I learned to cook from the New Basics, and since then, a seminal cookbook comes along once every few months for me...one I lug around and dream about. The most recent was Alford and Duguid's Seduct...

I have exactly the same problem. I'd love to know what's up. Katya

love my csa, though I do do a lot of supplementing. wasted tons of bell peppers, but ate most of everything else. just want nothing to do with so many bell peppers. I documented the CS...

I have always loved nutmeg in sweets, often grating a bit of it just for a sniff, and it's only in the last few years that I've been discovering its common savory uses. As a child, my most common e...

I work above the Red Hook Fairway and the selection is amazing, the aisles uncrowded most times of day. The prices seem mostly good - though they have an interesting habit of putting the same item...

I made this for dinner on friday night, amazing effect with the fried tofu, though it got gluey pretty fast when combined with the rice, and then just tasted of cornstarch. Next time I'll try dred...

When I decided to get serious about bread, I followed the internet consensus to Bread Alone and it has made huge changes. I think Leader's new book, Local Breads , is a great follow-u...
