full-on spread of mock meats at a buddhist restaurant in toronto. including a slab of deep-fried taro shaped like a fish! (needless to say, it did not taste like fish at all...)

do you not have natura brand in the US? it's by far the best 'white people' soy milk, as my asian mother would say.
Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking, Vol. 1'

Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'
as someone who hates olives and capers, and doesn't much like cured meats, tapas is always a rather miserable experience... except the wine. thank god for the wine.

president's choice makes a mean frozen thick+juicy bison burger.
Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
i'm afraid my only taco experiences have been of the old el paso type, but that doesn't make me love them any less!
Cook the Book: 'Ten'
intense morning craving for the perfect breakfast lead to a 4km jog through old montreal for an almond croissant, followed by another 1km to chinatown to get a cup of hk tea. then a loooong walk home.
I have a tub of pork floss. Now what?
make a pork floss and fried egg sandwich, but instead of bread, use green onion pancakes or sesame pancakes (if you can find them)
Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
introduced me to some amazing new grains, including quinoa and lentils
Your Oldest Cookbook?
my grandmother's finishing school textbook from the 1940s. it's got wonderfully quaint advice on daily menus and how to light a dining room perfectly.
Oral Surgery - What the heck do I eat?
i spent a week eating butternut squash soup after having my wisdom teeth out - i can't stand the sight of it now. i suggest you don't eat anything you plan to continue enjoying...

Cook the Book: 'The Great Wings Book'
there's no combination like friends and pizza.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Spaghetti with meatballs and chunks of Italian sausage in a smooth garlicky red sauce, caesar salad with homemade garlic croutons, warm crusty Italian bread with butter, a nice barolo, and lemon cheesecake for dessert.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
fajitas, hands down.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

Coming from a Turkish household, my favorite family dinner is mercimek çorbasi (lentil soup) with köfte (ground beef/meatball-like patties), domatesli pilav (tomato rice), and yogurt.

Favorite family dinner would have to be my childhood birthday meal of Earl Abel's fried chicken and black bottom pie.

Sauerbraten and homemade sides.

We called it "chicken and glop", but it was chicken and rice. How did my mother put up with us?
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
It depends on the weather for me, but at this time of year it's roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas (homegrown, please; frozen peas from the store are inevitably overripe), green salad, and pie.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
meatloaf and mashed potatoes!

My favorite family dinner would have to be posole. We have it every christmas eve with fresh tamales and it is sooo good.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Gosh, my favorite family dinner!? That's hard . My family is full of great cooks so I guess it has more to do with the atmosphere. So then I would have to go with Christmas eve dinner. 14 cousins plus 16 Aunts and Uncles all eating and drinking and being merry. Usually there's a goose (which doesn't hurt) and floating islands for desert. super yummm, it warms my heart just to think about it.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
ribs. lasagna. soup. anything my mom makes
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Our favorite comfort food is mapo tofu - spicy and warming - over rice with some sauteed greens. Something about one bowl foods you can hold in your hand do it for us...

Boring but comforting - an overly stuffed tuna salad sandwich, on wonderful crusty rye bread, a slight smear of mayo, crisp iceberg lettuce, juicy tomato, cut in half please.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Irish Coddle. A big pot, almost stew but with not quite enough liquid, of potatoes, bacon, sausage and onion. Gets you fattened up for hibernation season.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
barbeque salmon and broccoli slaw, mom's favorite summer specialty
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
One of my favorite family meals is banh xeo. They're savory, yellow crepes and having all sorts of people in my family through marriage, some being born in Vietnam, some being born here, etc., my mom gets a lot of different requests as to what to put in them. First she makes the vegetarian kind for those folks then regular Americanized ones then the hardcore ones.
