Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling

My grandparents live on a tidal river in South Carolina, and we often crab and fish in the river behind the house. I can remember as a little kid everyone sitting around the kitchen table cracking the shells of a recent harvest of crabs. My sister and I always got to eat the claws--we called them "crab popsicles"!

Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'

i love chicken marsala, but always seem to have lots of leftover mushrooms, shallots, etc....throw it all together with some of the marsala wine in a saute pan and it makes a great light pasta dressing

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage

of course North Carolina has the best barbecue there is...preferably from Allen & Sons in Chapel Hill or Bullock's in Durham. And you've gotta have some slaw and brunswick stew with it!

Cook the Book: 'Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics'

raspberry black bean dip--raspberry/chipotle salsa (which you can find at nearly all grocery stores now, not just specialty ones), a can of black beans (rinsed and drained) and a package of cream cheese. Spread the CC in a baking dish, layer with beans then salsa and bake on 350 for 25-30 mins (bubbly). DELICIOUS and couldn't be easier--it's always a hit!

Going to Hilton Head, South Carolina! Recommendations?

The Salty Dog Cafe in Sea Pines is the place that everyone goes to and leaves with a t-shirt, and the Crazy Crab is good for seafood.

Seriously, you can't go five feet anywhere in the Carolinas without seeing one of those tshirts. I remember the food as been very mediocre, but the area is nice (they have a lighthouse!) and it's an island institution.

for authentic Lowcountry food, try the mainland in Bluffton (Bluffton Oyster Co., right on the May River, or Pepper's Porch).

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

I also defrost in warm water...much quicker than room temperature and I despise defrosting in the microwave. Frozen herb cubes from trader joe's are great, too! I can never use up those bunches of herbs before they get all gross and slimy.

With Eggs, Bacon, and Parmesan, You Just Can't Go Wrong

i tried this last night, cutting everything in half, since i was just cooking for one...i've always been a little afraid of dishes where you have to incorporate egg carefully to prevent scrambling, but it worked like a charm! Creamy, great meaty flavor from the bacon, and the leeks are a great addition. I'll definitely be adding this to my meal repertoire! Looks fancier than it is, too!
