I hope to win this gift pack my good friend who turned me onto sriracha for life. My recent favorite use for the rooster sauce is to put into pho which I eat once a week. I can't eat it without it now. Addicted!
the oyster and sausage stuffing all the way. i like it as a dressing so it cooks separately and gets all crispy. and don't mind me if i add a tiny bit of cranberry sauce to it as well!
The most memorable Italian meal I have ever had was actually at Mozza - it is a tie between the Pizzeria and Osteria. The pizza was revelatory. That crust!! And at the Osteria, I fell in love with long-cooked broccoli. I never knew that cooking it so long could make it so luxurious. And I first tasted octopus at the restaurants 3 years ago and have been hooked ever since!!
So excited that Gwyneth put aside any criticism and went for it with the cookbook. I would love to see one from Jake Gyllenhaal. I know he is a big supporter of the Slow Food Movement. I've read he loves to cook - would be fun to see what he came up with!
I traveled from Los Angeles to Phoenix in December to eat at Pizzeria Bianco!
For me, it's HUCKLEBERRY in Santa Monica. Zoe Nathan, pastry chef and owner, turns out beautiful, hearty pastries daily. The cafe menu is ever changing but never too much that you will be disappointed that some of your favorites aren't available. The staff are always so lovely and happy to be working there. I love that they have special nights for fried chicken, tacos or her dad's pancakes. Such a great neighborhood spot!!
Cioppino and Bouillabaise are my all-time favorite soups (and one of my favorite foods for that matter). I have traveled all over the greater Los Angeles area to find the best ones. The last memorable one I had was at CHURCH & STATE in downtown. Sadly, I've only had the pleasure of eating it once but hope to have it again soon!
There are so many but what is calling me now is mom's pot roast, mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheese sauce. I am lucky to have had a mom who cooked so many wonderful, thoughtful meals growing up. YUM! I would love to win this so I can begin to start cooking some of my own.
I am visiting NY this December and not a day goes by that I don't research where to eat. It's so overwhelming. This book would be sooo helpful! I know I am definitely looking forward to hitting RUSS & DAUGHTERS and DOUGHNUT PLANT!!
McGrath Farms at the Santa Monica Farmers Market!! Great produce. I feel good supporting them
Blueberry or Sour Cherry Pie - toss up!
Jam is a must. Sometimes I'll add cottage cheese on top of the jam to get my protein an calcium in!
i haven't had the pleasure of visiting witchcraft but i would like to try tom's take on the cuban sandwich. no deli ham in his i am sure!
I make spaghetti and meatballs with the meatballs made out of tuna instead of red meat. Still delicious!
I thought cream cheese and jam was normal? I can't have a bagel with cream cheese WITHOUT jam. My healthier version is whole wheat toast with jam and cottage cheese on top for breakfast a few days a week. I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life. Am I alone here?
Turkey meatballs lately!
Kale and white bean soup!
Simple brownies. Mark Bittman is the best!
this looks delicious! i like you am always looking at heavy recipes thinking how i can tweak them to be healthier. thank you for the post. adding this to my list of recipes to try
cheese plate with some fresh fruit, nuts and bread. always gets gobbled up!
Lemon bars!
Barefood's Tomato Basil Soup!
my favorite to eat is chocolate chip. my favorite to bake are these lemon ricotta ones with lemon glaze i found in a magazine. favorite to bake because i always get raves about them!
I am visiting Seattle for the first time Memorial Day weekend. Any tips for can't miss places for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I LOVE seafood but my traveling companion doesn't eat it at all so ALL seafood restaurants are sadly out. Thank you!

Black with a bit of sugar. At home, I use a french press. If I go to a proper coffee shop, I go for a pour over cup.
