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 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: 'Panini Express'
Anything cheesy.
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.
pasta salad for a crowd
I'm looking for a good light fresh pasta salad to feed 40 or more people at a teacher's luncheon. Anyone have some good recipes? I'm not keen on anything with a mayo base.
Vegetarian tsimmes
I need a good vegetarian tsimmes recipe. Anyone got one?
Lauren B hasn't favorited a post yet.
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.
