Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'

My favorite bread to bake is Peter Reinhart's pain a l'ancienne. But my second favorite, and the one I make most often, is challah. I'm eating some right now...

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'American Cheeses'

Oh, very hard to choose a favorite. Today I'll go with Jasper Hill Farm's Constant Bliss.

Win Fuchsia Dunlop's 'Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper'

Yikes! Too hard to choose. As a whole, I'll take a big dim sum brunch over any particular dish, but I guess my current favorite single dish lately is General Tso's chicken made from from Fuchia Dunlop's amazing Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook recipe.

Cape Cod eats

Our family's favorite is Clem and Ursie's. Very good lobster in the rough as well as big portions of BBQ and Portuguese seafood specialties, and amazing cakes for dessert (also, $1 apiece Wellfleet oysters during happy hour). It has a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

Lorraine's at the west end of Commercial street has been one of our favorites for years. Higher-end Mexican mixed with American. A huge tequila menu. I read a review elsewhere that said that Lorraine's is recently going downhill - I haven't been there for a year, so don't know if that's true. Last meal we had there was excellent.

The Bookstore restaurant (already mentioned) in Wellfleet has out-of-this-world oyster stew (with a thick layer of butter floating on the top); the rest of the food is fine and fresh, but nothing special; the view from the deck is wonderful, though.

My favorite fish and chips is actually at the little take-out shack right on the Wellfleet pier.

Also in PTown is a little place called Caribbean Corner Cafe that makes excellent arepas and other South American treats. Amazingly delicious and all made while you wait.

Finally, The Wicked Oyster in Wellfleet is one of our new favorites. They have great breakfasts, too!

Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast

This is pretty funny timing. I was just eating fried dill pickle spears at KCs Rib Shack in Manchester, NH yesterday!

Oy! It's too hard to pick just one, but my grandmother's potato kugel is right u there - and latkes, challah, and a good, greasy, piled high pastrami on kaiser.

Seriously Delicious Giveaway: Zingerman's Gift Certificate

So hard to choose just one! My four favorites at the moment are Thistle Hill Tarentaise, Jasper Hill Constant Bliss, Cashel Blue, and just about any fresh, local goat cheese.

Win Your Thanksgiving Turkey!

Take a corn tortilla and warm it (for tastiest results, heat it briefly on both sides on a griddle with a little bit of butter or oil), then add leftover turkey, a spoonful of mashed potatoes, and a dollop of cranberry sauce. Roll it up and devour.

What is your favorite book about baking bread?

I can't do without these: Beard on Bread (my first bread book),Peter Reinhart's Crust and Crumb and The Bread Baker's Apprentice (the pain à l'ancienne recipe is incredible), and Maggie Glezer's Artisinal Baking Across America.

What's Your Favorite Local Cheese?

Here in Vermont we have a lot of really excellent local cheese, but here are two on the top of my list:

Thistle Hill Farm's Tarentaise - North Pomfret, VT http://www.thistlehillfarm.com

Jasper Hill Farm's Constant Bliss - Greensboro, VT http://www.jasperhillfarm.com.

Cook the Book: 'The Summer Shack Cookbook' Giveaway

Simple, boiled lobster is the only shore treat I ever crave.

I have a few favorite places (one in Essex, MA, and another in Provincetown, MA, and the lobsters), but I think the best I've ever had is at the hard-to-find Lisa's Lobster House, In Georgetown, ME. The shack is on a pier, where the fishing boats pull up and unload the lobsters right in front of your eyes. Nothing fancy, but the freshest, most delicious lobsters I've ever tasted (and inexpensive, too!)

What's Your Favorite Local Ice Cream?

Another New England entry: Srafford Organic Creamery (www.straffordcreamery.com) in Strafford, VT. This is an organic family farm that supplies milk and ice cream to the VT/NH area. Terrific vanilla and chocolate, and several other seasonal flavors.

Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast

I love fried pickles but I thought your comment about spears was really weird because I find the exact opposite to be true. The chips tend to get soggy and cold much faster than the spears. Which made sense to me because the spears are crunchier in the first place. I actually avoid places that have chips. Hooters for example has the chips. Which almost everywhere has a hooters so there you go but I don't go because I want the real thing. The full on spear and if you're lucky and you're at Little River BBQ in Townsend, TN then you get the special sauce too (some sort of sweet mustard). It's absolutely the best. Chips really?!!? So confusing....

How did I ever miss this? Toots was my first exposure to fried pickles back in college over 10 years ago! Now, Jockamo's is my place to get my fix!

I have sourdough starter that's 5 years old. I love using that because it's supposed to do something for insulin - either make it come or make it go away - whatever it is that is good for diabetics.

My favorite bread is a simple old-fashioned yeast bread like my mother always made. Kneading and letting it rise then smelling that yeasty scent - delicious.

I love making a whole wheat version of French bread, which I use for bread, bagels, and pizza crust. Everything is better with whole wheat!

Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'

Whole wheat sandwich bread is what I bake the most...but I think making pizza crust is the most fun. It's not really a bread though.. does that even count?

We love homemade breads. My favorite is banana walnut or pumpkin, though. They are always nice and moist. Thanks for hving the contest!
