Patel Brothers (Jackson Heights) :)

Something that says "fair-trade" on it.

Nuts like pecans or walnuts, and a few bars of bittersweet chocolate (I prefer chopping it myself rather than buying chocolate chips). Many of my favorite baked goods have nuts and/or chocolate in ...

I often make a "breakfast strata" with all kinds of leftovers- bread cubes, cooked vegetables, herbs held together with an egg custard.

I love your selection, and use all of these. But the pan I use the most by far is my 8x8 square pyrex dish. For some reason, many of the recipes I choose call for this size. It is also perfect for ...

I do shop regularly at WF, but quite selectively since I can only afford a fraction of the foods they sell. But I have to say, with respect to your dislike #2: Our WF (St. Louis) makes a...

I'm making potato bread.

The favorite among the ones I have tried so far is for "Double Chocolate Walnut Biscotti". Very decadent!

I love "The Art of Simple Food" as a very informative cookbook, and enjoyed reading Julia Child's "My life in France" thoroughly. My suggestions: 1. Hungry Planet: What the World Eat...

I would like to have an informal potluck party with the theme "favorite comfort food".

My mother gives me the best food gifts ever. Like shredded sweet-sour-spicy mango chutney with mangoes from my parents' backyard. I am never home during mango season, so one year she tracked down a...

Paneer Tikkas: paneer (a milky Indian cheese) cubes, and cubes of onions and peppers marinated in a yogurt-based spicy tandoori marinade, then skewered and grilled until the edges char. Heavenly!

Dum Biryani (curried vegetables layered with rice and slow-cooked in a sealed container to perfection).
