Cook the Book: 'On the Line'
My favorite way to prepare and enjoy seafood is to begin with the best quality seafood and do the bare minimum, both prep and cook-wise, to let the flavors shine.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'American Cheeses'
One of my favorites (it's really unfair to choose just one) is Upland Farm's Pleasant Ridge Reserve from Wisconsin.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham
ham with swiss on a baguette with butter! and a pickle on the side.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Hungry for Paris'
L'Ambassade d'Auvergne--they specialize in foods from the Auvergne region. Their regional cheese plate and aligot (whipped potatoes with cheese) are both incredible!
Cook the Book: Wine Bar Food
Something fatty, fried and salty! Like some conch or shrimp fritters!
Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy
I just make from scratch some of the things that many people buy from the store: homemade rolls, ice cream, etc.
Cook the Book: The Sweet Melissa Baking Book
homemade cherry pie with vanilla ice cream!
Cook the Book: Nigella Express
Making a huge pot of chicken stock for use in a zillion recipes (really my boyfriend's tip since he's the one who makes it!) We package it among several tupperware containers, freeze, and pull out as needed!
Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway
Ham and pink (really red) rice!
Cook the Book: Black Bottom Cupcakes
lemon with vanilla frosting and sprinkles!
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sablés
Hmm, right now it would have to be stracciatella--homemade vanilla ice cream that's had melted chocolate poured in at the last minute of churning (the warm chocolate freezes on contact with the frozen cream and breaks up into little bits). Delicious!
Valentine's Day Chocolate Giveaway
Dark. (Milk chocolate is for wussies!)
Cook the Book: 'Chocolate Holidays'
anyway i possibly can, whether it's a nibble off of a bar of Valrhona dark chocolate or melted and drizzled into home-churned ice cream (straciatella rules!) Though I'm not a big milk chocolate fan, I also enjoy the occasional hershey's kiss.
Where should I eat in Charlottesville?
Hi Robyn. Are you still checking out these comments? I myself have never had a spudnut doughnut but many of my friends (who are residents of the greater Cville region) swear that these spudnuts, so named because they are made with potato flour, are ah-mazing.
Cook the Book: 'The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The New Classics'
yes, many, and a recent favorite is Martha's coconut cake.
Seriously Delicious Giveaway: Zingerman's Gift Certificate
I love so many cheeses but I especially love Pleasant Ridge Reserve, a French Alpine style cheese that's made in Wisconsin.
Cook the Book: 'The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The Original Classics'
Oh, I've cooked from many many Martha recipes and I'd say that some standouts have been: pea and mint ravioli, a ham, green bean, and fontina frittatta, any of her cookie recipes and, of course, Martha's mac and cheese! Although she's known as being a very precise cook, I find that her recipes are largely about common sense, e.g. paying attention to properly seasoning your food and so forth. Long live Martha!

That delightful snack that only an industrial machine could produce--tater tots!!!!!

We hardly ever went out to eat so I remember when the whole family would go out for a birthday at Bill Knapp's, it was a HUGE deal.
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
I used to love when we'd get boiled crab and just run through them. We moved from New Orleans and there isn't a place to get them anymore.
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
My fondest childhood food memory was Thanksgiving at Grammy's house. Though Grammy was not much of a cook and we would have canned gravy, instant mashed potatoes, canned sweet potatoes and in those days, (late 60's) none of those products were good. But, eventhough the food stunk, we still had a good time. Thanks for a great giveaway.
PS: Sorry Grammy, I'm sure your a first rate chef for the angels.

Growing up we often had cake or pie for breakfast. It wasn't untill I went to college that I realized it was a bit outside the norm. But It hasnt stopped me from continuing to enjoy the tradition.
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
My favourite memory from childhood is every year we woud have the whole family come over for hot-pot. It was such and exciting time and a variety of food as each member would bring something different for the hot-pot. It was a surprise to see what would be cooking.
