Besides Serious Eats, I like David Lebovitz and Chocolate & Zucchini!

I've had many great desserts so I'll just pick one of the most memorable that I had at Joyce Goldstein's now-closed Square One in San Francisco. It was a wonderful sampler of mini desserts. I loved being able to have a few bites of several different choices - heaven!

Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'
Not exotic but a sweet story...many years ago while visiting Rome, I was robbed and on my birthday to boot. At dinner, the waiter heard what happened from my dinner companions and presented us with an entire (gigantic) cake! He said it was to replace my bad memory with a good memory about Italy and the Italian people.

Blue-cheese stuffed olives, in a dirty vodka martini!

arbequina olives are my personal favorites - and not just because they're fun to say! as always, feta makes anything taste better and these two go great together
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I love ALL olives. The more the merrier. Kalamata, Black, Green, Nicoise bring it on! What a beautiful idea & a great opportunity! I would love to showcase this on my site!
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I too prefer olives in their oil iteration.

I'm not a fan of olives, but I do love olive oil!
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Kalamatas are amazing, but I'm a huge fan of the black Greek/Turkish ones, not sure of the name...
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Moroccan oil-cured are my favorite, the wrinkled ugly things.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Nicoise are definitely my favorite, but I'm a sucker for jalapeno-stuffed green olives too!
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
kalamatas are popular in my house too

Jalapeno stuffed green olive!

I actually don't love olives: I like tapenades and things, but am not a huge fan of eating olives by themselves.
...but I sure do love olive oil :)
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Yum! Warm mixed olives with fennel, orange zest and Anaheim chile. My favorite olive is the gaeta.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
My olive of the moment is garlic-stuffed green. Yum!

I have never meet an olive I didn't love. Since I am just back from Madrid, I will say arbequina olives with a nice red wine at an outdoor tapas bar.

Not really a huge fan of olives but olive oil is a wonderful thing.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I still remember the first time I had a kalamata olive. I was 13 years old, and my family had decided to picnic with some friends along a river. One person had brought along a bunch of kalamatas and was raving about them. I was eager to try one, but when I did, I thought they were awful. But after eating them at random intervals over the years, I've grown to love them; they're now my favorite :)

been craving saltiness lately and it's been satiated with the kalamata olives. :)

the little spanish arbequina olives, hands down.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I love olives! My favorite depends on my mood - sometimes cerignola, sometimes arbequina, sometimes picholines, sometimes nicoise, sometimes picual, sometimes manzanilla - give them all to me.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Oh, I love olives so very much. It's a toss-up between a buttery cerignola or the always delicious kalamatas...
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Never met an olive I didn't love. My current favorite is picholine. It will be something else next week...
