Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Elements of Cooking'

The most important part of knowing how to cook is loving food. Without a passion for the sensory delights of nourishment, one is left with zero desire to do anything but put fuel in their body.

Weekend Book Giveaway: The Oxford Companion to Italian Food

Listen Up my fellow Cooks/Contestants. Serious Eats say they reserve the right to alter any rules of any contest at any time. This means when the rule states S.Eats will pick the winner at random; anyone can make any kind of off the kitchen wall comment.It won't matter; it's a random pick. S.Eats should have the sources involved in the promotion take a peek at some of the clever answers that come across their world wide website.So all of you bright,intelligent,shrewd,quick,talented,expert,gifted and smart wordsmiths understand how the contest is played. Contact S.Eats at ATseriouseats.com and let"s alter the random pick rule. Happy Holiday and dried basil is my ingredient.

Pennyroyal is from the mint genus and has a very strong spearmint smell. Nepitella, by contrast, is like a minty oregano and tastes amazing with shrimp.

My favorite Italian ingredient is rosemary. I use it in almost every Italian dish I make - I even use the plant's thickest stalks as skewers for roasting shrimp, chicken, beef, and/or potatoes on the barbecue. Next to oregano (or nepitella when I can find it), rosemary is by far my favorite.
