Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'

My mom did, both by exposing me to TV cooking shows (like "Yan Can Cook" and the "Great Chefs of..." show), and by letting my sister and I cook with her. She also subscribed to Bon Appetit magazine back in the day and saved all of the issues, which I would pore over religiously. And I read (and still do) her Silver Palate cookbooks like they were novels and subjected my family to the recipes from them over and over. I would find a favorite and then make it day after day, till my family begged for a change.

A.J. Liebling. For an overweight man with a love of boxing and journalism, he certainly did right beautifully and humorously about his love for food.

Mario Unclogged: Leo Maya's Chicken with Green Sauce

So, I had to make this with regular red tomatoes, because my grocery store was mysteriously out of tomatillos. The good news is that it was still delicious! I added more chili peppers, because I like it spicier, and I also added half a white onion. I served it with warm corn tortillas, feta cheese, scallions, and Frank's Hot Sauce--it was fabulous and easy.

Just one question: what kind of pan did everyone else cook this in?

What summer foods are you cravin'?

Grilled trout with basil butter, Silver Queen corn on the cob, gazpacho with fresh bread, bing cherries, key lime margaritas on a day with nothing else going on, heirloom tomato tart with chevre, crab custard tart, cook-outs with country ribs, panzanella, grilled shrimp tacos with plenty of avocado, and blackberry ice cream in a cone (it's not the same in the winter).

I put ketchup on _____

I like ketchup on fries, but I don't need it. I do, however, NEED to have it (Heinz) on scrambled eggs. With hot sauce, too. I like it on hamburgers, too, but there are all sorts of other sauces you can make for those.

Taco, the food shaped like a smile...

Going to college in SoCal exposed me to some truly awesome Mexican food (the likes of which is nearly impossible to find on the East Coast), so here goes: Always, always soft corn tortillas. Carnitas tacos are amazing, but I crave a good fish taco more than any other kind. For condiments I love fresh shredded cabbage and the really thin, strong salsa with a lot of fresh cilantro in it. Chunky, tart guacamole is nice, too, but anything involving the nasty, metallic tasting canned black olives, or dried out pre-shredded cheese is immediately off my list.

Now I want tacos for lunch...

Win Your Thanksgiving Turkey!

We simmer them to make stock which we add a bit of to the gravy and save the rest for the huge, inevitable pot of turkey soup which is traditionally made the day after Thanksgiving. The neck is thrown out afterward, but some people (who shall remain nameless) like to eat the giblets...usually in their gravy, but not necessarily.

Cook the Book: Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges

Definitely Drunken Noodles (or Pad Kee Mao) with shrimp and a nice, cool glass of Thai Iced Tea.

I love soft tacos with refried beans, yellow cheese, tomato, minced onion, iceberg and hot sauce!
