Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking Volume 4: Farm Markets & Gardens'

I've been going to the Dupont Circle farmer's market, and it's been pretty amazing these past few weeks - tons of great tomatoes, fresh (non-recalled and organic) eggs, great eggplant, etc.

Cook the Book: Ad Hoc at Home

Celeste on the UWS in NY. Small, intimate, and really reasonable - I don't think I've ever paid more than $50 for two people to have an app, entries, desert, and wine. Amazing.

Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'

A hole in the wall bar in the east of Madrid where we used to watch the Real games - spectacular manchego, grilled sardines, and copious amounts of whatever the bartender served with the $1 canas...

'Chopped' Season Premiere Rechat

Yea, I didn't think the chefs or the mystery baskets were particularly interesting and entertaining. I wasn't thrilled with having the judges there and commenting on the food while the chefs were making it.

Also the color palate of the entire show is a bit too dark and monotone, which may not bother some, but made the show almost look cheap and hastily done.

Is a Small Kitchen an Excuse for Bad Cooking or Not Cooking at All?

I agree that size shouldn't be an impediment to cooking - I have a friend who caters for a small school using only hot plates (they have no actual kitchen.) And he makes some pretty damn good food.

iBreath: The iPod Breath Analyzer Attachment

Really? $79? Forgetting about the fact that someone would go to the trouble of getting an electric breathalyzer for their Ipod, couldn't you just get one of those disposable ones for much cheaper?

Or possibly just don't drink and drive? At all?

Guy Fieri Doesn't Eat at T.G.I. Friday's

I mean, do we expect celebrity chefs to only eat at their own restaurants? Who cares where he eats?

Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'

Most often: onions (yes I know everyone else has written this as well, but there's a reason!)

Pears. For some reason, I always buy fresh pears, but they've gone really soft and mushy by the time I can eat them!
