Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'

My first cookbook memory would have to be my Mom flipping through the Silver Palette Cookbook. The recipes in that book remind me of my childhood and bring back nothing but happy, comfy, and delicious memories.

New York City Wine and Food Festival: Ticket Giveaway, 'Pulse of the Wine World'

South African Chenin Blanc. Never experimented with it before until I got a nudge from Gary Vaynerchuk on an episode of Wine Library. Love it!! http://eatandgreet.blogspot.com/2009/08/wine-and-cheese.html

Weekend Cook and Tell: Anchovies

shred up two good-sized zucchini and add it to a pan of sauteed yellow onion. add in an entire can of mashed anchovies with plenty of grated garlic, a dash of red pepper flakes and allow to soften and melt. dump in a pound of cooked spaghetti with a dash of the cooking water and stir to coat. finish with plenty of parsley and fresh mint. seriously yummy pasta dish hot or room temperature that'll turn anchovy-haters into anchovy-lovers (they won't be able to tell what the fantastically salty bite is).

Favorite frozen entrees?

OMG, I can't believe I forgot. Frozen Mystic Pizzas absolutely, positively, hands down take the cake. AMAZING.

Favorite frozen entrees?

While mortified about this admission, I will say that Lean Cuisine's Macaroni and Cheese is a pretty darn good last minute resort (when NOTHING is in the fridge) that's low on calories. I always bump mine up with half a clove of grated garlic and some hot sauce. Don't judge. Just try.
