Cook the Book: 'How to Roast a Lamb'
I love the seeded lamb shop that mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger make with sesame seeds and flax seeds.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Boring but comforting - an overly stuffed tuna salad sandwich, on wonderful crusty rye bread, a slight smear of mayo, crisp iceberg lettuce, juicy tomato, cut in half please.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Oh boy what a hodge podge it was. A flank steak with Saucy Susan smothered on it, green beans (probably from a can) and Queen Anne cherries (definitely from a can). It sounds vile, but it is evocative of growing up.

Cook the Book: The Southern Italian Table
Well, it sounded good THEN....
just butter and catsup...mixed in with plain old spaghetti until it all mushed together.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
It was the NY Times Cookbook by Craig Claiborne. My husband (then suitor) at the time borrowed it in an attempt to show me he could cook. Perhaps too ambitiously, he chose to make Brunswick Stew. It came out like a deranged version of succotash that even his dog would not approach. He never cooked again - though I still do all the time - and this arrangement seems to have worked out well over the course of our now 31 year marriage!
Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
As the chefs from Animal in Los Angeles have proven, there is no wrong time to eat bacon!
Cook the Book: 'Dishing Up Vermont'
That's an easy one - I live in California - home of some of the best produce markets around - and open year round!
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
a thinly sliced stack of roast beef, turkey, salami, whatever I had, wrapped in a romaine lettuce leaf, with onion and tomato and maybe creamy horseradish sauce or sweet hot mustard. Usually it drips down my arms after the first bite, but hey, I'm alone so it's OK :)
Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer
Our son, the vegetarian actually introduced us to Indian food when he was five years old. He came home from a play date with a friend, whose parents took him out for the buyziest (spiciest) peas he ever ate!!!
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger taught me how to make a burger during a cooking demo. Shallots are cooked down with a WHOLE bottle of red wine with some thyme leaves thrown in, then mixed with blue cheese and stuffed inside of a burger and cooked as you wish. Delectable!
Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'
Rockenwagner's Bread at the Westwood Farmers Market - oh boy, what I wouldn't give for a pretzel roll right this instant!
Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'
Yum, love a rustic apple crostada!
Cook the Book: 'Bottega Favorita' by Frank Stitt
Pasta a la Norma - love the combination of ricotta salata and eggplant and tomatoes and rigatoni.
Cook the Book: 'Serious Barbecue' by Adam Perry Lang
Yummmmmm....grilled corn - till it pops and is charred in sections, with garlic parsley butter and lime and oaxacan cheese.........
Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'
It would be funny, except it involved chicken. We left a butterflied chicken to cook on the grill for an hour and a half, not realizing that the charcoal had long ago died out :(
Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
Mark Bittman is my culinary guru. I own at least a half dozen of his books and have watched all his TV shows. In his minimalist style, he teaches us that you can make a simple, responsible AND tasty dish and should you wish to embellish upon that, he gives you tips for that as well.
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
Peanut Stir fry with a huge assortment of vegetables and sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
Cook the Book: 'The Great Wings Book'
I agree with the post before me. Love crudites with a good romesco dip.
Cook the Book: 'The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook'
feta, luscious tomatoes, cucumber, kosher salt...oh boy!
Cook the Book: 'Into the Vietnamese Kitchen'
Find more ways to use smoked paprika, which I recently discovered and fell in love with!

I agree with soup - homemade tomato soup is a fave.
