pasta salad for a crowd
That's some bad proofing I did - pasta salad and I'm not keen on anything with a mayo base.
Cook the Book: The River Cottage Cookbook
I grow herbs - lemon blam, basil, rosemary, thyme. I belong to a CSA so I leave the veggies up to them.
Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels
Homemade but I wish I could get the corn muffins from my childhood. They were round and about a 1/2 " thick and purchased at the Star Market in Newtonville. Toasted and buttered, they were perfection.

Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
Jon Stewart because he is a handsome, progressive and Jewish. Roast chicken, asparagus, green salad and something homey for dessert like a fruit crumble. Graham Norton (BBC) although I think he just drinks and i'd be afraid to be the butt of one of his jokes. He is funny, though.

Cook the Book: The Sweet Melissa Baking Book
Something creamy like creme brulee or flan.
The Tastiest Streets in the U.S.
I'd add Devon Avenue in Chicago.
Cook the Book: Nigella Express
Something like a big batch of couscous with chicken on Sunday night that then can be reheated for lunch for at least several days midweek.
Cook the Book: 'My Last Supper'
I'd like to be in my grandmother;'s kitchen eating anything she cooked-dairy kugel, challah and butter, pan fried chicken, toll house cookies.
Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'
Yes, I've cooked a chicken with the bag of guts still inside. But that was long ago. Currently, I'm roasting chickens using a recipe from Jamie Cooks - stick a lemon inside it and surround it with roasted potatos and rosemary. Delicious!
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Trail of Crumbs'
Carbs and chocolate.
Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'
I taught myself from cookbooks but when I make chocolate chip cookies or brisket, I am definately channeling my grandmother!
Cook the Book: Milk Chocolate with Burnt Caramel Drink
I feel like a bore but it's the toll house chocolate chip cookies from the recipe on the back of the package. Good every time.
Cook the Book: 'Chocolate Holidays'
A little piece of chocolate after dinner (Vosages, preferably) or some hot cocoa in the midafternoon.
Cook the Book: 'Whole Grains: Every Day, Every Way'
Whole wheat bread and brown rice.
Cook the Book: 'Techniques of Healthy Cooking'
Couscous with chicken and root vegetables or salmon baked with a splash of peach salsa. .
Cook the Book: 'The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without'
Roasted sweet potatos and yellow squash casserole.
Cook the Book: 'The Food You Crave'
Chicken couscous w/ carrots, turnips, peas and some harissa to splash on top.
Cook the Book: 'The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The Original Classics'
I find Marth'a recipes to be very very reliable. Well-tested and practically foolproof. Some favorites are a 'light' beef stew, a spring chicken ragout with lemony noodles, and pecan-orange granola. The latter is a favorite and we give jars of it away during the holidays.
Cook the Book: 'The Bacon Cookbook'
I keep kosher now, but when I didn't - bacon wrapped dates at a tapas bar.
Should I win a copy, I have the perfect friend to gift the book to.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Garrison Confections Ultimate Chocolate Cooler
Is that even a question? DARK.
Thanksgiving dessert, I'm serving pie and ______
My husband makes sweet potato pie and I make an apple cranberry pudding from Maida Heatter's Classic American Desserts. Sometimes we make turkey shaped sugar cookies and the kids decorate them. I am also thinking of Dorrie Greenspan's all-in-one cake with pumpkin and apples and maple sugar icing.
We definately need something chocolate-y though and the jury's out on what it will be. anyone have a suggestion?
Cook the Book: Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges
Pad thai with tofu. Or maybe pad see yu with those thick rice noodles that are just a little bit crispy-chewy.
Novels with great food scenes... what are your favorites?
I'm living in the south so I don't have much change of making maple snow, but someday I'll try it.

Definitely Ellen and take-out Chinese.
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
I would have to say Oprah. I admire her so much for all that she does for other people. I would like to have a salad with a creme brulee dessert.
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
ellen and pizza :)
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
I'd love to eat with Oprah! She would appreciate some good southern cooking. I'd cook my famous crock pot maccaroni & cheese, collard greens, and smothered chicken over rice. Yum!!!
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
I would like to dine with Ellen. We would try something from Bosco's Chicken and Waffles, because that would be a hoot!
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
No contest...I would want to sit down to an afternoon lunch in some open air restaurant and discuss where Oprah sees this country heading. As we would munch on a delicious Chicken Ceasar Salad with fresh shreded Parmesan Cheese I could probe her thoughts and reasoning in supporting Barack Obama as a presidential candidate and if she has had any second thoughts about that decision since the campaign has turned so ugly with all the media spin. And ask her too...what does she think of the way news media and paparazzi conduct their business in reporting the lives of high profile individuals like herself.

I would like to share some southern food with Oprah.

I would chose Ellen as she is a good sport and is willing to try anything! I think we would try Southern foods.
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
Soup with the Soup. Joel McHale. Tortilla Chicken Soup. With guac. Yum, and har-de-har.
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
I'd like to hang out with Ellen DeGeneres over Christmas dinner. She'd be a lot of fun and probably bring us some really good gifts.
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
Breakfast in bed with Conan!
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
I would say Rachael Ray, and of course I would like for her to cook the meal :D A few recipes of her's that I would like to try are: Shrimp with Tarragon and Tomato Sauce, Scampi Verde, or Crab Stuffed Portobellos with Sparkling Sangria and TiraMiSundaes for dessert! Yum~
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
As much as I would enjoy Stewart or Cobert, I think for a relax, easy-going time, it would have to be Ellen. I think we would have a lovely bbq with beef, and potato salad, grilled veggies, and all the great summer produce available. To end it we would have some wonderful desserts.
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
I would love to break bread with Ellen! I would feed her some great BBQ Shrimp and Blackened Steak! Southerns love things like that!

Sorry Oprah, I would break bread with Ellen
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
Since I've wanted to meet Oprah for years I'd have to choose her. She is always so down to earth and approachable.
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
I'd love to have a lunch with Rachael Ray! something simple and tastey
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
god,i really don't know what talk show host to choose,but for a meal something fun would be best
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
Oprah. Since her talk show tapes in Chicago, either pork dumplings or Home Run Inn's pizza for a meal would be wonderful....
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
Since Paula Deen is not a talk show host, I would love to have dinner with Ellen DeGeneres. I don't think I would feel intimidated by her. Thanks for the chance to win!
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
I'd like to have lunch with David Letterman. I'm thinking Italian food, lasagna or a big bowl of spaghetti, with garlic bread and salad. No fancy desserts though, he's gotta watch that delicate heart of his. Maybe a nice small strawberry sorbet.
Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook
If Johnny Carson was still alive, I'd love to sit and chat with him about all the celebrities, and non-celebrities he's interviewed in his career on television.
The meal? Everythings delish at Cantors Deli in L.A.
