Going global these days isn't difficult. In fact, it's hard not to have a menu that's influenced by the flavors and ingredients of world cuisines. This month's recipes demonstrate the wealth of inspirations available to today's chefs. We're providing the recipe for Peruvian Quinoa Salad with Avocados from Andina Restaurant in Portland, and a Vietnamese Scrambled Egg Banh Mi from Chef Gabrielle Hamilton of Prune in New York City. Check out the Indian-Spiced Potato and Spinach Bajé recipe; it's a Healthy Category winner from the U.S. Potato Board's Culinary Institute of America Recipe Contest from Adam Kaswiner. Other robust ideas include the Greek Orange Salad from executive chef Joshua Linton of Ajasteak and Dana Hotel and Spa, Chicago. These and other recipes follow.
