Serious Eats: lisal's Profile

My first cookbook was the New Basics. I went through it and added plastic tabs so I could quickly flip to each section. There are several recipes from that book that have become regulars in my weekly meal rotations. Love that book!

Seriously Meatless: Baingan Aloo Charchari

Sounds fantastic! I've been craving Indian food lately, and I've been meaning to practice cooking it more. Perfect timing.

Right now we have fresh black eyed peas and okra in Texas. I made a tasty black eyed pea puree over the weekend and have been using okra in various dishes.

Those little, Brazilian cheese bread balls are so addictive. I can't stop eating those once I start.

Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'

My favorite meatless meal has to involve mushrooms, but I'm torn between pasta and risotto.

Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer

My first encounter with Indian cuisine was at a little, hole in the wall restaurant where we stopped for lunch one day after reading a recommendation. I had a deliciously buttery chicken dish and have been trying to learn more about the cuisine since that day.

Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'

My favorite vendor is the friendliest guy around but can never remember my name. He can talk me into purchasing just about anything and is always interested in how I used my last purchase.

I made a homemade beet pasta dough and used it for goat cheese ravioli. Bright pinkish-purple color and delicious!

Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'

I have made my great grandmother's carrot and zucchini o-shaped loaf for my in-laws for the past three years. I surround the loaf with and put in the middle tons of roasted broccoli - definitely a crowd pleaser, as it goes fantastic with the turkey and mashed potatoes and all the other classic sides!

Impossible to have just one, so the two would be cornbread dressing and Emmitt Smith's Sweet Potatoe Casserole.

My favorite "side" is the nut bread that my mother used to make for her entire married life. She found the recipe in a newspaper in 1948. It is chock-full of walnuts! Thanks!
