Grilling: The Gas vs. Charcoal Debate

I went through a months long debate between buying a charcoal or a gas grill. Finally, decided that having both would be best. Got a Weber 22 and a Q. I couldn't be happier.

Cook the Book: 'My Bread'

I'm going to have to go back to my first loaf using the Lahey method via Bittman. I've been cooking at least weekly since that first loaf came out of the Dutch oven. Being able to make a loaf of bread with a hard crust and airy crumb didn't allow me to go back to store bought.

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

Because it is so versatile and so good at what it does -- whether it's taking center stage or playing a supporting role, it remains a star.

Cook the Book: 'Bottega Favorita' by Frank Stitt

Bucatini all'amatriciana. Some onions, tomatoes, hot peppers, and my very own guanciale (cured pig jowl) that I just finished curing. Wonderful fattiness straight from pig's lips.

Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'

I can't twist Italian. I'm so afraid of Marcella Hazan and her rules that I don't dare go off the beaten path.

Locavore 1.0: Find Local, in Season Food on Your iPhone

I decided to make this the application I bought (versus just downloading the free ones). Unfortunately, this first version isn't working for me -- it crashes before it finds my location.

Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'

Ciabatta -- I remember the first time I had it at the bakery across the street from my apartment. The ciabatta in the display case looked as perfect as a beautiful, floury slipper. I asked for a loaf of the see-a-ba-ta, learned how to pronounce it, and couldn't go back to bagged bread again. I never get tired of trying different little tricks with this relatively straightforward bread.
