Baby Spinach with Fresh Berries, Pecans and Goat Cheese in Raspberry Vinaigrette: Think fresh berries are just for breakfast or dessert? Think again--they make an elegant addition to this salad of baby spinach, pecans, and goat cheese.

Brazilian-style Peel And Eat Shrimp with Fried Garlic (Camarão a Alho): As with a lot of coastal seafood-based cuisines, the technique here is exceedingly simple, relying only on the freshest, best quality shrimp.

Lechon Liempo (Filipino-style Roasted Pork Belly): There's nothing like lechon to bring all friends and family out of from every crack and crevice, and you need them all to finish that beast, but what if you don't have that prerequisite crowd to down a whole pig? Luckily there's an answer for that, and it's called lechon liempo.

Argentinean-Style Grilled Short Ribs with Chimichurri: Once you've tried short rib on the grill, you will never want to ruin it by braising it in the oven again. At least not until the winter comes.

Hibiscus Rum Cooler: This pitcher drink is tart and cooling, with bright, fresh mint and only the slightest whisper of rum. It's a sweaty-day punch based on tart, fragrant hibiscus tea--think of it as a hibiscus lemonade for grownups.

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt: A rich, fatty, and tart frozen yogurt that defies the stereotypes. And yes, it's also good at breakfast.

The Ultimate Memorial Day Recipe Guide: We've spent the last week putting together a series of recipe guides to help you out by the grill this weekend. Here they are, all in once place.
