Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy

To impress, I try to keep things simple so that i keep my wits. An example would be a protein that I think Mark Bittman published in the New York Times. The key is to sear pieces of salmon two minutes per side, then set them on a baking sheet. Then mix equal portions of dry Coleman's mustard, water and sugar together (you can go a bit lighter on the water to make it less runny). Then slather the fish with the glaze and bake at 250 for 20 minutes. Pair the fish with sauteed green beans or broccoli with garlic. Then I cork some white wine and enjoy an impressive, yet simply delicious and easy, meal for company.

By the way, I love Lidia's PBS show. Would love the chance to try her recipes.

This recipe is also fantastic when using ground lamb in place of the veal (if you're squeamish about the treatment of the animal or just like the taste of lamb).

The Best Pies in America: The Serious Eats Pie Honor Roll

Hi, Ed,

Just reading some of past entries on here and was excited to see an entry on pies. One place to add to your list should have the opportunity to visit Round Top, Texas (a small Antique-festival community about 1.5 hours from Austin): Royer's Round Top Cafe. A finer slice of strawberry-rhubarb pie I have never had. Their bacon-wrapped, shrimp-stuffed quail also leave an impression.

Hope ya enjoyed the 3D U2 movie. Was quite an effect to witness a concert video like that.

Essentials: Spaghetti and Meatballs

I have been making Ina's Spaghetti & Meatballs for a few years and there is nothing better. Personally, if you really watch Ina, she is very percise on every measurement and very matter of fact of how she cooks. She wants it to taste perfect. I have read where she will make the same recipe 20-30 times a day until she gets it right. Do you really think the Yummo woman does that??? I think not!!! Ina takes her cooking very serious and I think she is one of the best stars the FoodNetwork has.
