Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
This is very hard, because I can't decide between turkey with all the trimmings or a hearty beef bourguignon with hot crusty garlic bread.
Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
Aside from Pioneer Woman and Serious Eats, it would definitely be Simply Recipes by Elise Bauer. No question.
The Barefoot Contessa's Empire
The article that is attached is over 2 years old. She has released another cookbook since then, and has completed her adorable barn.

Joseph Leonard for Lunch: Next Stop, Yummyville?
Wow.........that whole spread got me very, very hungry. That pastrami sandwich sounded like it was to die for. Great photos also.
Chris Kimball's NY Times Editorial
Chris Kimball is in need of a colonoscopy. He's full of a "lot of stuff", and most of it belongs in the toilet.

Cook the Book: Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes
I just made the pumpkin gooey the other day. It is very, very decadent. Ironically, I had found it in this cookbook which she gave out at her recent tv taping of MomLogic.
Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
Carrot cake ice cream on a hot piece of apple pie. YUM
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
Spicy Hot and Sour Soup is the way to go. It's good for you, dietetic and easy to make.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
It was an old copy of the Original Fanny Farmer cookbook I found at a flea market. I still have what's left of it, taped together.
Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'
baklava, especially warm from the oven.
Video: Brooklyn's Illegal Urban Beekeepers Are Ready to Make Honey
Is Joan Rivers on that Health Code? If not, she should be......lol
Slice Advice for the Obamas: When in Martha's Vineyard, Go to Joey's Pizza in Oak Bluffs
Nicely done, and totally true. Santarpio's in Boston is pizza legend, and this is for sure the best pie on the vineyard. Hopefully the Commander in Chief has a savvy food person who will read this review and take charge on pizza night.
Video: 'Cart, the Film'
Very touching. Nicely done all the way around
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 80: Remembering Our Serious Eater Beagle Brass
My heart goes out to you. That picture was priceless! My basset hound China and our Siamese Mix cat Yummy are serious eaters and have formed a rare bond. When China spots anything up high on the counters that she wants to eat.......she communicates with Yummy. Next thing you know, that loaf of bread, box of crackers, bag of cookies, is on the floor and China is having a blast! The cat looks at me like she knows nothing about the food on the floor, and China revels in her momentary glory. Of course, they wait until there is no one in the room before swinging into action.
Video: Churning Artisanal Butter in Maine
It is excellent butter, no doubt about it.
Video: How to Make Brownies in a Waffle Iron
I am definitely going to make this tonight. Was looking for other ways to use my new waffle maker.
Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking, Vol. 1'
My favorite summer recipe would be one that I find inside of this book once I win it. Pretty please.
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
A big juicy burger topped with tomatoes, arugula, bacon, sliced avocado, sharp cheddar and chili mayo. DeLish! I use a fresh onion bulkie or sour dough bread to hold that baby together.
Michelle Obama: Should Our First Lady Also Be America's Chef de Cuisine?
I'd love to see a video of Michelle, Alice Waters and "BO" chasing the President around the white house lawn with a plate of freshly prepared beets.
Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling
My fondest memory is being asked by my office manager's family to say the blessing and then experience "real" kugel for the first time. Oh my! I was in love, and they were honored that I had learned the prayer for this very special evening. I'll never forget it.
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
Eating a bowl of my mother's American Chop Suey sprinkled with Kraft Parmesan Cheese from the green canister. The ultimate comfort food.
Sunday Brunch: Lazy Asparagus Omelet
@SqueezeBottle........yes, it is very similar to a frittata.
Michael Ruhlman's New Book: 'Ratio'
I just ordered a copy. Can't wait to explore

[ DO NOT PUBLISH ] Video: Chinese Deep-Fried Fish ... Moving
I have seen this before. I was appalled then and I am appalled now. I just can't imagine doing that to a living creature. WTF indeed.
[ DO NOT PUBLISH ] Video: Chinese Deep-Fried Fish ... Moving
That is cruelty! Would you want to be fried only to be left a to a slow hellish death? Come on people! No compassion! Grr! Makes me angry!
[ DO NOT PUBLISH ] Video: Chinese Deep-Fried Fish ... Moving
What the hell is wrong with these people? Deep fry a live being and making fun of it as it is dying cruelly in front of them? What the hell?!!
[ DO NOT PUBLISH ] Video: Chinese Deep-Fried Fish ... Moving
I'm not squeamish but that is just horrible. My childhood dreams of being a fish are suddenly not so whimsical.
The Blumenburger — The Most Labor-Intensive Hamburger Ever
@Kenji -- Have you had a Rosenfeld's bagel? Certainly best in Boston, and I'd put it up against any "New York" variety.
For the way a split-top bun is meant to be eaten, get a hot dog at Simco's on Blue Hill Ave in Mattapan. They sear both sides of the bun on a griddle, so it's golden and crisp.
