Cook the Book: 'Panini Express'
Cashew butter, morbier cheese, fig jam on a nutty bread!
it is Perfection!
Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'
No one!
That's why my creations are so adventurous...
I guess it was television that has taught me everything I know about cooking really - starting with the Frugal Gourment, Martin Yan,Julia Child and co. on PBS and then Food Network after we got cable.

Cherries for Change
I keep seeing this mentioned in the news but no one says what's in it!
it's driving me crazy!
and there's no mention of it on the ben & jerry's official website.
I just want to know what the ice cream is actually composed of!

Cook the Book: 'Techniques of Healthy Cooking'
Baked/Roasted sweet potatoes (popped in the microwave for 5 minutes if I'm really in a hurry) with a thrown-together feta, red onion, olives, cherry tomatoes and olive oil salad on top.
Hot and cold, creamy and sweet and salty, filling and incredibly healthy!
Cook the Book: 'The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without'
Hot roasted sweet potatoes with cool feta, olive, onion and herb salad on top
It's simply the best combination of flavors!
Dinner Tonight: Custardy Popovers
I love the Moosewood Cookbook!
Tasty, easy-to-make, veggie-friendly - what's not to love?
it's been my favorite cookbook since I was a child, I started by memorizing her basic quiche recipe and then playing with all the variations!
Now that we have a couple vegetarians in the family, and I've had a few years of cooking for vegetarian friends, her work just grows more popular and timeless!
Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?
Pumpkin pie is the essence of mediocrity
As Garrison Keillor put it so well "The best pumpkin pie you ever ate isn't that much better than the worst pumpkin pie you ever ate"
He also said something about how its just vehicle for nutmeg.
I eat it with pleasure one time a year and that is plenty!
Win Your Thanksgiving Turkey!
Since my mom doesn't really like to cook (she finds it stressful) so I cook Thanksgiving dinner for our family now, which I love!
The neck goes to my grandpa (who always takes the opportunity to tell the story of how my grandmother used to stretch one roasted chicken to feed their entire family of 7).
I like to pan-fry the liver as a little snack for the cook, spread on a little toasted buttered bread.
The rest of the giblets go to grandma who puts them in her secret gravy recipe which she insists on cooking every year.
I would love to introduce my family to the delicious difference of an organic bird!
Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?
mmm pumpkin pie is fabulous and should never be forgotten especially on thanksgiving! save the pumpkin pie! :)
Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?
I laughed so hard at this blog, because my mom used to make me pumpkin pies for my birthday instead of cake, because I loved it so much. I still do. It is the BEST part of Thanksgiving and Christmas meals for me. I love pumpkin bars, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin cheesecake. PLEASE DON'T GET RID OF PUMPKIN PIE!!!
Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?
I haven't swooned over pumpkin pie yet, but I sure do like it served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I want to swoon over it, though.
@Lippy: I must find that Beard pumpkin pie recipe with preserved ginger and brandy. I've got some Raynal V.S.O.P that needs a job.
Top Chef: Block Rockin' Eats
I thought Zoi should have packed her knives and left. The texture of the corndogs may not have survived the holding and transport process, but other than the sogginess it was never said by the judges that they didn't have overall good flavor. Not so, it seems, for the pasta salad. Whether she wanted to do it or not, pasta salad is pretty simple AND is also a classic dish that normally can hold and be transported for picnics, block parties, etc. How do you screw that up? In my mind, a chef that failed to anticipate the challenges of adapting a dish he knows well to how it would hold up making it hours in advance is not nearly as bad as a chef who can't make something as simple as a pasta salad taste decent.
In comparison with last week, isn't that what Valerie went home for? Stephanie dressed her salad too far in advance and it got soggy (poor planning), but Valerie's dish simply didn't taste good, so she got the boot. The judging is often inconsistent in this regard; I think poor taste should always be the deciding factor over poor planning, poor texture, poor presentation, etc. If a chef can't taste how bad his/her own dish is when it's made, why would we ever want to eat their food?

Hot pastrami that is shaved but piled high, seeded rye with spicy brown mustard on the inside and lightly buttered on the outside (I sometimes mix butter, parmesean cheese and garlic powder for the outside), Swiss cheeese (or cheese of choice or whatever is in the fridge), sauerkraut, and I sometimes add tomatoes. This is a prize I could really use!! Thanks for giving us the chance to win.
