Unforgettably Delicious Purple Potato Salad<br />
Purple potatoes give this a cool look, but good old Yukon Golds will<br />
also do just fine.<br />
Serves four, so scale up to serve a crowd.<br />
1 1/2 lbs Peruvian purple potatoes or mini Yukon Golds<br />
2 tsp salt<br />
3/4 cup mayonnaise<br />
2 tbsp Dijon mustard<br />
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil<br />
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese<br />
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice<br />
Salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped<br />
3/4 cup sliced green olives<br />
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped<br />
2 green onions, thinly sliced<br />
1 small onion, diced<br />
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil<br />
and add salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer potatoes for<br />
15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let cool in a large bowl<br />
before smashing.<br />
Ina medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, oil, cheese<br />
and lemon juice to make dressing; season with salt and pepper to taste.<br />
Add chopped eggs, olives, jalapeno peppers, green onion and onion<br />
to smashed purple potatoes. Pour dressing over mixture and stir well<br />

BBQ Pears<br />
Grilled pears with orange peel, Grand Marnier and mint are truly<br />
spectacular. Follow with a bottle of Grappa. Serves 6.<br />

Preheat grill to medium-high (about 400 degrees F). Place 2 sheets of<br />
foil (one on top of the other) on a flat surface. Add 1 tbsp brown sugar<br />
in the centre of the foil square. Place pear upright on top of sugar.<br />
Drizzle pear with Grand Marnier and garnish with orange ppel and 2<br />
sprigs of mint. Bring the corners of the foil square to the centre and<br />
