Cook the Book: 'Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book'
The best BBQ I ever had was last summer out our annual pork party. Homemade rub, homemade sauce, slow cooked over hickory... So very tasty.
Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'
My all-time favorite bite-sized treat is deviled eggs. Especially when my mother makes them with a little extra paprika. Ooooooh yeah.
Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer
My first experience with Indian food was at a friend's house where he prepared a few different curries, some Bombay potatoes, and also our first viewing of a Bollywood movie, 'DevDas'. We have been fans of the whole culture and cuisine since.

Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
Because bacon can be an entree, bacon can be a side dish, bacon can be a condiment, bacon can be a dessert, bacon can be a topping. It is a true kitchen multi-tasker.

Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
My biggest baking disaster would have to be a few years ago, Christmas. I had made a cheesecake that turned out a little rough. To try and cover it up and make it look better, I melted down some chocolate to give it a little top coating. I did not soften the chocolate enough before applying it and I ended up with chocolate armored cheesecake. Tasty, but we had to work for it!
Cook the Book: 'Seven Fires'
A toss up between plantains and chimichurri steak.
Cook the Book: 'Modern Spice'
I would like to learn Korean or Indian food. My Indian cooking is limited to curry powder and heat-n-serve envelopes. My Korean cooking is nonexistent.
Cook the Book: Eugenia Bone's 'Well-Preserved'
This year, we are going to be making our first attemt to can tomatoes, peppers, pickles, and jams. Oh, and some kimchi!
Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
Some of the seafood tacos I have had in Aventura Akumal, Mexico are the BEST I have ever had. Nothing comes close to that perfect blend of fresh ingredients, homemade everything, and wonderful taste.
Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'
My favorite travel adventure has to be cave diving in the Yucatan. My father had told my brother and I that we would be cave diving, but he said nothing of needing to travel an hour by rickety old Land Rover through two-tracks to a small shack out in the middle of nowhere. The food at the little villa, however, was some of the best I have ever had.
Crunchiest Drinking Snack Ever: Kanikko, Tiny Japanese Crabs
Oh man, these little guys are TASTY! I keep these and sembei (rice snack crackers) on hand at all times.
I agree that they are good with a glass of cold beer. I will have to give them a whirl with sake or shochu.
Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'
My favorite is rye. Mostly because when I am making rye it means that pretty soon I am making Reubens.
Cook the Book: 'On the Line'
A nice fillet of whitefish breaded in a mixture of panko and southern seasoning (currently favoring Seminole Swamp Seasoning mix) and deep fried.
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
My wife's teriyaki tofu stir-fry, no doubt about it.
Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate
Jake's Steaks in St. Louis has a 'Chocolate Molten Cake' that defines everything I look for in an 'insane chocolate overdose' cake.
Cook the Book: 'Osteria'
My wife's venison chili with sour cream, cheddar, and oyster crackers.
Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'
Back before I knew better, I attempted to make a cheesecake. The cheesecake did not come out looking very well, so I decided to cover it in chocolate. I melted down some semi-sweet bakers chocolate in an attempt to beautify the cheesecake with a thin chocolate coating.
Well... The chocolate layer was not very thin, and as I had no concept at the time of softening bakers chocolate, it was very hard. Extremely hard. The result lives on in family legend as the armor-coated cheesecake.
Dinner Tonight: Paprika Roast Chicken
I think I know what I am making for dinner tomorrow night! (because tonight we are introducing someone to bibimbap!)
Cook the Book: 'The Great Wings Book'
Actually, my 'must have' game day snack is my homemade teriyaki wings.

Cook the Book: 'Into the Vietnamese Kitchen'
We are going to be eating more veggies, fish, and drink more water. Last year's resolution to eat less junk food worked out pretty good so we are sticking with that one as well.
