Cook the Book: The Southern Italian Table

Sauteed spinach with pinenuts and lots of olive oil, served on polenta

Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'

I found a recipe for white bean, sage, and Italian sausage soup (kinda more like a thick stew, actually) a couple of years ago. I make a huge batch of it every fall when the rain starts, freeze most of it, and eat it for months. So rich and comforting.

@NotAmerican - that sauce sounds yummy. We have some fresh jalapenos in the garden I could use...

@everyone - sounds like Franks + butter is the most popular. Has anyone had any success imitating it with fresh ingredients?

Lamb and fig kebabs grilled on rosemary skewers (thanks Mark Bittman) or fish tacos with mango salsa. Either with fresh berry pie for dessert!

where are the cooks in my generation?

I'm only 21, but have been cooking full meals since middle school. My mother used to cook every dinner, but when she took a part-time job, she no longer had the time or energy. So divided up the week and each of us (my parents, brother, sister, and I) each took two days a week to make dinner. My sister was only about 8 at the time, but she still learned how to make food other than Mac and Cheese and we're all, I think, great cooks now.

Angel hair pasta with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper would be my choice. Adding cheese would be optional.

Ahhh, so many things to choose from, and economical too! I am going to go with Pasta Puttanesca, the spices and the anchovies really knock me out. I love to add extra cheese to it also, and serve it with nice crusty bread!

I cook a great chicken parmesan! It's actually Amy Sedaris's recipe but I love it.

Dude. Roasted garlic in olive oil and butter spread over fresh-baked bread. Is there anything better? I think not. Cheaper? Heck no.
