I LOVE their books! My favorite culinary travel memory is eating traditional khmer snacks of rice and coconut baked in bamboo from the side of the road in rural cambodia.

we make a tofu parmigian. I know it sounds odd, but a firm tofu makes a great breaded cutlet (no, I am not vegetarian)

you can also put some jam of your choice in them and roll them up, kinda like a rugulah-ish cookie.

feeling cheated by a food retailer
UPDATE: Zingerman's customer service returned my email promptly. Their explanation was that the extra cost was for warm weather shipping, packaging, labor, and the tote. I did pay shipping on top of the price, plus, wouldn't any bacon product need to be shipped the same way? At any rate, they stressed their desire to make things right and offered to wither refund me for the package or send me more bacon. I commend the promptness and thoroughness of their customer service department and will be getting a refund. ( I think we have enough bacon!) Thanks all for your concern and offers to help!

@Ed Levine, Carosone: The totebag is a thin canvas tote. It does have a zip pocket and has reinforced handles, but doesn't zip closed or anything. I would call it one step up from the canvas bags you buy at your grocery store for taking stuff home. I wouldn't pay 23 dollars for it. As for shipping, there was a 45 dollar shipping fee on TOP of the 90 I paid for the gift pack. I have emailed them and am awaiting a response. If they are as stand up as you say, then hopefully they will explain or remedy the situation. If I don't hear back I may take you up on your offer, Ed. I will definitely update you all on what, of anything they have to say.

The Next Food Network Star - are we watching?
my favorite part was when bobby flay told the contestants who made the meatloaf "we WANTED to like it" ouch.
Vietnamese Sandwiches?
Bahn mi are fantastic! You can usually get them at a vietnamese bakery, which we have in abundance here in asian neighborhoods and near asian grocery stores. The pork ones are supposedly very good, but to me they have a bit of a mystery meat feel. You can get a great vegetarian version at most places made with tofu.

I've found that many stovetop risotto recipes can be adapted to make in the oven. For me, this turned risotto from being an occasional weeknight menu item to one that we make much more frequently. I'd say it's about 85-90% as good as stovetop in most instances, and is much tastier than a take-out alternative.
The last one I made I changed up by adding hickory smoked chicken apple sausage, and adjusting herbs and spices to compliment its sweeter flavors.

I make my italian meatballs with 2 cups of green beans that I process with my breadcrumbs in the food processor. My kids don't have to know!

I add pureed zucchini or pureed cauliflower to my meat sauce. It is a great way to sneak in an extra veggie without altering the flavor too much. We also use spaghetti squash every once in a while instead of traditional spaghetti noodles. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!

Five-cheese lasagne with homemade sauce made of fresh tomatoes and herbs is my favorite.

My favorite Italian dish with a twist is Shrimp Alfredo Fettuccine. I add a bit of Cajun seasoning to the shrimp and it's yummy.

The bruchetta at a local Italian restaurant has a twist...SOME spice/herb in there just makes it delectable! I'll have to ask what it is the next time; usually we're too busy fighting over the last piece.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
I'm not sure if this is exactly a twist, but it was new for me. I ordered vegetable lasagna for our employee recognition dinner last year. I was expecting a standard style lasagna with red sauce except it had veggies instead of pasta. What I got instead was roasted vegetables layered with tons of ricotta cheese (mixed with some other cheese too I think) and an amazing white sauce of some sort. I'm not really sure what was in the white sauce, but it was the best lasagna (veggie or meat) I have ever had. Oh and the portion size was so big that I couldn't even actually finish it.
