Cook the Book: 'Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book'
I'm going to guess that here in Boston, we don't even have "real" BBQ! I make some darn good baby-back ribs, but I don't know that they're authentic.

Last night my father declared my matzoh meal rolls the best he'd ever eaten (even though it's my mother's recipe that she's been making for years!): http://verbatim.blogs.com/verbatim/2009/04/the-taste-of-april.html
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
I make risotto in a pressure cooker! Don't tell your Italian grandma on me. ;-)

Cook the Book: 'Ten'
When I went to school in London (many years ago, before you could get pretty much everything American there), I was dying for a brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tart. Someone told me about this expensive little store that catered to homesick ex-pats. It took me forever to find it, but there were my beloved (exorbitantly priced) Pop-Tarts.
Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
As far as I can tell, he's saying the same thing Michael Pollan has been saying: "Eat less meat. Eat more plants." This is good advice, and not hard to do.
Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'
I used to make baguettes all the time, but now I usually just make a regular round boule.
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
I know that bacon has practically become a cliche, but it's true that a small amount of good bacon can add a huge dimension of "meatiness" to salads, pasta dishes, bean soups, etc.
Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'
I once made a batch of chocolate frosting that was so gritty it was inedible. Never did figure out what I did wrong!
Seriously Delicious Super Bowl Party Giveaway: La Frieda Black Label Burgers
I don't want my burger well-done
And I don't like a thin, soggy bun.
Make the meat pinkish red,
Butter and then toast the bread.
Add ketchup and then I'll have fun.

Honey-Brined and Smoked Turkey
Smoked turkey is a huge favorite of mine! Last week we made smoked turkey legs for our weekly BBQ soaked the hickory chips in beer and then finished off with a glaze of bbq sauce. A grill does just fine for a smoker, gas or charcoal.
