Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy

Oysters Rockefeller, Rack of Lamb, Polenta Gorgonzola, Smoked Whitefish Spread, Grilled FRESH Alaskan Halibut and if I'm feeling really (reallly!) flush, Wild Mushroom and Truffle Creme Brulee (it's divine!)

For more casual, I'll make Pho, deluxe Tortilla Soup with Chicken Tostadas, or a VERY deluxe Italian/Greek Wedding soup (with lamb meatballs, spinach, zucchini, wild mushrooms, and achini de pepe) maybe a Greek Salad...

For breakfast either Wild Blueberry French Toast or Hangtown Fry. Now please don't even get me started on all the wonderful Pasta and Risotto choices... I also watch Lidia on PBS and have learned a lot from her!

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

Maintain our own herb garden - very convenient and saves a ton of money! I also like to roast garlic in oil. It keeps in the fridge for weeks - and then you have both: sweet caramelized garlic and garlic oil. And finally, I always "marinate" chicken in buttermilk for 6 to 24 hours (in fridge) it makes the chicken remarkably tender and juicy and even "plumps" it.!

Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway

As a "chocolaholic" I love chocolate "eggs" - but I also look forward to our traditional Rack of Lamb, Rutabega, and Asparagus. Can't wait!

Cook the Book: 'My Last Supper'

The "meal" would be quite eclectic - but would definitely include jumbo king crab legs, a variety of very fresh oysters, a steaming bowl of Pho, a platter of buttery roasted asparagus, wild mushroom risotto, a rack of lamb. filet mignon, grilled Alaskan halibut, linguine with clam sauce, a Cobb salad, authentic tacos with guacamole, blueberry pie, lots of chocolate and of course, Champagne and Beaujolais. I'd want my Mom, sister and her hubby, my "love of my life" husband to join the celebration and my Dad would be there in spirit. And I hope I have enough time left to think of all the yummy things I've forgotten here... By the way, could the last meal please be at least a week long?

Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'

We were volunteering at a Soup Kitchen and had to cook 24 chickens. The guy delivering the chickens was late and we were feeling frantic (our patrons would be arriving and hungry in just a few hours.) When Bob finally showed up with the birds we were such wrecks that we forgot to take that plastic bag of giblets and organ parts out of the chicken before cooking them (in very hot ovens) - They turned out OK - but it was kind of gross taking all those bags out after the fact!

Valentine's Day Chocolate Giveaway

My husband is a Charles/Chuck too and I'd to give this to him for Valentine's Day. We love ALL chocolate - but have a special soft spot for the bittersweet dark. Still we've never said "no" to any chocolate!

Valentine's Day Chocolate Giveaway

Unquestionably dark chocolate (though as a child I couldn't get enough of milk chocolate.) My husband's name is Charles (aka Chuck - but I can understand that not being the best name for Chocolates - only okay if your business is seeling ground beef products!)
