Bake the Book: Home Made Summer

fruit fruit fruit! Porter Peaches are especially wonderful this time in Oklahoma.

Looking for Tulsa, OK People

@curunir Stonehorse is consistent. I haven't been to the Tavern but I've looked at the menu....hasn't thrilled me. I ate at the alley a few days ago and enjoyed it! I'm surprised more people haven't commented! Antoinette's on Brookside is pretty new and I've really enjoyed their pies! Friday and Saturday night pie night from 7-10.

Richard Blais's Smoked Caesar Salad

I would looooove to win a copy!

Help! My roommate wrecked my bakeware!

Dawn Power Dissolver is my best friend.....you have to let it sit on the nasty gunk for 30 minutes but it comes off pretty easily. Bar Keepers Friend with steel wool will also probably work.

smoked short ribs. delicious!

The Vegan Experience: Why Does Everyone Assume Vegans Are Health Nuts?

I LOVE this article because I share the same frustration! I am not vegan, but it seems like most of the people I know assume Vegan = Healthy. Maybe it's because they don't quite understand how many vegan options there are, and think all you can it are fruit, vegetables, and some bread. I work at a primarily vegetarian/vegan cafe and we have vegan desserts. Many people assume these desserts are healthy.

DIY Chocolate Liqueur

I made this, I strained through layers of cheesecloth rather than a coffee filter. There are no visible particles. Should I still strain through a coffee filter?

This slideshow made my day

Weight loss recipes and techniques much appreciated

If you guys feel a little lost about this, you should make an appointment with a registered dietitian. Your doctor will most likely be able to refer one to you and it might even be covered by insurance. A dietitian can help you with portion control, recipe ideas, books/websites for ideas....

Sour Beer Recommendations

Thanks, everyone!

Thanksgiving Breakfast Ideas

This awesome pumpkin granola was recently posted to the site: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/10/healthy-pumpkin-granola-recipe.html you could make it ahead of time and have it to serve with yogurt or milk. You probably don't need much else than what you have as people will not want to fill up by 2:30.

Bake the Book: Vintage Cakes

My favorite cake is white wedding cake.

Overloaded pomegranate tree...

Cook the Book: 'True Blood'

Take a Hot Dog Tour of West Virginia

You guys need to go to Tulsa, OK and go to a Coney Islander.

Ruby's Bones

This is great! Thanks for posting!

Chai tea latte powder recommendations?

I find the Tazo Chai concentrate that Starbucks uses is actually sold in Starbucks! You can also find it at Whole Foods..... Oregon Trail concentrate is decent as well and can be found at Whole Foods. If you have a Trader Joes, they have a decent powdered chai....it is quite sweet but it's cheap!

Serious Reads: Watching What We Eat, by Kathleen Collins

Interesting! I'll definitely have to add this to my list.

Looking for Tulsa, OK People

I've never thought the food scene here in Tulsa is all that great. We have a few interesting places but never have I seen anything posted on this site about Tulsa. I'm just looking to the Tulsa SE Community to see where you like to eat and drink! I'm not thrilled on any restaurants, but here are some of my favorite places: Valkyrie, Vintage 1740, Dust Bowl, and Glacier Confections for incredible chocolate.

QUICK! where to eat in DC!

Going to the ole Capitol and I would love some suggestions to eat. Reservations have already been made for dinner but I would love some great breakfast and lunch places. From hole in the wall to upscale. Leaving tomorrow!

Where to eat in Wilmington, NC

I've lived in Wilmington for 4 years, attending UNCW. I'm curious as to which restaurants people like the most. Any suggestions? I'd like to see what I'm missing out on! There doesn't seem to be much of a food scene here.
Manna, Deluxe, Surf House, and S. College Sandwiches are some of my favorites.

TAMPA RECAP

I had asked for restaurants in Tampa for my parents....and of the suggestions given, they went to The Refinery and Bologna. Thank you @finsbigfan and @imwalkin for some wonderful suggestions! I was texted many photos throughout both meals and became incredibly jealous while here in Wilmington, NC.

Salt Varieties & Benefits?

Does anyone out there use different salts? What salts you use and what do you use them for? I recently just read a blog by Katrina Markoff, founder of Vosges Chocolates. She encouraged the use of different salts. I'm intrigued! http://www.peaceloveandchocolate.com/ is her blog.

What to do with chestnuts

I have a large container of chestnuts that I received in my produce box, (www.theproducebox.com) and I'm not sure what to do with them! Any recipe ideas?? (besides stuffing...)

