Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
I'm sort of ineligible for a lot of the extreme foods, as I'm vegetarian. Most extreme food I've eaten lately was an impulse purchase of durian in Chinatown. It actually wasn't as bad as I expected!

Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'
My favorite is a sweet and sour cabbage dish braised in the slow cooker--I toss in some meatless sausage with about an hour to go to make it a full meal.
Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer
Hmmmm....first encounter was at an Indian restaurant as a child, I imagine. I've been vegetarian since I was 10, and it is one of the most reliably vegetarian-friendly cuisines out there! In high school I remember being obsessed with samosas.
Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
Well, I haven't exactly baked that much, so I don't have good stories...yet. I guess my big success would be lemon biscotti--not particularly exciting, but they were one of the first things I made when I was about 12. This is a rough definition of baking, but one of the few things I've made and just thrown out was some granola that came out of the oven like oaty cement. It took about a week to get the pan clean.
Serious Heat: Where Do You Buy Your Spices?
I second World Spice Merchants. I first bought there in person on a trip to Seattle for business, and I looooove the store and the people there. Their chai mixes are also excellent.
Cook the Book: 'Modern Spice'
I'm actually on an Indian kick at the moment--visited some spice stores this weekend in a quest to get all my ingredients in order.
Served: Why Tipping Makes Everyone Uncomfortable
"A few people declared that they would never return to my restaurant if they were in my guests’ shoes. That’s fine by me. No restaurant likes to host bad tippers."
Except that the people you confronted weren't bad tippers; they made a math error.
I'm with the commenters on the previous post and the vast majority of the commenters above--you were rude.
Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
I've learned about keeping lots of staples in the pantry that allow me to create a tasty and healthy meal with very little advance preparation -- it doesn't take a trip to the market to make dinner!
Cook the Book: 'On the Line'
I don't! I'm vegetarian. But my fiance isn't, and I'd love to give this book to him! =)
Valentine's Day Giveaway: Macarons from Itzy Bitzy Patisserie
Oh man, I LOVE macarons. I wonder if there would be a way to have a marzipan filling without just completely overdosing on almond. Also salted caramel would be good....or chocolate and ginger.
Cook the Book: 'Osteria'
Does scotch count? hehe. I'll go with a spicy stew...perhaps curried. I made some curried cauliflower soup last week that was really good.
Top Chef Calendar Giveaway: What's Your Favorite Sugar-free Dessert?
There's a Top Chef calendar?!?!
And it's simple, but grilled fruit with a balsamic reduction.
Cook the Book: 'Into the Vietnamese Kitchen'
I actually didn't make any food resolutions on purpose. But I've definitely been generally working on cooking more and trying new types of cuisine on a non-resolution (and hopefully more permanent!) basis!
Cook the Book: Jamie at Home
Potato dishes of all sorts, but especially a baked kale and potato gratin.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Edible Chocolate Box from Charles Chocolates
Ooh, chocolate lava cake. Love that stuff.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Italian Snacks'
A crostini with goat cheese, walnuts, rosemary, and honey.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Wine Snob's Dictionary'
I had a sommelier once I guess go for "peepee du chat," but translate it as "reminiscent of kitty litter."
Cook the Book: 'Baked, New Frontiers in Baking'
Banana frozen yogurt, made with our stock of approaching overripe frozen bananas (my parents would slice them into sandwich bags and stick them in the freezer once they started to get mushy). And I still love it!
Cook the Book: 'Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics'
Mmmmm, potato casserole...thingie. I don't have a fancy name for it.

Lamb stew. Based on the comments above, however, lamb burgers might have the potential of being a new favorite if I can find the right recipe for preparing them well.

I really like lamb but have never cooked it. I love lamb chops with some garlic mashed potatoes. yummy. I would love to learn how to roast lamb for Gyros

I love grilled lamb burgers :)

Other than Gyros I haven't had much lamb. My husband is a big Lamb eater. I am slowly learning to appreciate it.

When I was young I ate my parasitic twin.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
On a business trip to the Philippines my local coworkers insisted on me trying the local delicacy of Balut(fetal duck egg). While this may sound like the most exotic i'd have to say that really it was later in the night when i ate some chicharon bulaklak which is deep fried and is apparently a fatty sack that covers the small intestine of a pig. It was actually quite good and definitely better than the balut.
