The Food Lab: How to Cook a Perfect Prime Rib

For the first time ever, my family made prime rib for Christmas, using this method. It worked PERFECTLY - thank you so much for the timely post!

Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'

Thumbprint cookies - we only make them at Christmas, and they're rolled in chopped walnuts and filled with raspberry jam. So little, you don't feel guilty after eating a dozen :)

'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

Cereal, risotto with whatever veggies are around, pasta with jarred pasta sauce and whatever veggies I have - quick things, with a lot of starch.

Cook the Book: 'Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics'

Any type of bread - most of my friends don't do the yeast thing, so I always bring a homemade sourdough loaf.

Cook the Book: 'Giada's Kitchen'

It's a tie between bolognese and vodka sauces - both so good, it just depends on whether I want meat with my pasta or not!

Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'

Biggest disaster - an apple cake that never fully baked and oozed butter (we still can't figure out what went wrong)
Biggest success - the first loaf of sourdough where I leaned in and heard the crackle of a crisp crust!

Cook the Book: Serves One

Risotto - it's a wonderful base, and I can throw whatever veggies in that I have and whatever wine is open at the time.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club

Crispy, but not shatteringly crispy. There still needs to be a little chewiness to it.
