BEST: Ina Garten. Lemon pound cake, barbecued chicken, Chinese chicken salad, filet of beef Bourguinnone. I’m sure I have made others, but this is what comes to mind. Also, her food is what I most want to try. I just made a...

's Kitchen Bouquet – divided into chapters by spice, etc. - lemon, clove, almond, coffee, pepper, etc. A truly great book.- this one’s even older, 1979! I made his peach and almond upside down cake for work the other...

English muffins are not English and you don’t find them over there. The closest thing would be a crumpet. I like milk in some tea. some tea I prefer black or with lemon. I like Earl Grey and the very smoky Lapsang Souchong....

This is what being a Chowhound means to me. Occasionally you will mix something that doesn’t work on any level, but they you have that rare EUREKA synthesis when it seems so obvious but nobody understand. Those are the...

an aquired, but sacred, Motown taste. Cold it’s rereshing and in winter it was actually sold as a cold soother, served hot with sliced lemon. Every kid who was sick got Vernor’s (though I, of a New Yorker mother, got...

for their secrets. We recently embarked on a quest to perfect caesar dressing at home, but we can’t seem to get it right. All the recipes we’ve tried, including yours in How to Cook Everything, include the same basic...

dressing is so easy – sour cream, cheese, lemon juice. But, hey, we’re improving on bar snacks... Those of you complaining about LA wings, we want DETAILED comparisons, not just yelp-like ‘xxxx is better that...

pilgrimage to Artisanal to gaze at cheese (I’m a cheesemonger as well as an actor here in Chicago) I stumbled upon Peaberry somewhere in the 30’s. Eureka! Frozen yogurt that actually tastes like yogurt. In both plain and green...

at Eureka in Studio City. Always good and fun for not so much $$ Sushi: Nozawa or Tama. Nozawa’s my first choice always but hubby grew up on Katsu, so we switch off. Mexican: Casita Taco in NoHo or Burbank for grilled shrimp...

boats off Bodega Bay. The extra depth and sweetness of flavor of crabs and salmon caught from Half Moon Bay up to Eureka is attributed to the gentle slope of the continental shelf off our coast which provides a home for a rich...

closer to home, the chickens in the front of Drewes Brothers butcher shop (Church & 29th) are pretty good and I think are free range. You might want to call ahead and reserve one. I occasionally wind up at Firewood on 18th &...
