Persimmon Salad with Greek Yogurt

From Eric Gower's The Breakaway Japanese Kitchen, this recipe was featured at the Sunday Civic Center market's Eat Local 101 booth on November 9,2008. People who eat this dish for the first time are often in a state of shock that persimmons can actually taste this good! A great first course to any meal.

Sautéed Asian Pear with Grand Marnier

An elegant, three-minute dessert. This works equally well with Fuyu persimmons.

Soy Brined Roasted Turkey

It’s a shame that most people cook turkey only on Thanksgiving and Christmas; this festive version could be a monthly event! It's a good idea to brine (basically the combination of sugar and salt in water or stock) the bird overnight, which keeps the meat extremely moist. This is not necessary, but it does give a more flavorful, moister turkey. The roasting requires some care, but the results are well worth it.
