Cook the Book: 'Bi-Rite Market's Eat Good Food'

I love my neighborhood co-op because I can walk to it!

Cook the Book: 'Cooking Light The Complete Quick Cook'

1 cup cooked cannelini beans + 1 can good tuna in olive oil + 1 cup vegetables (leftover green beans, radishes, whatever) + squeeze of lemon juice + olives or capers if I've got them + salt and pepper. Yum.

Cook the Book: 'The Occasional Vegetarian'

Split pea soup. If only my family loved split pea soup as much as I do.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife

I love my bread knife. I don't imagine there's anything special about it, but it never squashes my bread.

Cook the Book: 'Kosher Revolution'

Latkes! A whole holiday devoted to deep-frying!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife

My favorite knife is a Cutco chef's knife. I love it because it is long and heavy and powerful but precise. Or maybe I just love it because it's mine and I'm so used to it. I especially love it right after I get it sharpened!

Serious Reads: Bitters, A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All by Brad Thomas Parsons

Sadly, none! But my New Year's resolution is to kick the boring wine habit and learn more about classic cocktails.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

Favorite pork memory: Watching my son the first time he discovered he liked bacon. You couldn't pry it out of his little hands. I think he ate a whole pack.

Cook the Book: 'American Flavor'

American flavor means cooking where you're at: Maybe it's international flavors, but the ingredients and the sensibility come from the land around you.

Bake the Book: 'The Butch Bakery Cookbook'

Chocolate and salted caramel ice cream -- is that manly? My husband thinks so.

Bake the Book: Dolci

Olive oil cake. Not too sweet. Yum.

Cook the Book: Molto Batali

We have friends over almost every Sunday night. It's not a huge crowd -- three or four adults, five or so kids -- but it always makes me happy.

Cook the Book: 'Cooking Without Borders'

Isn't all of what we eat traceable to some long-ago fusion, anyway? I mean, ketchup was an Asian fish sauce long before we started putting it on fries.

Cook the Book: 'The Mozza Cookbook'

I've only visited Italy as a pretty broke student, but I remember the massive metal pots of coffee and rich milk the cook at the hostel would stir up. A big mug of this and a crusty roll was breakfast. It somehow sustained most of the day!

Cook the Book: 'Ruhlman's Twenty'

Heat! Knowing how hot is too hot, not hot enough, and just right.
