Dinner Tonight: Ramps with Linguine

I've never seen a ramp in Washington State. I think they're just an east coast phenomenon. : (

Usually a homemade Thai or Indian Curry, with rice and bread.
Thai garden rolls are always a hit too.

Clueless with Fennel

I love fennel roasted in the oven or sliced in salads. But for a more gentle fennel flavor for fennel beginners, try throwing some chopped fennel in with potatoes when you are boiling them for mash. Put it all through a food mill or ricer and make mashed potatoes as usual. For more fennel flavor, add a hit of pernod (really just a tiny bit) at the end.

Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'

My favorite chicken dish growing up was a masterpiece of convenience cooking, "Chicken that makes it's own gravy".
Chicken pieces smothered in canned cream of mushroom soup and velveeta cheese, baked and served over egg noodles. I should deny ever even hearing of such a dish, but as a kid I loved it.

In Videos: Suicidal Cadbury Creme Egg Commercials

That was hillarious! Cadbury eggs are too sweet for me, but I think I'll eat one this year just because. The garbage can was my favorite.

Quinoa - what the .. ?

I love quinoa. My roommate made a great salad with it the other day by cooking it, chilling it, then tossing it with roasted beets and roasted fennel and a sherry vinaigrette. It was fabulous.
My favorite 'fancy' way of making quinoa is using it in place of rice in a briyani. I've got a recipe for quinoa briyani posted at recipezaar.com if you want to check it out.
Have fun experimenting, it's a great grain.

Cook the Book: 'Beard on Food'

My father is my biggest inspiration when it comes to cooking. He wouldn't cook every night but he always did the best celebration and holiday meals. I still crave his Paella every summer.
