Sauce
Lime, Garlic, and Oregano Mojo
This is the "he-man" of mojos, and the classic combination of lime, garlic, and oregano is a must for grilled red meats. Try it with flank steaks, T-bones, sirloin steaks, or lamb.

Triple-Mustard Sauce
Mustard and honey are a combination that's ideal for lamb or tuna steaks. It's a bit too pungent to use for dipping, but the flavor mellows with cooking. Brush the sauce liberally on meat or fish before and during grilling. The recipe makes enough for about 1 1/2 pounds of lamb or fish.
Any marinade coming in contact with raw meat, seafood or poultry must be boiled for one minute before using it for basting.
Caribbean Coconut Curry Sauce
Brush this slightly sweet lime-scented sauce on shrimp or chicken before and during grilling. The recipe makes enough for 1 1/2 pounds of chicken or shrimp, with some left over to pass at the table.

Soy Dipping Sauce
We serve this sauce with both the sugar snap pea tempura and the pork and jicama dumplings . If you make only one of these hors d'oeuvres, however, this recipe should be halved.
Pound Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream and Apple Cider Sauce
The rich, creamy sauce is also delicious on crisps, puddings and cobblers.
