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...)

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.

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!

From Serious Eats

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)

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'

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.

Really anything, as long as it's accompanied by family and laughter. We often have shrimp scampi in the summer and a roast with Yorkshire Pudding in the winter....mmm.... :)

We called it "chicken and glop", but it was chicken and rice. How did my mother put up with us?

From Serious Eats

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.

My favorite family dinner would have to be posole. We have it every christmas eve with fresh tamales and it is sooo good.

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.

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...

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'

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.
