Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy
Rack of lamb. It's easy but elegant.
Coq au vin in fall/winter; easy for guests and entire house smells good.
I also like the roast chicken idea someone had earlier--great idea!

Best Ethnic Markets and Grocery Stores in the Washington D.C Area
I'd like to add German Gourmet to this list. One opened last fall on Columbia Pike, near Rt 7, and it has sausages, cheeses, pastries, gummi bears, rye crackers, German wines, German beer (of course), and preserved fish. Makes you want to host an Oktoberfest party.
Essentials: Ina Garten's Mac & Cheese
This is a great recipe. I've made it for book club, game night, get-togethers with coworkers, and everyone always loves it. If someone would make pre-grated Gruyere, that would be da bomb.
Do You Find Coffee To Be a Soothing, Comforting Elixir?
Coffee is what you make during the cold, dark days of winter to sip all day. It is what you share at the kitchen table late at night or early in the morning during a crisis when there is nothing to say or do. It is the feel of a brisk summer morning, the consistency of weekly Sunday brunches with my husband. For me, coffee is associated with friends, family, holidays, vacations--the sense of being able to spend indulgent time. On vacation, we seek out coffee shops, not just for the drink, but to spend an hour or two with the locals, read the paper or books we've brought. Coffee is an event. Coffee isn't just a beverage, it is a comforting ritual.
