Cook the Book: Ad Hoc at Home

Dan's Hamburgers in Austin, TX. The breakfast is fantastic, the burgers are delicious, and our favorite waitress remembers our names and often our orders.

Cook the Book: 'The Art and Soul of Baking'

Pignoli - little Italian pine nut cookies. I don't know if it really counts as a "holiday cookie" but I include it on the xmas cookie plates anyway!

Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey

Salted Roast Turkey with Herbs ... I salted our turkey last year, and it was by far the best turkey I've ever eaten. Highly recommend if anyone has yet to try this method.

cheesemaking resources?

I recently purchased "Home Cheese Making" by Ricki Carroll, and it seems to be a pretty good basic how-to book for cheese making. Something worth checking out at your local book store anyway.

I've recently started the at-home cheese-making madness as well. If you have ricotta down, probably the next logical step is mozzarella. A mozzarella kit (or the individual kit ingredients) can be purchased at http://www.austinhomebrew.com/ and there's a video for mozz making on their site as well. Best of luck to you!!

Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'

Bacon is fantastic. A very small amount can be added to any number of dishes and has a big flavor impact. It adds flavor to greens, seafood, even dessert ... and I hear it's good with breakfast too. It's fairly easy to cure at home, and it freezes very well. There's very little not to love, actually.

Cook the Book: 'Martha Stewart's Cooking School'

Her onion soup - she makes the wonderful beef broth from scratch, starting with the roasted bones. Martha was the first one who showed me you needed to roast the bones first for a nice rich beef stock.

Cook the Book: 'Fat'

How to choose just one!??!
I would say pork carnitas. Nothing can match the silken texture of pork that's been slow cooked in fat.
