Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
Besides Serious Eats, I like David Lebovitz and Chocolate & Zucchini!
Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
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.

Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
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...
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Yes, I'm boring, but I'll pop kalamata after kalamata in my mouth just like candy (but picholines are nice too, and Gaetas... )

young, fat, green cerignolas. and sadly those gross pimento stuffed ones in the grocery store

Kalamata but not in brine--must be oil cured

Kalamata or black cerignola or regular green pimento-stuffed, or garlic stuffed...
