Serious Eats: tereza's Profile

I spent three pre-dawn hours parked in front of a french bakery in Providence, RI to purchase - not baguettes - but palmiers: the best best best french pastry. I bought a dozen and ate them all.

Cook the Book: 'The Sweeter Side of Amy's Bread'

40 years ago I copied a recipe from a bag of flour for "can-do" cookies. They were plain rollout sugar cookies that could be adapted as drop cookies or chip cookies or peanut butter cookies or raisin cookies or... The magic of the recipe was that it called for all ingredients to be dumped at once into the mixer and just beaten til combined. Then you could add ingredients, roll it out and bake, or make a log for the refrigerator and bake small batches in the toaster oven. Now, these are not distinguished cookies, but they are fast and easy, and they hit the spot!

Cook the Book: 'Fat'

New england style baked beans with a deeply scored hunk of salt pork floating on top, browned on the edges and melting into the beans. Slurp it up—sweet and salt and unctuous—perfect!

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Marcella Remembers'

I spare myself the typing by quoting danlevy above:

"Oh, that is easy! it's the Arrosto di maiale al latte, which the first commenter mentioned too. That is just a superb dish, almost infallible, and totally unlike anything I'd eaten before. But Marcella's recipe for Ragu Bolognese is also perfect."

I make both of these regularly.

Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'

I made one of those New York cheesecakes: 8 packages of cream cheese, I don't remember how many eggs, thick graham-cracker crust. I put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 500 degrees...and took it out an hour later. It had an inch-thick crust, black as a charcoal brickette.

I tore it open and ate the creamy center, hot as blazes.
