Your favorite hot cocoa recipe
With winter approaching, I have an urge to get the perfect cup of hot cocoa. Swiss Miss won't cut it. I want something with real chocolate flavor and creamy texture. What's your recipe?

Cook the Book: New South Grilling
My dad isn't a cook by any stretch. But I grew up practically living off of his iced tea. I still can't make it like he does.
Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'
A year or so out of culinary school, I realized that I had never actually roasted a whole chicken. I pulled out the Bouchon recipe and the end result was perfection. In fact, I might suggest that there is no happier moment in a kitchen than pulling a perfect roast chicken out of the oven.
Minneapolis eating advice
Business dinner, try Restaurant Alma. The chef (Alex Roberts) was nominated for a James Beard award this year and puts out some incredible food, but in a casual atmosphere.
Unfortunately, I don't really have much for first-hand breakfast recommendations.
Cook the Book: 'The Bacon Cookbook'
Heston Blumenthal's bacon-and-egg ice cream blew my mind! Loved it!
Cook the Book: Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges
Actually, one of JGV's noddle dishes: shrimp with garlic, chile and star anise.

Cook the Book: New South Grilling
My dad makes the most amazing preserved vegetables. My grandmother taught him and its a family secret. He won't even tell my mom and my mom has to BEG him to make it. He keeps it in a jar for a few days for the best flavor, but my sister and I would sneak bites that by the time it's supposed to be ready, it's half eaten. It has chinese cabbages, cucumbers, baby onions, and carrots. It sweet, crunchy, sour, spicy (like kimchi! but not red), and salty. The mouth is confused at first, but the stomach is always happy. (I miss my dad!).

It is sorta strange, but IBC rootbeer always reminds me of my dad. As a treat to us kids, once in a while he would stop at the grocery store after work and buy IBC root beer and Vanilla ice cream as a treat for us kids (root beer floats)

My dad loves cabbage rolls. His grandmother used to make them, and the recipe came from the "Old Country".
