Good Eats in Shanghai?

In addition to the xiao long bao (which I presume you'll be getting at Nanxiang), I would very, very highly suggest hitting up Yang's fry dumpling for smoe fried soup dumpling action. I was there last summer and those things blew my mind.

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

Eggs, in various forms, usually. Either poached on top of polenta or some other grain, atop fried rice, or english muffins, or scrambled. Or I'll make myself a big-ass cheese plate.

Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'

This is hard! I love broccoli rabe with a bit of pasta, or sauteed oyster mushrooms in some butter and cream and a poached egg with some polenta or good bread, or huevos rancheros, or...i could go on forever.

My Week Without Corn

Jews who stick to a pretty strict Passover regimen do the corn-free challenge eight days a year. It is not. easy.

Serious Heat: Horseradish Heaven

I am definitely going to give this a try. I love raw beets - I make this salad compulsively. It's so good, and healthy enough that I can validate eating far more than any human being should in one sitting.

My blog is here: Shelbs & Cheese

Since this is pretty much the best target audience, I have a question. My camera recently broke (making for significantly less awesome food-blogging). Can anybody recommend a (not-too-hardcore) camera for me? I'd prefer to stay away from the SLRs. Thanks!!

Delivery Showdown: Goodburger Versus Stand

The shoestring fries from Stand remain decent after delivery, since they're thinner and crispier to begin with I think the packaging has less of a detrimental steaming effect on them. I prefer regular belgian-type fries to shoestring in general, but the shoestring may be a better bet for delivery.

Book Giveaway: 'Clean Plates NYC'

If we're not worried about price, I'm going Sushi Yasuda; if we are, bite or freefoods are better options, though less of sit-down experiences

Question for Nutrition Conscious Serious Eaters

Nutritiondata.com has a recipe analyzer into which you can just put your recipe amounts, which it then analyzes and gives you caloric and nutritional information for the whole recipe, or per serving depending on how many you intend the recipe to serve. it's a pretty good tool, the ingredient lists leave a bit to be desired, but you can futz around on there and come up with different combinations to figure out how to get what you need out of the recipe.