Two Buck Chuck Red Wine from Trader Joe's

I do not have a Trader Joe's where I live. However, my friend is going out of town the this weekend and asked if I wanted anything from the store. Has anyone tried Trader Joe's Two Buck Chuck Wine? If you give good reviews, I'll have her pick up a bottle or two!

Dining in San Diego!

Any suggestions where to eat in San diego? Great places to eat lunch and dinner. Preferably some great seafood suggestions for dinner but anything is much appreciated!

Annapolis, MD for Graduation Week

My family will be in Annapolis for Graduation Week next week. There will be about 11 of us. Where are some good places to eat for large parties? (But still delicious....)

Additionally, are there any particular restaurants that have great desserts? (not necessarily for large parties, I'd like to maybe take a date there!)

Garces Trading Company in Philly?

I had a previous post regarding where to eat in Philly Army vs Navy Football weekend. Based on the reviews, my family decided on Zahav. I really wanted to eat at Cucina Forte as well, but with our party of 6 and tight schedule, we are trying to avoid BYOBs. Has anyone been to Garces Trading Company? The menu looks great but I would love some input. Since we are only there for 3 nights, I don't want one botch dinner! http://www.garcestradingcompany.com/

Cook the Book: Soba Noodles with Eggplant and Mango

This particular plate, a cool starter or perfect spring lunch, marries ingredients that seemingly have nothing to do with one another, namely mango and eggplant. But when the eggplant is charred and mixed with the nutty soba noodles and the tangy dressing, the mango brings the dish together with its sweet bursts of fruitiness boosting the salty, sour qualities of the noodles.

First Look: All the Cocktails at Ad Hoc, Yountville, CA

If you've been tasting wine all day in Napa or Sonoma, by sunset you might be ready for a change of pace. Ad Hoc, Thomas Keller's family-style restaurant in Yountville, recently got its liquor license, and the team, including Bar Manager Christian Schnurr, Sommelier and Assistant GM Jessica Pinzon, and GM Josh Blackman, has been busy perfecting a Keller-approved 6-item cocktail list that just made its debut. We took the launch as an excuse to head up to wine country to check it out. More

Diane Rossen Worthington's Penne with Roasted Broccoli and Pistachio Gremolata

Roasted broccoli is a wonder. A hot oven can transform the mild vegetable into something rich and caramelized, and the depth of flavor it's capable of never ceases to amaze me. And tossing with hot pasta is about the best way I know to transform that magic into a full meal. This recipe, from Diane Rossen Worthington's Seriously Simple Parties, takes things a step further by tossing the whole thing with a pistachio gremolata. More

Dinner Tonight: Rick Bayless's Zucchini, Corn, and Poblano Tacos

You don't come across vegetarian tacos all that often, but in the rare instances in which you do, they're often wonderful. For a long time my go-to was another Rick Bayless recipe involving swiss chard and caramelized onions; I'd put them in front of any meat eater any day. Searching for a recipe using corn and zucchini, I came across this second Bayless recipe, which is similarly excellent. More

Cocktail 101: Cocktail Making in Theory and Practice

Today I'm going to step back a bit from my normal habit, in this space, of looking at cocktails and spirits in minute detail. Instead, I'll discuss a general theory of cocktails, one that should help you branch out from specific recipes and develop the ability to create new masterworks of cocktailing. With today's post as your guide, you too can someday become a master cocktologist. More

The Food Lab's Asparagus Week, Day 1: Asparagus and Ramp Soup with Yogurt

Now's the time of year that asparagus is at its absolute sweet and tender best around here, so I've decided to make a whole week out of it. Welcome to Asparagus Week! Each day this week you'll find a new asparagus recipe here that'll hopefully demonstrate the crazy versatility of spring's finest produce. The key to truly fantastic asparagus soup is the same as the key to truly fantastic grilled asparagus or braised asparagus or blanched asparagus or sauteed asparagus: start with truly fantastic asparagus.

Dinner Tonight: Mindy Fox's Red Quinoa, Raw Asparagus and Endive Salad

When asparagus is truly in season, like at this exact moment, the vegetable is so sweet and tender it doesn't even need to be cooked. Just thinly slice the stalks, dress them with a vinaigrette, and you're left with a stunningly simple fresh asparagus salad. The only catch is that these salads are often light, bordering on insubstantial. That might make a fine first course, but what if you only want to make one dish for dinner? This recipe from Mindy Fox's Salads: Beyond the Bowl solves that problem by adding quinoa, pine nuts, and shaved Parmesan. More
