Ed, please be a darling and see if you can post Chef Lida's delicious holiday recipes for the butternut squash tiramisu and the cranberry-quince chutney. Our appetites are peaked and we are awaiting instructions, seriously......I'd even consider growing my own quince trees if this recipe for cranberry-quince chutney is a winner with our families.

Onions and garlic are a toss up for most often used, as both are mealtime favorites in my cooking. Alas, wilting lettuce greens meet their end in my fridge's veggie bin most often.

Lidia Bastianich's Cranberry-Quince Chutney
In your debt, this wonderful sounding chutney is destined to grace our winter holiday meals soon. I will plan on ordering quince trees early this spring to add to our garden to ensure a future supply of quince. Not having a supply of local quince has kept me from using them for too many years.Thanking you and the busy recipe assistants for this follow-up recipe posting.

mopnglow,
trying to get a recipe from Lidia is like trying to get blood from a turnip. She is not too forthcoming and willing to share her recipes . I used to see her a lot on PBS . For most of the cooks that make recipes on thier PBS program they are available if you go on line but not her. She will not share any ingredient measurements, but refers you to her website. You then think you will find the recipe there but instead she wants to sell you her books. And you won't get a recipe unless you buy the book it is in. I for one think that just stinks. I don't know why foodtv has her on when she can't share all the recipes. We watch to learn and get new recipes, and if you can't get them then there is no reason to watch. So when she comes on now I watch something else or switch channels till she if off, I have just plain disgust for her. I think she is greedy, trying to make a buck at every turn.
I am very pleased that we are able to get the recipes that are on foodtv. I could start a library with all thier recipes that I have printed off.Foodtv has become an addiction. Well , that's better than drugs or alcohol, etc.,
I have enjoyed all the Thanksgiving recipes today , and will incorporate some of the recipes and tips and ideas in my thanksgiving dinner, and after that day. I'm am also having game night at my house 2 days later and I will also use some of the recipes for that meal and for appetizers using my leftovers. I have printed off many from today.

We've posted the Cranberry-Quince Chutney and the Squash Tiramisù recipes—enjoy!
Celebrity Chef Holidays: Lidia Bastianich
Thanks! I would like to know when the recipes will be posted. I will be cooking the Thanksgiving dinner with my family. I would like to compose the menu and make sure everything's organized. If you could post the recipes sooner, that would be extremely helpful and appreciated. I dreamed about Butternut Squash Tiramisu for two nights already. :)
Celebrity Chef Holidays: Lidia Bastianich
Thanks in advance - I can't wait! I make tiramisu every Christmas, sometimes Thanksgiving, for my Italian family, but I woudl love a butternut squash twist. A google search landed me empty handed.

Lidia's assistant just sent us those very recipes. We'll try to get them up tomorrow.

I think I add my homegrown/dried oregano to about everything I cook if I can....what has seemed to go bad most often is my hi-glueten flour. They only sell it at the bulk store (50lbs)...

I use onions a lot. More than I ever thought I would. Fresh parsley always goes bad on me. I tried to buy a plant, but that went bad too.
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I use garlic and EVOO the most. I always end up tossing bagged lettuce and/or tomatoes before I get the chance to use it all.
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I use salt. My eggs go bad.
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I use alot of garlic in my dishes. Bagged lettuce always seems to go bad before we eat it all. Thanks!

Onions, we use them alot. Buttermilk always seems to get tossed. My husband makes the ranch dressing mix with it and there is always some left that never gets used.
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
celery always goes bad on me before I can use it up, I use a lot of seasoning salt as a spice on meats and potatoes
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I use garlic with everything. Somehow I always forget about the potatoes though! buy more and use the new ones and forget about the ones I already had
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
Garlic I use constantly
Bell pepper never gets used up
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
i cannot cook without salt and pepper :)
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I use garlic in most of my entree recipes. Sweet or hot peppers spoil in my produce drawer if I do not use them right away. Taught never to waste food, I feel very guilty about anything that goes in the compost bucket without being used to some extent.

I use olive oil the most but vegetables seem to go based if you don't use them right away.
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I use garlic alot. As for what goes bad - here are several candidates, but I'd have to say basil is the worst. I can only get it in bunches at least 5 times what I need, and rarely use it. And it goes bad so quickly! (My runner up is celery, turning icky in the vegetable keeper.)
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I use wine in many of my recipes. Usually produce always goes bad before I get a chance to use it
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I always buy lettuce to put on sandwiches but it usually turns brown and goes limp before I have a chance to use it.
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I use garlic most frequently. Coconut milk is the ingredient that seems to go bad before I can use all of it.
Cook the Book: 'Second Helpings of Roast Chicken'
I use tomato sauce most often. Bananas seem to go bad always before I can use them. garrettsambo@aol.com

I like salsa on my eggs.
