Cook the Book: 'Bottega Favorita' by Frank Stitt

I love capellini tossed with unsalted butter, Beecher's Flagship cheese, freshly cracked black pepper, diced tomatoes, and shredded basil.

Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'

I make a really excellent cottage cheese-dill bread. It makes the best toast to have alongside a bowl of tomato soup.

Cook the Book: 'On the Line'

I love simple preparations for most seafood. My dad's barbecued salmon is absolutely to die for. He makes a brown sugar rub for it that is a closely-guarded family secret.

Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'

I was making sourdough starter one summer and we had a few moderately warm days followed by a temperature spike, then a return to more moderate temperatures. When I went to use my finished starter a few days later, I was about knocked over by the fumes because, instead of starter, I'd managed to make moonshine on my kitchen counter.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

When I was a kid, our elderly neighbors slaughtered a hog every fall and smoked the hams, hocks, and bacon in their cinderblock smokehouse out back. You could smell the meat smoking all over the neighborhood and it smelled so good that it would make you drool. Us kids always knew when they were bringing the meat down from hanging and we'd go beg for a piece.

Cream of Wheat: Way or No Way?

I love Cream of Wheat, but I've developed a preference for having it Indian-style with spices, hot peppers, and little bits of vegetables. It's sooo good.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

I grew up in the country and our neighbors would raise and slaughter their own pigs every year, then smoke the bacon and hams in a cinderblock smokehouse out back. The smell of the meat smoking on a cold late autumn day would make your mouth water and they'd always bring us some since that's what country neighbors do.
