Cook the Book: 'Plenty'

scarpetta's spaghetti with tomato & basil. transforming simple ingredients, combined with a total respect for the process, into something this special is for me as innovative as it gets.

Enter to Win a Copy of the 'Alinea' Cookbook

not necessarily molecular-gastronomy-kind-of-experimental cooking, but more the adventurous-what-if-i-combine-this-to-this-type cooking, i recently decided to make a hybrid of a chiffon cake and flan into cupcake form. i've also roasted bone marrow to add a layer of meaty unctuousness to sandwiches and pizza.

Top 10 Improbable McDonald's Items from Around the World

Chicken Maharaja Mac and (a surprisingly tasty!) Veggie Burger in India.

I also remember some kind of paprika-flavored potato wedges (dipped in mayo) in France.

Aside from the spaghetti, they also have fried chicken and the occasional beef teriyaki with rice in the Philippines.

Food souvenirs from India?

@LadyMarmalade
Yes, definitely bringing back a tiffin or two! I'm pretty excited to see how the dabbawallas maneuver a bunch of tiffins/dabbas aound town in person! Also, I haven't had any problems bringing food items back from our recent trips around Europe and Asia, so hopefully (knocks on wood) we'll have the same luck this time around.

@browntown
Thank you so much for the tips! I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for those food items since they all sound fantastic. I also just finished reading Chitrita Banerji's "Eating India". I'm really looking forward to tasting each region's specialties and the wide variety of cuisines across the country. I can't wait!

Food souvenirs from India?

Thanks for the tip, Madelyn! I was actually planning of buying some prayer beads for some friends and I think they might like the rudrashka necklaces as well! Also, I love cumin and I hope eating there would only reinforce my fondness for it ;)
