Mario - I haven't had good Italian at home in the 20 years since my grandmother passed.

Cook the Book: 'My Last Supper'

pasta with a sauce of diced tomatoes and crumbled hot Italian sausage. I'm not sharing, so I'll be eating alone ;)

Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'

Self-taught. Very little from Mom, Dad, or, unfortunatley, Italian Grandmother

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Elements of Cooking'

Passion.

If you don't want to create an excellent (or "just" good) meal, you can't, no matter how fresh the ingredients, how much knowledge you have, or how the dish is seasoned.

They are all good cooks, but my favorite is Paula Deen. Love her show. Thanks for the contest!

So many fun choices! I'd love to have Paula Dean come. (She reminds me so much of the lady I grew up next to, whom I remember fondly.) Hey, Paula, bring the boys too! Of course, I'd also love to have Alton Brown or Rachael Ray. Oh, and Tyler Florence! (Could I make it a party with all of them? grin!)

Bobby Flay has my vote hands down! I love his personality and he is a great chef. I don't think anyone else could handle a dinner party as well.

Send Paula over to my house! The food would be fantastic, the conversation devine! She is welcome to stay as long as she likes. Heck, I'd even consider adding on a mother-in-law apartment if she'd stay long enough. I love her Southern cooking and her bubbly personality. Oh, the "Boys" are welcome to come along for an extended stay, too! Thank you for the opportunity to win!

Send any of them; I'd love a fab meal I didn't have to cook myself! No, really, I'd like Bobby to whip up something unique on the grill; can't get over how many different dishes he prepares on it. And I wouldn't turn away Jamie or Giada.
