Cook the Book: 'Good Eats: The Early Years'

I am hoping this Thanksgiving will be our most memorable yet -- our first baby is due this Thursday! I've been preparing all the Thanksgiving food in advance, just in case we are in the hospital on the holiday itself.

Food Blog Award Nominees Announced

I'm definitely missing The Amateur Gourmet! Should definitely be there in the humor category.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

I don't know how to choose a favorite! Definitely bacon-related. Battered bacon with maple dipping sauce... that's a bizarre and wonderful bacon memory.

Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

I have two -- I am thrilled to hear a food reviewer on Studio 360 admit that one of his favorite meals is Macaroni and Cheese with chopped up hot dogs. Delicious! I also recently tried battered bacon with maple dipping sauce at the Commonwealth Gastropub in D.C. Awesome, but I couldn't eat more than 1 piece. Bring on the pork!

Cook the Book: 'Simple Italian Snacks'

Brie bread, aka brie wrapped in crescent rolls, maybe with some jam if we're being fancy. Very easy and tends to impress company.

Cook the Book: 'Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin'

I invented a salad dressing this weekend -- honey, sushi vinegar, good olive oil, salt, and pepper. Not very hard to come up with, but for some reason it really impressed my husband. And it was delicious on a fig and pancetta salad.
