Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer

at the end of the first semester my first year in college, my seminar professor took us all out to an Indian restaurant to celebrate. It was at a place called Pasand, which I remember being tasty (and different from anything I'd had before) but whose owner turned out to be running some kind of immigration scam.

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'

seafood tacos, with freshly fried fish, scallops and shrimp in a freshly fried taco shell, at a little place on the south side of Chicago. they closed less than a week later and promised to open elsewhere, but it's been over three years and I've heard nothing...

Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'

not that remote, but rather foreign--when my brother and I went to Tokyo, we took the train from the airport. the train was very crowded, and an older lady got on board with bags of groceries. my brother silently gave up his seat for her, and she gave us some boxes of Japanese candy in thanks, though we couldn't quite figure out what she was saying because we don't understand Japanese. we also couldn't figure out what the candy actually was, because all the writing on the packaging was in Japanese....it was tasty, though.

Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'

appropriately enough, the no-knead bread recipe from the New York Times. it smells great, tastes delicious, and got me to start buying yeast.

Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'

I was making banana bread and accidentally used 1 tablespoon each of baking soda and salt, instead of 1 teaspoon each. I ended up with a frothing salty disaster in my oven.
