Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Culinary Adventure Society

I was just in Paris last month for 2 days and was focussed on food 24/7. At one point, I was absolutely stuffed from my picnic of the best baguette and yummy cheese but insisted 3 minutes later on gorging myself on a fabulous crepe nutella. Best 2 days of my life. Also, the fattest.

Stella Doro

i don't have the recipe but I do have a Stella D'Oro presence in my life. I work in the Bronx and get off the subway (the 1) at W 231st street, right where the Stella D'Oro factory is. Every single morning it smells like cookies baking when you get off the subway. It is the most amazing thing every and has led to some emergency cookie purchases at 8:20 in the morning.

Your Typical Breakfast: Weekday and Weekend

oatmeal oatmeal oatmeal. I'm literally obsessed. every single morning during the week and weekend, not matter whether it's hot or cold out. I go to bed at night excited about waking up for it. always old fashioned, never ever instant.

I have 6 or 7 variations that I go through: walnut & apricot, peanut butter & apple butter, peanut butter & banana and on and on and on. love. it.

What is Pho?

i'm so obsessed with pho. i made a ridiculously easy vegetarian version that was amazing. i'm still dreaming about it.

Really good cooking/recipe blogs

i have to second (third? fourth?) smitten kitchen. I'm made several things off of her website and have loved everyone. and Deb's amazing (serious food porn here) don't hurt either.

What are you known for?

everytime i go to someone's house or to a party, i'm always expected to have a few different types of (homemade-duh!) cookies in my hands.

also, i'm well known for a lentil recipe that i developed when i lived in spain as an english teacher when i had no money-it's a really inexpensive but fantastic recipe.

About these things called "ramps"...

i bought my first bunch this past saturday and sauteed them in a little olive oil, salt and pepper. they were so delicious and simple. i think this method highlights the unique flavor and lets you enjoy their specialness. i'm now addicted!

Best Hangover Food?

i very much second a bowl of steaming pho. it's so amazing and certainly does the trick. slurp it down with some advil and lots of water, and you're all set.

Serious eats in Lisbon and Sevilla?

ed
i signed up for serious eats JUST so i could comment on this! I studied abroad in sevilla and then lived there for about a year after college.

The 2 best restaurants in the city probably are Egana Oriza by the university and Albahaca in Santa Cruz. For really good fried fish, Modesto is great. And a fun atmosphere. Tapas: anywhere that doesn't have a menu in english! Ha-my favorite is Las Columnas/Bodega Santa Cruz on Mateos Gago by the Catedral. It is on a strip full of touristy places, but this place is authentic, cheap and delicious, full of old spanish men. They have fantastic montaditos (little sandwiches). I also like Rincon del Pulpo Gallego on C. Harinas in the Arenal, Levies in Santa Cruz, Casa Robles in the Center.

And Susquehanna is so right: la Campana has the best late afternoon sweets and cakes. Delish!

If I think of any others, I'll post again.
