Cakespy: Leftover Halloween Candy Pie
This is a disgusting waste of candy by people who have too much.
Instead, why not send excess Halloween candy to the troops overseas by putting together a care package. It will be appreciated.
Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
Hate admitting that it's Eater because of the NY food gossip.
And Chez Pim.

Poor Bryan V and Ashley don't get their photos in the collage above? That's a little mean.

ribollita. and i could use a bowl right now.
Q&A with a 'Top Chef' Season 5 Crew Member
The worst season of the bunch, including the current one. Full of weirdos, pretty boys and cryers. Stefan was the only one who could cook, damning with faint praise. The rest were useless frycooks. The fact that Hosea ended up winning is a black mark for the show for its duration. He doesn't deserve to stand with Stephanie, Hung or Harold (though Ilan is almost as lame).
This season has much better contestants, performing at a much higher level. At least 5 decent contenders for the prize.
'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' Cupcakes
Very clever. And something that can be replicated at home.
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
My favorites are all the Korean soups -- seaweed, tofu, kimchee, soon dooboo, dduk, etc. They're all good, I can't choose one. And pasta fagioli too.
Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
Porky fatty crispy goodness
Photo of the Day: Maximus/Minimus's Pig Truck
They should paint it pink.
The Hamburger Cushion, on Etsy
My only complaint is that the meat patty and the bun look the same. Frankly, I asked for medium rare.
Baja Fresh Rips off Kogi Truck with 'Baja Kogi' Tacos
"Baja" is Spanish, "kogi" is Korean (and phonetically spelled), so absolutely Kogi BBQ should sue the pantalones off those Baja Fresh a-holes. Why not called it "Baja Carne" or "Baja Manzo" or "Baja Meat" if they weren't deliberately ripping off Kogi and trying to deceive customers?
Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
Baking success: baking under time pressure. The few times when I barely had enough time to whip something up, flying by the seat of my pants, and still being able to pull off a not-too-bad success.
Otherwise, I was rather proud of my first really good fluffy souffle. I was rather young.
Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'
Most memorable? Can't think of too many since they were always a prelude to late nights that were much more notable. Perhaps not tapas, but there's nothing like coming out of steaming hot Spanish club sweat dripping from your brow into the dark of early morning, and trudging to a little stand to have fresh fried churros and rich liquid chocolate. Yum.
Cook the Book: 'Seven Fires'
Ceviche. With a pisco sour.
Who's The Most Serious Eater In Your Life?

Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'
Fresh peach pie.
Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling
Watching my mother make Korean food, particularly when she would rope us kids into a production line. From making dumplings to making vats of kimchi to using a tub to make batter for Korean bindaedduk pancakes. It was always nice to make a mark on the ones that we made so that we could spot them later for eating.
Snapshots from South Korea: Hyoja-dong Old Fashioned Tteokbokki
What? Where can you get this version in NYC?
Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
Fish tacos in Mexico. Right on the beach.
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
My mother's meat and potato croquettes.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
Tomato sauce with siracha to give it a little kick.
In Videos: And Finally Tonight, Jesus in a Bucket of Spumoni
Jesus was black. Or at least dark-skinned.
Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'
Many many years ago, traveling by ferry, rail and bus across the Algarve, and being pointed at and giggled about by small Portuguese children who apparently had never seen an Asian person before. Glad I could expand their world.
Cook the Book: Michael Laiskonis’s Dark Chocolate, Peanut, and Caramel Tart
There are seriously only 5 comments? I'll take a book.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Spaghetti with meatballs and chunks of Italian sausage in a smooth garlicky red sauce, caesar salad with homemade garlic croutons, warm crusty Italian bread with butter, a nice barolo, and lemon cheesecake for dessert.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
fajitas, hands down.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Favorite family dinner would have to be my childhood birthday meal of Earl Abel's fried chicken and black bottom pie.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Sauerbraten and homemade sides.

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
We called it "chicken and glop", but it was chicken and rice. How did my mother put up with us?
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
It depends on the weather for me, but at this time of year it's roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas (homegrown, please; frozen peas from the store are inevitably overripe), green salad, and pie.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
meatloaf and mashed potatoes!
Cakespy: Leftover Halloween Candy Pie
hey! I saw this a few days ago and searched and searched for it so I could make it today! You might add a tag just called Candy Pie to make it easier for folks to find it. I finally remembered you calling it leftover halloween candy pie and thats how I finally found you!
Love the pie!
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
My favorite family dinner would have to be posole. We have it every christmas eve with fresh tamales and it is sooo good.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Gosh, my favorite family dinner!? That's hard . My family is full of great cooks so I guess it has more to do with the atmosphere. So then I would have to go with Christmas eve dinner. 14 cousins plus 16 Aunts and Uncles all eating and drinking and being merry. Usually there's a goose (which doesn't hurt) and floating islands for desert. super yummm, it warms my heart just to think about it.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
ribs. lasagna. soup. anything my mom makes
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Our favorite comfort food is mapo tofu - spicy and warming - over rice with some sauteed greens. Something about one bowl foods you can hold in your hand do it for us...
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Pasta with meat sauce and bread!

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Boring but comforting - an overly stuffed tuna salad sandwich, on wonderful crusty rye bread, a slight smear of mayo, crisp iceberg lettuce, juicy tomato, cut in half please.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Irish Coddle. A big pot, almost stew but with not quite enough liquid, of potatoes, bacon, sausage and onion. Gets you fattened up for hibernation season.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
barbeque salmon and broccoli slaw, mom's favorite summer specialty
