Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
I add cheese to everything and tend to ignore signs that food has gone bad like mold... blame the economy! I'm a poor recent college graduate :)
Cook the Book: Eugenia Bone's 'Well-Preserved'
dried apricots and persimmons. and pickles. the idea of fermentation scares me. in the Hazmat kind of sense. I think I'm more likely to kill myself with some kind of pickle gone wrong.

Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate
For a party, I made a vegan chocolate cake for a friend, who in addition to being lactose-intolerant also has a myriad of other food allergies. After a while, I stopped following the recipe since I didn't have applesauce or 3 cups of maple syrup and just started adding ingredients to compensate. Oddly enough the cake was ridiculously delicious and tastier than the completely normal cake I made as well. I regret not writing down what I added since I don't know if I can ever recreate the cake, and it was so damn good!
Fernet Branca: A Better Bitter?
Fernet is AWESOME. really. I found it to be quite enjoyable... and like many of the other commentators, I had it in Argentina. Unfortunately, I was under 21 when I declared the bottle of wine to US customs, and they poured everything (including the bottles of fernet and other stuff) down the drain. what a waste!

green onions. the one ingredient I think I'll always use because it's such a mainstay in the Asian kitchen, but never do.
Cook the Book: 'Fat'
though I've yet to make this myself, my grandmother said the secret to the best xiaolongbao skins, the most cui cui and tender, was a touch of lard.
Win Fuchsia Dunlop's 'Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper'
There's this snack of shaved milk. It's like shaved ice only made from frozen blocks of milk. You shave it and then top it with some combination of fruit, green tea, red bean, barley, tapioca, fruit jellies, taro, condensed milk and more. IT IS DELICIOUS and my favorite Chinese food to eat in the summer.
p.s. to cheff
stop killing all the tuna for those nasty mashups you call spicy tuna rolls!!

Cold weather is chili time! Made with fresh tomatoes, chunks of steak and some diced habanero for a little extra kick. A big bowl of chili, caesar salad, and cheddary potato rolls are a truly memorable and satisfying meal.

Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.
