Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate
Alice Medrich's cocoa nib ice cream was a revelation for me. I never knew that such a delicate chocolate flavor could have such an impact.
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
Biggest baking disaster might have been a brick-like loaf of brioche that never seemed to come together but that I crossed my finger and baked anyway. All that butter, all those eggs, utterly ruined. I have since made lovely loaves of brioche, but that first one was a sad, sad thing.

Cook the Book: 'A16 Food + Wine'
I don't remember the name, it was a bottle we were given to replace a nice one that my roommates had drank not realizing that we were saving it for a special occasion. While not the traditional champagne, that bottle of red whatever-it-was that we drank one New Years Eve is still the best glass of wine I've ever had.
Cook the Book: The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper
Judy Rodgers. How did you learn to write so clearly about technique?
Cook the Book: Nigella Express
Having a well-stocked pantry might be my biggest time saver. Knowing that I have rice or couscous and canned beans or dried lentils and a good variety of dried herbs and spices that can be ready in a half hour or less is nice when I don't want to fuss or make a trip to the grocery store.
Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway
I'm a fan of my mother's easter challah.
Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'
I learned the basics from my mother, but when I was ready for more complicated cooking I turned to books and now the internets.

My favorite is simple, comforting brownies.

Best Vegetarian Blogs?
Some good ones have already been mentioned.
Orangette, while not strictly vegetarian, has plenty of vegetarian mains.
Albion Cooks is vegetarian and has links to a number of other vegetarian blogs.
And my blog, Blossom to Stem, is vegetarian (though sadly, not updated quite as often as it should be...)
Cook the Book: Sesame Coins
Errr, I'm guessing that the instruction to preheat the oven to 125 degrees F is a typo. But should it be 325 or 425?
Cook the Book: 'Pure Dessert'
My favorite dessert is a brown butter almond torte with plums (or really just about any fruit). Though Medrich's brownies are the thing for any chocolate mood.
Mario Unclogged: Spaghetti al Pomodoro
Tomatoes are, sadly, starting to disappear from Chicago farmers markets. (Farmers from down state and Indiana seem to be almost out, farmers from Michigan and Wisconsin are still bringing them to the stalls but even they are advising people to use them quickly). I have a few Rose de Bernes and a Cherokee Purple that I'm hoping will hang on until tomorrow night for panzanella.
Still, I love utterly simple, utterly delicious recipes like this that show off seasonal produce at its best.

I just created a blog, it is at www.nosaladforme.com. My blog is about helping out new vegetarians and sharing QUICK and EASY vegetarian recipes, most of the recipes I post will only have a few ingredients so that you can make them without having to run to the grocery store every night. I plan on listing many recipes along with my blog. I only have one entry up right now, but expect to see something new weekly!

Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'
I had already commented and was reading some of the others when I remembered another favorite of mine. I don't know if any of you will have tried it, but I love "Wojapi". It's a traditional Sioux kind-of a fruit pudding. In the old days they used to use dried berries, especially chokecherries, but now we make it with fresh or frozen berries, any kind. I love to make it and everyone loves to eat it!
Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'
I love my mom's rhubarb crisp! It's my absolute favorite dessert.

I just love a cobbler! It would be hard to pick a favorite, though it would probably be a struggle between Blackberry and Peach! i've never had it before, but Strawberry Cobbler would be to die for!
