Smoked Salmon Sushi Roll

Submitted by: Vivian 
Why go out and buy expensive sushi when you can make it right at home? This simple dish is made from steamed rice, with avocado, cucumber and smoked salmon all wrapped up in dried seaweed. It might take awhile to learn how to make a perfect roll, but you'll have fun trying! Add wasabi (Japanese horseradish) for a good kick!

These thinly-sliced marinated cucumbers make a refreshing addition to a salad, or a nice side dish for a barbecue. We think they 'd even be great on an open face sandwich on pumpernickel or rye bread.

Green Tea Layer Cake

Submitted by: Suki 
This is a light and moist cake that is not too sweet and has a refreshing green tea fragrance. The frosting uses cream cheese but has enough sweetness to mask the sour taste. The matcha (green tea) powder gives it a delicate green hue too. This cake can also be baked as a sheet cake in a 9x 13 inch pan or as 2 separate round cakes in two 8 inch round pans. Adjust baking time accordingly.
