground beef surrounded by layers of a ground beef and cracked burghul (bulgur) wheat mixture.
