DIY Espresso
The resource for all things coffee is the forums at http://www.coffeegeek.com
Everything from making a roaster from a popcorn popper to optimal temp settings for espresso extractions is there.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
I make a white spaghetti with extra virgin olive oil, capers, and lemon juice and if there's some chicken or fish about about I'll toss that in too. Grate a bit of Parmesan on top and you've got a good'un. The family loves it.
What's the easiest way to make Skillet Potatoes?
It depends on the type of potato you use. If new potatoes. then just cut up and cook with a healthy glug of olive oil --chisai's method looks perfect..
With older potatoes (i love yukon golds), I boil them until they are almost falling apart in salted water. Then drain carefully and let rest for 5-10 mins for the moisture to steam off. Then coat with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and shake around to coat with oil and salt --this also allow them to break up a bit. Fry up in a skillet (I'm not too fussy whether cast iron, non-stick or stainless) at a fairly high heat to begin with --adjust heat as you cook so they don't burn.

1. An americano From my Isomac Tea espresso machine or a cup from the bodum presspot
2. An americano from a coffee shop I know and trust. If e coffee's no good I send it back until they get it right.
3. I drink water or tea. There is NO reason to drink bad coffee.
Polluting coffee with sugar and/or cream is just not an option.
