Q: We had dinner at Spice recently and ordered an appetizer of lobster. It was served it with a small portion of jicama and Asian pear coleslaw. It was wonderful.

A: This slaw, one of chef Paul Albrecht's signature dishes, is the base for a fried South African lobster tail. Asian pears, crisper and milder than the more common European variety, are a perfect counterpart to jicama, a sweet, crisp tuber. Both can be found at farmers markets.
