Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
chocolate, peanut butter, pecan pie. ohhhh yum
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was the Betty Crocker cookbook. It's since been joined by about 40 others. Some people read science fiction other read romance novels. I read cookbooks :)
Befriending Chefs/Restaurant Staff
I did something similar with a local restaurant - by no means staffed by chefs, but real good food nonetheless. It also works with police and fire departments and teachers. Bring them a couple dozen home baked cookies and a couple gallons of milk. People, regardless of profession, appreciate a heartfelt gesture.
Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'
I was in Jaen at an Improving University Teaching Conference. I was with a handful of attendees tapas hopping from one establishment to the next. It was a fantastically great way to experience local culture and food.
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
a simple grilled patty made with 50% ground chuck and 50% ground buffalo between 2 leaves of iceberg lettuce. No bun, no condiments, no toppings. Let the meat speak for itself. Yum.
ATTN St Louis Pizza Fans - Help!
lawstudent13...I'm not trying to relive St. Louis style. I'm interested in revisiting the place I had the deep dish.
Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'
I'm a fan of the Tahlequah Farmers' Market. Every vendor is friendly, knowledgeable and the prices are fair. Eat local!
Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling
My favorite childhood food memory is one that took place regularly in my Nanna's kitchen. My grandmother from Malta would spend hours working a dough until it was tender, flaky, buttery and delicious. The dough was used in the ubiquitous Maltese pastry, Pastizzi.
Cook the Book: 'Serious Barbecue' by Adam Perry Lang
grilled tomato and bhut jolokia pepper salsa. holy buckets that was good and hot.
Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
I enjoyed the wonderful company of a very lovely woman while preparing my healthier version of fish tacos (http://tinyurl.com/d49f3v) for her enjoyment. Good food, good wine, good company...good times.
what do YOU substitute to make something healthier?
I've developed a healthier version of a "fish taco" that my friends and family enjoy. Instead of fried fish I use poached. Instead of shredded cabbage, I use broccoli slaw and instead of a yogurt or creme based sauce I use chunky guacamole. I add sriracha sauce to add spice to mine.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
Pizza with the Portuguese sausages linguica and chourico. A nod to my stay in Fall River, MA.
Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'
Corn meal laden chicago style pizza dough would have to be my favorite.
Cook the Book: 'On the Line'
poached tilapia, broccoli slaw (no dressing), chunky guacamole placed on a flour tortilla. A healthy, delicious fish taco.
What do you put in your oatmeal?
steel cut oats cooked overnight in a slow cooker with low fat milk and topped with a lightly poached egg. yum.
Uncommon food allergies that nobody believes?
My significant other gets violently ill when she consumes even a trace amount of garlic. Symptoms include extreme gastrointestinal distress. She's gotten to the point where she can smell it coming from the pores of people who have consumed it during the previous week or so.
I grew up on southern Italian/Maltese foods. It's been challenging and fun reworking recipes without that mainstay.
Cook the Book: 'The Great Wings Book'
guacamole, chips and homebrewed russian imperial stout
Cook the Book: 'The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook'
Pastizzi from Malta. Oh how I miss my Nana's pastizzi!

The Silver Palate's Corn Bread-Sausage Stuffing With Apples, it just looks as if it is something that would be delicious even if there wasn't a 25 pound bird sitting next to it (not that anybody would dare get rid of the bird)
