Cook the Book: 'Bottega Favorita' by Frank Stitt
Spaghetti Carbonara, with homemade guanciale. Everything is better with face.
Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
The most memorable taco is the last good one I had, which was a lengua at my fave new joint in Waltham, MA, Tacos el Amigo. The bomb!
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
pizza, most definitely. I ate it with relish as a kid, and it was the first thing I learned to cook, also as a kid.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
Other than pizza, you mean? I guess it would have to be Spaghetti Alla Carbonara, with homemade guanciale.
Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'
The furthest/most exotic place I've been is the Ecuadorian Amazon, where food was not quite the most interesting thing on the menu, if you know what I mean. I did eat live ants and beetle grubs, neither of which I can really recommend. The fruits down there,however, mango, papaya, guanabana, etc. were the best I've ever eaten.
Cook the Book: 'On the Line'
Sushi or crudo, when the fish is FOB, can't be beat.

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.

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

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!
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
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.

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.
