Cook the Book: 'Think Like a Chef'

Pan roasting. It's relatively quick and you can make a great sauce in minutes.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters

Since I live in the midwest where bagels are different, I always try and get lox and bagels when I'm in New York.

Eggs benedict are hard to beat no matter where I am.

Win Your Thanksgiving Turkey!

Turkey pot pie, but not in a healthy way, one with a great pastry crust.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Elements of Cooking'

It's gotta be seasoning. It can literally transform food from dull to sublime. Poor seasoning can kill a dish that's techiquely perfect in every other way.

Weekend Book Giveaway: Judith Jones's 'The Tenth Muse'

Julia Child, for a whole host of reasons, clearly I think the collaboration between Judith and Julia took cookbooks to new heights.

Houston's Doesn't Suck: What's Your Favorite Slightly Fancy Chain Restaurant?

My preferred chain is Il Fornio. What I look for in a good chain is evidence that there's someone in the kitchen who seems to really care about what good food tastes like. I work in advertising and marketing and have worked for chain restaurants and I think it's very clear when marketing is more important than the food. PF Changs is okay, but they also have a sister French concept called Salut which has serious problems with food and service.
