Book Giveaway: Mike Colameco's Food Lover's Guide to NYC
I know it's a tourist trap but when I'm in NY .....I always have a ball at ROXIE'S DELI . It's hectic ....but good .
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Baking
Pumpkin muffins from Dunkin' Donuts ......YUM !!!! Their pumpkin donuts aren't bad either .....or the pumpkin bagel ...or the pumpkin coffee ........
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
Don't recall the name but my mother collected these various small cookbooks , each dedicated to a specific food catagory ..... veggies , stews , meats , special dinners etc. Then they were all bound together in this HUGE 3 -ring binder .....and it made for a 10 lb. cookbook . I was enamored of the thing and she gave it to me when I married . Either that ...or she couldn't lift it anymore .

Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
Worst disaster was my mother's .......As a new bride she decided to make a meat & veggie pie for dinner . She made a perfect crust , savory sauce and fresh veggies . It looked and smelled wonderful ......till Dad took a bite . NO MEAT ! The meat was still in the fridge ....uncooked . Like all new brides would .....she ran into the bedroom crying .
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
From a lovely country restaurant in R.I. ......it was a fillet mignon burger . Ground-up until almost pate fillet mignon .....cooked medium ....it almost melted in your mouth . Topped with a sprinkle of blue-cheese and on a brioche bun .....OMG ! I've never tasted better .

Coming home from school and being greeted by the scent of my mother's freshly baked peanut butter muffins . They were big, moist , peanut -buttery and you could smell them before you saw them . Terrific !

Cook the Book: 'Serious Barbecue' by Adam Perry Lang
There is nothing tastier than a grilled burger . And the smell ........aaahhhh.. brings them running .
Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
One night , after getting some tacos from TACO BELL ( I KNOW ...I KNOW ) , I plunked myself down in front of the " boob tube " to enjoy my snack . While watching my program a " news flash " interupted with this .............COCAINE FOUND IN TACOS AT LOCAL TACO BELL ! With my mouth full of possible illicit drugs , I dug thru the rest of my food looking for white powder . With none found , and hating waste ( apparently more than an OD ) , I finished the rest of my food . Looking back ........KINDA STUPID !
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
My mother's home-made peanut butter muffins . They were HUGE ! Plus the aroma hit you in the face as soon as you opened the door . They were very moist , very soft , very peanut-buttery and drop-dead delicious . Try as I might ....I've never been able to duplicate them . They made coming home from school .....a beautiful memory .
Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'
Worst grilling experience .......the charcoal brickets that wouldn't light up ! EVER ! NO MATTER WHAT WE DID ! We ended up eating cold cuts .
Cook the Book: ''Wichcraft'
sliced roasted chicken , thick smoked bacon , crisp lettuce and honey mustard on fresh baked country white bread ............yum !
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
Sometimes , instead of a spagetti sauce on my pasta , I'll make a sauce using a beef broth and some crushed tomatoes . It tastes meaty and lightly tomatoey and just plain good .
Cook the Book: 'Ten'
When my mother was expecting , many years ago , she had a wicked craving for chow mein . Not so bad .... except it was 3:00 am. .... and there was a snow storm raging outside . Well , she woke my father and told him that she HAD to have some chow mein . After screaming about the time and the weather ....he got out of bed , dressed and went off on his quest . Amazingly , an hour later , he was back with a small order of chow mein . Mom took one forkfull ....ate it with GREAT relish ....and declared she was FULL ! You can imagine the resulting conversation . My Dad told this story till the end of his days .....and we " kids " loved it .
Cook the Book: 'Ten'
The strongest craving I've ever had was for "my own " spagetti & meatsauce . Seemed NO ONE in my family had felt like having my favorite meal for awhile . Desperate , one night while everyone slept , I got up and made a BIG pan full . So there I sat , 1:30 in the AM , chowing down at the dinner table , full plate of spagetti , reading the paper and thoroughly enjoying my gluttony . I SLEPT LIKE I WAS DEAD !!!! Was it worth it .............OH YEAH !!!!!
Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
