Serious Eats: mistvan's Profile

Unfortunately I have not been very many places. But, once when I was 19 (26 years ago now) I went down to Cozumel, Mexico. One of the things I remember most was that I desperately wanted a hamburger and everywhere I went they purported to have hamburgers but every one I ate while there was clearly made with fish!

But I'm sure you can improvise a recipe based on your own preferences.

A beginner cook tackling a Thanksgiving for two, any menu ideas?

Cornish hens! Elegant appearance, easy to cook in a shorter amount of time than Turkey.

Cook the Book: 'Summer on a Plate'

The OLD Joy of Cooking by Rombauer and Rombauer Becker taught me my most basic skills and I still return to it for many things.

Breakfast Tacos at Rosie’s Tamale House in Bee Cave, Texas

I live here and, believe me, breakfast tacos are definitely allowed all the time. They are more prevalent here than McDonald's breakfast, for sure.

Cook the Book: 'Top Chef'

I make a really wicked muffin with lots of fruits and nuts. I guess that's what I'd try.

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

My personal variation on Chana Masala wherein I add a bit more nutmeg and some cinnamon as well as ground dried apicots. It makes it a bit sweet as well as spicy.

Paneer. I have always loved eating Indian food at restaurants but recently ventured into a local Indian market and discovered you can buy paneer already made! Paneer is Indian cheese that is more like a really firm tofu and is pretty much a vegetarian staple for Indian food. It has really emboldened me...:)
