Cook the Book: Easy Gluten-Free Baking

Baking has been light in our house since my husband's celiac diagnosis last fall, but we adore making brownies (an easy thing to bake gluten-free).

Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'

We eat a great many meatless meals around here, though we are not vegetarians. This week, I've been hankering for a veggie version of pad thai, using tofu as the protein. Our local thai restaurant does this especially well; yum!

Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer

In high school, a friend of mine took me to a local Indian restaurant. I was not familiar with the cuisine and didn't know what to order, so I just had the same thing as my friend. I was so surprised when the chicken came out bright, bright red!
Now I love all the different flavors from that region, but it took me several years to appreciate tandoori chicken after that first attempt.

My McDonald's Shamrock Shake Journey: An Emotional Roller Coaster

We've always had them up here in Rochester, NY. They are a childhood classic - so minty and good (and yeah, vaguely gross too, in the way of all McD shakes). I buy *one* every year.

Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'

Well we make a lot of thai-style curries, to which we sometimes add a small amount of meat, but are equally likely to skip it altogether. A nice red curry benefits from just a tiny amount of finely cubed chicken.

No Acorns in US This Year?

Plenty were to be found here in western NY...

Cook the Book: 'Martha Stewart's Cooking School'

I have not actually tried too many Martha recipes, but of the ones I have, I love the banana bread the best.

Cook the Book: 'The Cook's Country Cookbook'

Unless I think it might have been sitting out too long, my favorite potluck dish is potato salad - lots of mayo and eggs and please, no celery!

Too Many Veggies from the CSA?

This was our first year as members of a modest CSA and it has been a mixed bag. I've let way too much lovely produce rot in the fridge and feel guilty about that (but my freezer has no more room). On the other hand, I learned to appreciate summer squash and the potatoes and onions were consistently better than anything I was able to buy locally. I'm still on the fence about rejoining for next year.

Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'

My biggest disaster was substituting applesauce for oil in a rich pumpkin bundt cake, not realizing that I should drain it first. I ended up with an overly dense cake that had an unappetizing "wet" layer on the bottom. Yuck!

Cook the Book: 'Sweety Pies'

I think it may have been the first grape pie I ever tasted in Naples, NY.

Hmm...today I choose the molded orange jello salad ring filled with ambrosia salad that we pretty much only make at Easter.

Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'

Tea is my favorite meal so I like all of the bite-sized treats I can fit onto my 3 tiered tea tray! But my favorite are Marks & Spencer's scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam. More like 3 bites than one but absolutely delicious!

I've always loved miniature Italian pastries. Among my favorites ate cannoli and baba oh rum. Wow are they sweet and delicious! (when they are fresh)
