of cambridge1 though i think in the fairly bleak landscape of harvard square (which has really good indian food but not many other choices for non-expensive fare), it stands out. finally, i think flour in the south end is good...

Thanks for all the replies. I tried this method of baking bread out of curiosity. I will go back to the way I baked bread in the past. My ciabatta loaves were crusty with fermentation pockets, and good taste. They were formed by...

from Bittman – either How to Cook Ev or Best Recipes in the World). They were all very good, but of course needed to be cooked at the last possible minute. I also made a sort of raita/chutney of yoghurt, mint, garlic, green...

roast (using my slightly semi-ho but so good recipe from my grandmother, involving browning the meat, and putting in the crockpot with some carrots and onions and 1 can golden mushroom soup and 1 packet Lipton’s onion soup...

Linda, I’m with you on BOTH—good (bad!) call. And at this point, I can’t even vouch for the texture of the liver anymore, the memory of the smell alone is enough to make me want to vomit. Limas feel as though...

good hors d’ouevres between what I made and what friends brought, that I wound up not putting everything on the grill that I had planned on grilling. Too many tasty morsels to choose from. If it weren’t for the kids...

The problem with you people from California is, ya got no cultcha, and by cultcha I mean "good" pizza, dunkin' donuts coffee, whole belly clams, and wicked big “scorpion bowls”.

- deep-fry (too messy and smelly) - make puff pastry (too fiddly and time-consuming; store-bought is good enough) How about you?

, or maybe specifically chinese- (north) americans, grew up eating at home. what’s the good stuff that’s not in the restaurants? i guess i’m asking folks what chinese home cooking is. what did moms and grandmoms...

the recipe, I chopped up the little peppers, and I threw in a little extra for good measure. My poor husband, who was gone for a good 14 hours a day in those days due to commuting, came home ready for supper, and I proudly served...

to put it, bad cook. I didn’t really start to understand the pleasure of a good meal until I was on my own and moved to the west coast. What’s your story?

For me, as a child, it was also maple syrup on snow, venison (which just sounded good - I didn’t know where the meat came from), and the pork cracklins from Little House On the Prairie as well as the Turkish Delight from...
