Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate

The first time I made & tasted Alice Medrich's New Classic Brownies... I believe they are the ultimate chocolate mouthful.

Most 'fun' cookbook you have read or own?

I have a 1963 edition of Mimi Sheraton's 'The Seducer's Cookbook', subtitled 'Helpful and hilarious hints for 20 situations into which men may lure women, and vice versa'. Extremely dated, of course! The line illustrations by Paul Coker are also quite amusing.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 12: A Prayer for a Real Treat Is Answered

H-D minibars are just the thing for those of us who require a tiny perfect treat. (I'm not dieting but it doesn't take much to satisfy my craving for sweets.) My bf buys me the dark chocolate mini-bars: dark chocolate ice cream dipped in dark Belgian chocolate. If you're into chocolate--who isn't?--this is it.

Are Rising Food Prices Affecting What You Eat?

I've been following discussions of food prices and shopping local vs supermarkets & I have to jump in here. I live in Toronto (Canada). Every summer/fall I shop at local farmers' markets & the prices are *always* higher than the grocers', sometimes close to twice as high: last year strawberries from the farmers were $5.00-$7.50/qt vs $4.00/qt in supermarkets; corn was $3.50/6 vs $2.00/12 in supermarkets at the height of the season. I still shop farmers as much as I can, but it's not as often or as much as I'd like to or as I have in the past. I know people say 'shop local/organic' at any cost, but one has to weigh practicalities against ideology. Unless Alice Waters wants to pick up my tab, I'll have to compromise somewhere along the line.

Cook the Book: Simple Chocolate Mousse

I have at least 3 different kinds of chocolate bars in the pantry at all times; a tablet or two after dinner is the best, matched with an appropriate tea.
