Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'
I love profiteroles with ice cream and hot fudge!
Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer
When I was about 14, I was invited to dinner by an Indian woman who lived in my apartment building with whom I had become friendly. It was my very first experience with Indian food. I don't remember what area of India she was from, but the food was so incredibly spicy I could barely eat it.
Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking, Vol. 1'

Cook the Book: 'Serious Barbecue' by Adam Perry Lang
My greatest grilling success came when I finally read the directions (I know, duh...) for the proper use of my Weber Kettle. I had had a total of zero experience using a grill and as a result my grilled chicken was coming out charred on the outside and raw on the inside. Once I "got" it, my marinated grilled chicken became a work-of-art - and my friends stopped avoiding my dinner invitations.
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
My grandmothers Sabbath dinner on Friday nights.
Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'
I'm not sure if this is exactly funny, but when I first started grilling, I didn't really know what I was doing. As a result, a number of guests were served chicken that was not totally cooked through. I was mortified... But when I look back on it, it seems sort of amusing - from a distance.

I was at a company plant in Thomasville, GA years ago, and we had a working lunch planned because we had so much to do. The folks at the plant brought in barbeque so good that we didn't get any work done over lunch, we just talked food.
