Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Hungry for Paris'

Considering it has been eons since I was last there, I can't remember the name of a single restaurant I ate at. Would love to have the book to refresh my memory...who knows, I may have eaten at one of the restaurants!

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

Like so many others, I cook extra and then freeze it. If a recipe only calls for a portion of an onion, I chop all of it up so it's ready for the next time.

I eat pasta very seldom. Wish they'd find a good low carb one! But when I have it I dress it simply. A little butter, a little olive oil and lots of bright vegetables and herbs. Yum!

I love it all but there are times I enjoy pasta with melted butter and parmesan cheese

I'm going to argue this one because it depends upon the entire course. I don't like the heavier sauces like alfredos and the low fat ones are just nasty. I'll go with a heavily garlic pesto sauce fresh from the food processor served directly at that moment when it pulses from solid to liquid.
