Canelés (Cannelés) de Bordeaux

I've read so many recipes for caneles. It's just one of those things better off purchased at a fine bakery.

A Sandwich a Day: Croque Madame at La Farm Bakery in Cary, NC

The white chocolate baguette at La Fram was crazy good. And I don't even like white chocolate.

I have been going to Big Wong for the last 25 years or so. It still stands as number 1 in my heart.

Open Thread: Where Are You Eating For Valentine's Day in NYC?

Since day one of my relationship with my now husband, I have voiced my hatred of this holiday. So in protest, we always dine on fried chicken and beer.

Staff Picks: What's Your Achilles Heel in the Kitchen?

Anything with yeast. I'm just not good at it. Still trying to climb that mountain though.

Valentine's Day Giveaway: Win This Prime Rib

Although I don't think Valentine's Day is romantic at all, I have the tradition to eat fried chicken and drink beer with my loved one.

As for when I do feel romantic, we usually have a seafood feast. Raw oysters, lightly seared scallops, salmon eggs, and sea urchin.

Market Tours: Esposito's Pork Shop, Feeding Midtown Since 1932

I love this place. The quality of the meat is high and they basically have everything I need. They have much more than what is showing in their cases. And the staff is extremely friendly.

Nose to tail pig feast from Resto

Cook the Book: 'Vietnamese Home Cooking'

The first time I ever had pho was when I was 10 years old. My dad brought us to the restaurant because our mom was sick. I didn't know what to think of the raw slices of beef at that age. I certainly enjoyed the rice noodles though. Foolishly, I didn't finish the rich broth at the end of the meal. It was just too much for me. Now, I know better. I eat it all: meat, noodles, broth and all.

The Best Potato Chip You've Never Had

I love Kettle brand chips. I'm going to bet I'm going to love these too.

Sugar Rush: Tiramisu at Maialino

I had this recently and it was divine. Even my non-coffee loving friend liked it. I also really enjoy the chocolate bread pudding made with croissants.

Bake the Book: Bouchon Bakery

I've seen so many recipes that tell me to throw the steak into the oven. What was your reasoning for omitting this step?

TGI Fry-Day: Salad Jumbo Prawns with Walnut at Amazing 66

@MaxFalkowitz: I've eaten a lot of this dish over the years. In fact, I like it so much that I make it at home now. It's actually fairly easy.

TGI Fry-Day: Salad Jumbo Prawns with Walnut at Amazing 66

@MaxFalkowitz: The size of the dish was relatively small. The batter on the shrimp was very thick and a strange orange color. The mayo sauce was very gloppy and too sweet. The walnuts weren't sweet enough. Also, the size of he shrimp is deceiving. Every dish I've ever had served butterflied shrimp. So when you fry, it seems bigger than it really is.

What's the Best Bread for Stuffing?

I only use sourdough in my dressing. It adds a nice tang to the otherwise savory and hearty flavors of the dish. I think it balances out well.

TGI Fry-Day: Salad Jumbo Prawns with Walnut at Amazing 66

I've had this dish growing up and still have it occasionally. When I went to Amazing 66 this year, this was the worst rendition of the dish I've encountered in awhile.
