Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'
There's a sweet little tapas restaurant in Powell, OH called Maca. They serve a single spoonful of chocolate ganache sprinkled with sea salt , sitting in a puddle of olive oil. It's everything I ever wanted in one bite.

I taught myself. My dad hired me to cook for the family when I was 16 and my mother was too sick to cook.
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
I *love* The Art of Eating. What a gem. I got a subscription for my stepmother, and I think she didn't see the joy in it, however. I think she found it pretentious. I also get Cook's Illustrated and Cooking Light.

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.

fajitas, hands down.

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.

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.

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.
