Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'
Well, it was more a memorable tapas experience - my friend and I ate our way across Barcelona, always stopping at the various jamon establishments (Palacio del Jamon!) I've never eaten more pork in my life, but boy was it worth it.
Cook the Book: 'Into the Vietnamese Kitchen'
More veggies, less meat. This book would really help me out with that!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Italian Snacks'
Mixed nuts roasted with butter, rosemary and cayenne pepper. My friends are disappointed if I don't have a fresh batch made when they come over!

Stuffing with LOTS of sage. And my brother can't live without cranberry sauce from the can (yuck).
What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?
C) Los Angeles. Taco trucks - 'nuff said.
I'm going to jump on the San Antonio is not real Mexican bandwagon, too. Some of the worst "Mexican" food I've ever had was there. Guess that's why they call it Tex-Mex.
Cook the Book: The Sweet Melissa Baking Book
Ice cream! and when I can get it, gelato :)
Cook the Book: Nigella Express
I also cook extra rice and freeze it in half-cup servings. 2 min. in the microwave and I'm done! Tastes just like fresh made, too. I've served it to guests and no one could tell that it was frozen.
Cook the Book: Milk Chocolate with Burnt Caramel Drink
truffles, of course! any custardy type dessert is awesome, too - pot de creme or pudding
Cook the Book: 'Techniques of Healthy Cooking'

Hard to pick just one, but a nice aged Parmigiano-Reggiano is hard to beat! Oooh, but I do like Manchego, too...
Cook the Book: 'Dolce Italiano, Desserts From the Babbo Kitchen'
Gelato, of course! Pistachio is my favorite...
Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything Vegetarian' Book Giveaway
Warm lentil salad - goes with everything and is great on its own.
Cook the Book: 'Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant'
Anything my husband doesn't like/won't eat! Most recently a yummy peanut butter, banana and honey sandwich.
Cook the Book: 'Vegetable Harvest'
Like everyone here, I have only herbs, BUT I just moved into a house, so I can't wait for carrots, radishes, cucumbers, peppers and Roma tomatoes. I love garden-fresh salsa!
Anyone know of a good butcher or fishmonger in West Los Angeles?
For the butcher I like Victor's - it's right off the 10 at National Blvd. where it meets Palms. It's a small family business, so nothing fancy, but they're very friendly and helpful. They'll special order something if they don't carry it. Nice deli there, too.
Cook the Book: 'The Breakaway Cook'
Fleur de sel - takes both savory and sweet dishes to a new level!
Cook the Book: 'Cucina del Sole'
Any fresh pasta with ripe tomatoes!

chocolate chip with pecans and dried cherries!
What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?
This one is an absolute no brainer. I am a software programmer and fortunate enough to work for a company that allows me to work from home, I try my best to make a point of living in a different city every year, I pack light and go. I've gone from southern cali, mid-west to the east coast and NOTHING compares to the mexican food in San Diego! Travel just 60 miles up the coast to Los Angeles and the difference is night and day, doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same category. San Diego is on the border of Mexico, and the mexican food gets exponentially worse the farther you get from it. Ask anyone who has actually tried mexican food in mulitple cities, I will guarantee the same response, San Diego hands down. Anyone who calls them nachos instead of carne asada chips, or taquitos instead of rolled tacos can automatically be discredited in this discussion. Those of you who have lived in San Diego will know what I mean.
