Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy
Usually a homemade Thai or Indian Curry, with rice and bread.
Thai garden rolls are always a hit too.
Cook the Book: The River Cottage Cookbook
I always grow a few tomato plants in containers and a few herbs. Definately cilantro and basil
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.

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

I laughed, I cried, I was afraid of hamburgers.
The cold war was the best, amosbkin.
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.

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.
Can you recommend some good (food) gardening resources?
my favorite website/catalog is http://www.cooksgarden.com/
I just got their 2008 catalog in the mail, so fabulous! I want everything in it.
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: Vegetarian Suppers
Pasta of any type, but my favorite is fettucini with artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, red pepper flakes, fresh herbs and feta cheese.
Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything Vegetarian' Book Giveaway
Leek and Potato Soup. It's easy, can be served warm or cold, and dressed up or down any way you want.
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.
Dinner Tonight: Ramps with Linguine
I made this this week and loved it. I toast my breadcrumbs in at least a tablespoon of olive oil and find that they add lots of flavor as well as texture. I did wish I had added some pasta cooking water for the final tossing--I set a bit aside but forgot to throw it in. Anyway, YUM, thanks for the recipe, and the clue about what to do with the famous ramps.
Dinner Tonight: Ramps with Linguine
Not impressed with this recipe. The breadcrumbs didn't add anything except texture, which is questionable. I will give Gourmet Guy's recipe a shot.
