Cook the Book: The Southern Italian Table
Spaghetti with olive oil, in which you have sauteed finely chopped garlic, chopped Italian (flat) parsley and topped with toasted pine nuts. Perhaps an addition of finely diced plum tomato. Yummmm!
Dinner Tonight: Enchiladas Especiales Tacuba Style
Made these Enchiladas this weekend, with one difference.What we had in our pantry were some Ancho chiles, the dried version of Poblanos. I soaked them for 12 minutes in the milk that was heating for the cheese sauce. The rest of the recipe was followed exactly and came out of the looking very good. The sauce was excellent, a darker shade of green though because of the dried chiles.
Excellent enchiladas and we will be having these again for sure! Thank you Nick for this very good Rick Bayless recipe.
Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer
My first experience with any sort of curry had to have been as an adult when I was doing my own cooking. My Family was pretty much 1950's American food. I think I did a dinner with some curried shrimp and a curried potato cauliflower dish. I have since fallen totally for any type of curries, Indian, Thai or Western Asian, and I would love to expand on what I now prepare.

Oh my, let's see. Of course all the parts of Serious Eats, Noble Pig and Simply Recipes. There are some for the humor and recipes, P Dub, and some for the photography and recipes, 101 Cookbooks. There are more that I peruse occasionally. Thanks to all of them for adding to my cooking expertise.
