French Cocktails--both Classic and Contemporary

BaHa is correct, the French believe cocktails to be palate-killers so any pre-dinner libations are mild or slightly sweet. The French have quote a few drink options, though, if you're interested in aperitifs...

Which TV chef cooks the most authentic Italian food?

The low-cup tops on the Food Network are apparently de rigueur. The New York Times uncovered this last week in their hard-hitting reportage, "Frump-Free Cooking: The Look That Sizzles"

Mario is the best you're gonna get on tv as far as Italian is concerned. Not as sexy, maybe...

Cook the Book: 'The Silver Palate Cookbook, 25th Anniversary Edition'

I was obsessed with Laura Ingalls Wilder as a kid, so my very first cookbook was the Little House one. Sadly, the recipes sounded better on the page than they tasted in real life!

LIDIA IS YOUR BEST BET RIGHT NOW TO GO FOR ITALIAN FOOD .
MOST OF HER RECIPE ARE SIMPLE A TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL WAY OF COOKING.
MARIO CAN BE A BIT COMPLEXED
YES JADA IS A JOKE, SHE IS NOT AN ITALIAN COOK STAY AWAY FROM HER STUPID RECIPE

wow what is with the dereogatory bashing against giada? The way someone dresses has nothing to do with their cooking ability, remember this is food network not style so her clothing choice should not affect you this much. If you think Giada dresses so 'sleezy' you must think that Sandra Lee dresses similar to a prostitue. And might i add that she adds a twist to italian food therefore making them not authentic but her take. And her recipies have all turned out incredible for me so maybe its not the recipe.......

back on topic Lidia B is definitly the way to go for the most authentic recipies

My favorites have always been something we've called Margaret's Mess, after the cousin who gave us the recipe. They have oatmeal, cocoa, peanut butter, butter and some other things. They are wonderful!!

My late sister came up with an awesome chocolate chip oatmeal cookie that takes two hands to eat. The dough is so thick, your arms ache from trying to mix it all together...but that pain is well worth the results. Great warm!
