Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife
We've got a wonderful nakiri knife, but I'm not sure who the manufacturer is.

DIY vs. Buy: Should I Make My Own Pear Liqueur?
Does anyone have a suggestion for a not-too-expensive but decent brandy to use in projects like this, cooking, etc.? I use Pierre Ferrand Ambre for cocktails, which is great but, at $30-$40, seems a bit of an overkill for something like this. I've heard pretty bad things about the cheapo domestics like Christian Brothers. Maybe a basic VS cognac? Any names to look for would be helpful.

We've got a wonderful nakiri knife, but I'm not sure who the manufacturer is.
A Cookie A Day: 'One Sweet Cookie'
Probably not a whole lot; at the party we host every year, people usually bring tons of desserts, so it's up to me to provide the other stuff.
Cook the Book: 'Serious Eats'
Picking just one is a crapshoot, but I'll go with the no-knead pizza dough.
Serious Reads: Bitters, A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All by Brad Thomas Parsons
Angostura, Peychaud's, Fee Bros. Orange, and a variety pack of little Bitter Truth bottles; I think it has Celery, Jerry Thomas Decanter, Old Time Aromatic, Orange and Creole
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Counter Culture Coffee Subscription
Depends on my mood: sometimes black, sometimes with milk and sugar. But then, I'm mostly a tea person anyway.
Cook the Book: Molto Batali
Close friends and family.
5 Apple Brandy Cocktails from The PDT Cocktail Book
Well, Manhattans are always welcome, but I also like making Old-Fashioneds with Apple Brandy and apple cider syrup.
Win Two Tickets to the 2011 Wines from Spain Great Match
Lopez de Heredia Viña Gravonia. Or pretty much any sherry I've had so far. I can't decide!
Drink the Book: 'Thoroughly Modern Milkshakes'
The most memorable milkshakes were the ones my parents used to make. Only thing is, the way we made them was just frothing milk in a blender, and then adding some cinnamon; I'm not even sure if they were sweetened at all! Completely different from what most people think of as a milkshake (which are wonderful in a completely different way) but tasty nonetheless, and we could have them as often as we wanted.
Cook the Book: Anjum's New Indian
We don't get the Cooking Channel, but her show looks like fun; more exposure for Indian home cooking is always a good thing.
Cook the Book: The Sunset Cookbook
A combination of the Union Square farmer's market, and all the root veggies and greens we have stored away from our CSA
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Charles Chocolate
Honestly, I think chocolate chip cookies has to win it for me.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Russ & Daughters Brunch Package
mmm, fried eggs with hash browns. Add some seared tomato slices and sauteed mushrooms and I wouldn't mind, either.
Cook the Book: 'In the Kitchen with A Good Appetite'
A column drawing from places around the world that, for whatever economic/religious/etc region, developed significant vegetarian traditions: i.e. India, Ethiopia, Japan.
Also, a vegetarian column that wasn't apologetic about being vegetarian :-) I like the Temporary Vegetarian a lot, but if you think a column has enough material to be worth it, why assume that you have to soften the concept somehow?
Time for a Drink: El Floridita Daiquiri
The floridita is a great drink, but you might want to change the pull text up top; it makes it sound like there are strawberries in the featured drink, which isn't actually the case.
Cook the Book: 'The Book of Tapas'
Seared padron peppers, probably.
Cook the Book: 'Ready for Dessert'
They definitely vary over time, but have included Victoria sponges, fruit tarts and rainbow cookies.

They definitely vary over time, but have included Victoria sponges, fruit tarts and rainbow cookies.
Cook the Book: 'In The Green Kitchen'
My most important lesson was, don't stress out too much: recipes are (to a greater or lesser degree) suggestions, you can usually recover from screw-ups, and you can just pick off the burnt bits while no one's looking.
Poll: Are You Joining a CSA This Year?
This will be our fourth year with the Sunnyside CSA (in Queens). The produce comes from Golden Earthworm Organic Farm out in Jamesport, on the North Fork of Long Island.
This Week's Pizza Poll: What Do You Season Your Slice With?
On regular pizza: hot pepper flakes, garlic salt, oregano, parmesan. On occasion, I'll put some Goya adobo on it, too; don't knock it until you've tried it.
On fancier stuff: usually nothing, or some real parmesan if it's on offer.
