Serious Eats: browncm's Profile

I'm working towards making bread and jamming and pickling... but I grinded lamb last night and made delicious lamb meatballs and homemade tzaziki and hummus. It was so good.

Cook the Book: 'The Glorious Pasta of Italy'

Any pasta at Spinasse in Seattle. But I did just make a wonderful whole wheat pasta, tossed with sauteed kale, garlic, parm & lemon.

Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking Volume No. 6'

Growing up, my parents worked several jobs; most of them swing shift or graveyard. We were a family of night owls. I loved the nights when Dad would take me grocery shopping, just the two of us. The aisles were quiet and empty, so we were able to play catch with the food: Dad would toss a can or some apples and I'd catch and put in the cart. Then we'd guess how much the total would be at the end. It was fun.

Cook the Book: 'Tender: A Cook and His Vegetable Patch'

Spring has finally arrived up here in the PNW and I just planted my very first vegetable and herb garden... we'll see if I get to eat any salads this summer!

Cook the Book: 'Serve Yourself'

Anything I want! That's the beauty of it. It's usually something like egg and cheese on toast, cold leftover chinese food from the box, a spoonful of ice cream direct from the tub, or a giant steak with or without a arugula/mozzerella salad on the side.

Cook the Book: 'Plenty'

white bean 'cassoulet' served atop broiled portobello mushroom, topped with sauteed broccoli rabe. It wasn't near the complex, smoky flavour of a true cassoulet, but it was very tasty.

What time do you eat dinner ?

Growing up, dinner had to be on the table at 6PM every day. Dad's rules. I would like to eat dinner at that time, but with work and getting to the gym after (on the good days), the boy and I usually eat a tiny workout snack at 530 and a small dinner at 8, accompanied by a much needed nightcap. Dessert is saved for the weekends and we always eat breakfast and lunch.

Cook the Book: 'Rose's Heavenly Cakes'

My friend makes this amazing "fauxstess" hoho chocolate cake almost every year for a birthday. It is to die for! (And if you ate the whole thing, you probably would.)
