A big pot of my great grandmother's "sugu" (Italian meat sauce).
Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
Southern Pecan Cake...a recipe I got from an advertisement page in an old Cooking Light magazine...go figure. Tastes just like Maple Donuts!
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
I'm going to have to say the early 1970's version of "Dinner for Two" (not sure that I was born when it was actually published) that I stole from my Mom. I still don't think she knows it's missing...

Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
Salty...and delicious when crispy and slightly overcooked.
Cook the Book: 'Dishing Up Vermont'
Definitely any kind of salad made with fresh ingredients...there is always something wonderful at the Farmers' Market year round.
Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'
Alfajores...when I was in BA, every cafe con leche would come with a few of these treats.
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
An egg and toast...cooked in some way: an omelette with gruyere and mushrooms, fried with feta and paprika, or scrambled with cheddar and salsa.
Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'
Tintos Tapas in Los Angeles...the best, authentic tapas anywhere outside of Spain.
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Pancake Mountain
I love the lemon ricotta pancakes they serve at the cafe in my neighborhood, but if I make them at home, I like the standard buttermilk variety with butter and maple syrup.
Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'
I live in L.A., and my favorite is the French guy with the refrigerated cheese truck at the Larchmont market!
Cook the Book: 'Modern Spice'
Spanish would be nice!
Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us: The Thanksgiving Special
If you like the deep-fried pumpkin cake idea, then you definitely missed the episode with the even better wonton wrapped, chocolate stuffed, sugar dusted, deep fried white chocolate cheesecake...
Cook the Book: 'Martha Stewart's Cooking School'
In one of her Christmas cookie magazine editions, there is an amazing recipe for Nutella thumbprint cookies...I make them every year and everyone always loves them!
Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey Here!
The Potato Gratin with Porcini Mushrooms and Mascarpone Cheese sounds amazing. Seems to me that Barbara Fairchild likes her gratins!
Cook the Book: 'Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics'
During the holidays, homemade cranberry sauce for sure.
Cook the Book: 'The Sweeter Side of Amy's Bread'
Hands down...bizcochitos! A New Mexican shortbread cookie made with Anise and coffee Liqueur.
Cook the Book: 'Giada's Kitchen'
The simple Sicilian sauce recipe that my great-grandmother brought to the U.S. with her at the turn of the century. Onions, garlic, oil, tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and some sort of meat to help flavor the sauce...mmmmmm....
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
Absolutely don't accidently substitute unsweetened chocolate for bittersweet...nasty!
Cook the Book: 'Olives and Oranges'
I'm a sucker for tortilla chips, but if I'm being healthy, I love a good crunchy apple.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Saucier's Apprentice'
The white chocolate layer cake I made when I was 22 for my then boyfriend's birthday. Let's just say that the icing acted as the mortar, and if I had made many more layers, I could have built a wall.
Cook the Book: 'A Platter of Figs'
I'm going to have to say pumpkins...homemade pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. I think it's just the association with the season and the crispness in the air. And smelling all of the warm spices that go into most pumpkin recipes...yum!
Cook the Book: 'A16 Food + Wine'
So far, 2005 Koehler Granache from Santa Barbara...amazing!

Cook the Book: 'How to Roast a Lamb'
I'm an Aussie who misses weekly Sunday lamb roasts (so much more expensive over here and more of a hunt to get the right quality). However, when I do cook up a lamb roast I am 100% for simplicity - garlic and rosemary and lots of roasted veggies in the same pan to absorb the juices. I also like some simple jus or gravy from the juices at the end.
Cook the Book: 'How to Roast a Lamb'
I used to make candied ginger and use the syrup for ginger ale. Then we made ground lamb patties with chopped candied ginger and mint leaves mixed in one night. Mmm...gotta do that again.
