Yes, I love it and his first book called Ottolenghi. Everything turns out well and tastes so good. Love the eggplant from the cover.

We love our Shun chef knife and fight over it. Get a Shun. Not sure what kind ours is, it is all metal.

I've always loved oysters raw so I would follow @Pavlov or @AnnieNT suggestions.

When my husband and I were dating, I ordered a plate of mixed oysters on the half shell as a sort of a test. Growing up in the mid-west, he was raised eating seafood from Long John Silver or Red Lobster on Fridays. Anyway, the oysters were a hit. He eats them and just about every kind of sushi so I guess he passed the "test".

Parmigiano Reggiano. In a vegan world, I would miss it most of all the things I eat. In my house, we call it the king of cheeses and worship it accordingly. The 2008 crisis had me very worried.

Sorry about the goofy link, don't know what I did wrong.

I have with buttermilk and then danced around the kitchen with pride.

One of these days I will try Kenji's way.

I'll admit I was ready to make a run for it with the D'Artagnan ham at Costco...but it weighed too much. Too bad they don't have them this year.

We are four. My family would go crazy over lobster bisque, do you have a great recipe?

Our menu is as follows:
-smoked turkey, smoked on our grill
-green bean casserole, the one from many cans
-scalloped yams with praline topping
-roasted brussel sprouts
-stuffing, I want chestnuts, but I am not sure if the clan will go for them.
-pumpkin pie, again from many cans
-apple pie, my usual recipe
-serrano-cranberry sauce and I want to try the chipotle one from here.

I saw some at Costco today, they were pre-roasted and peeled. Trader Joe has the them from Italy and our Armenian/Mexican supermarket has them as well.

I always loved the mock fruit made out of marzipan or poor man's caviar ; )

Seriously, it is very had to have a gluten intolerance. As a worshiper of pizza, I would be very sad not to eat it and would try to find an alternative. For my kids' friends with celiacs, I have experimented with a few gluten free cakes with some success, the egg and dairy allergies are the hardest for me to mock up.

Thanks @Farley, nice to have a review of truck just one suburb away from my own. Our only regular truck is the Patty Wagon.

I'm really looking forward to the handmade tortillas.

Yes, all the time, especially with seasonal things. Every Thanksgiving, I think to myself, turkey is delicious. By the end of two weeks of turkey, soup, leftovers and so on, the smell alone repels me.

I have never OD on something permanently.

Yes, you can make Armenian garlic sauce, soup, and so many other things. I use it more than the blender or food processor.
