Cook the Book: 'Modern Spice'

Ethiopian. I've found great cookbooks, food blogs, and friends to help me learn about cuisines from much of the world, but Ethiopian food remains a lacuna.

Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'

In the fall: apple crumble.
In the winter: sour cherry pie (with cherries canned over the summer).
In the spring: strawberry rhubarb pie.
In the summer: peach crisp.

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'

I made a new taco memory today that will live on as one of my favorites: fish tacos and horchata, consumed with gusto (and lots of napkins) in the park in front of the Capitol building on a gorgeous sunny spring day here in Washington, DC.

Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy

roast lamb
fresh pasta with ricotta (both homemade) and herbs
home-grown tomatoes with sea salt and garden basil
homemade desserts (triple chocolate cake, strawberry-rhubarb pie, apple tort with almond brittle, buttermilk layer cakes with lemon curd)
in general: super simple, clean flavors with the freshest ingredients possible

Cook the Book: The River Cottage Cookbook

Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes! We'll also do an herb garden, with lots of basil and some chives, thyme, rosemary, sage, and mint.

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

I make stock from a roast chicken carcass as soon as dinner's done -- just toss it in a pot with veggies and let it cook away while we eat dessert and wash up. By the time the party's over and the ktichen's clean, the stock is ready to come off the heat and chill in the fridge. In the morning, I de-fat it and either put it back in the fridge or into the freezer.
