Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling

My dad worked a lot when I was young, so I used to love waking up way before the alarm and sitting with him in the kitchen while he had peanut butter toast and tea. Both of those foods still give me great comfort and warmth to this day.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Elements of Cooking'

Although I am forever yoked to recipes, what I see as a major element of cooking is being able to improvise - if something goes wrong, knowing how to fix it.

Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything Vegetarian' Book Giveaway

I know it's omnipresent these days, but a great beet and goat cheese salad...

Fathead's in Pittsburgh. Or anything in Pittsburgh. Putting french fries on your salad at home just isn't the same.

For me, it's a tie between my mom's homemade peach pie and her homemade cookies from scratch.

It has to be my mom's apple pie with cream. I can't remember the name of it but it's sooo good!

Apple crepes with calvados at a little cafe in Munich - they were so good, we went back 3 times during the week we were there.

Scotland Yard restaurant in Alexandria, VA, made the best bread pudding ever. They added whatever fresh fruit they had on hand on a given day and it was perfect every time.

I once made a chocolate cake that used ground walnuts instead of flour. I stored the recipe on my computer and when it crashed, I wasn't able to retrieve it. That was, without a doubt, the richest, moistest chocolate cake I ever made.
