Cook the Book: 'Tacos'

Some friends from grad school (in Illinois) got married in Austin a few years ago. The whole Chicago group decamped to Texas for a nice long weekend of celebration. On our last morning, we drove probably 45 minutes out of town to a taco shack for a roadside breakfast. It was my first nopales experience. Phenomenal.

Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate

The first time I had dark chocolate and seasalt together -- it was a molten chocolate cake at a great French restaurant. I'd never considered the combination; haven't made anything chocolatey without salting-it-up since.

What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?

Hello, my name 'the minority' and I'm for Chicago. All the way.
Though I will confess to not having tried out some of these places... But oh man, Chicago.

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

Someone's already said that they pre-soak their steel-cut oats, and that's my major time-saver too.

I also enjoy being able to just grab a veg out of the fridge and use it immediately, so I wash most of my produce when I get it home from the store. Doesn't work for everything, of course, but it's nice to know I don't have to wash the red pepper, etc...

Cook the Book: 'Arthur Schwartz's Jewish Home Cooking'

Gotta go with the kugel... or the latkes... or the matzoh ball soup. All so good!

Cook the Book: 'My Last Supper'

A *really* great burger (there'd be blue cheese in there), grilled corn on the cob and grilled sweet potatoes and on the verandah at my cottage. To be followed by a watermelon/yogurt smoothie (maybe with a little rum in there).
