Cookbooks you shouldn't have purchased...which books just didn't work for you?
i have taken to scanning the good ones into PDF files, and print out a copy whenever I go to make it. This way, the book doesn't get (any more) splatters, and the spine doesn't crack.
Wanted to know the Best and Worst Restaurants of Greenwich, Ct?

Any Thoughts on This Year's Beaujolais?
Please realize that I am 'tasting between the lines' when evaluating the Nouveau, or as it is more properly called, Beaujolais Preimeur. I just like to try a couple in November, to get a sense of what they will be like next year.
Any Thoughts on This Year's Beaujolais?
I won't apologize. I've been a Beaujolais fan since I was 5 years old, living in Paris.
It's fun & cheap, and perfectly fine with a variety of home-cooked meals.
and the dirty little secret is that it makes a Boeuf Bourgignonne and a Coq au Vin with the best of em.
I had the 2008 tonite and feel that it's a good solid B or maybe a B+
Any thoughts...?
wine bar around Bastille
Despite its reputation as a brasserie, and I will confess it's been a number of years for me, I seem to recall Bofinger as having a nice selection of wines by the glass.
what was the best dish you made/ate this summer?
Phyllo-wrapped Salmon: interesting. lose the peppers, add some julienned carrot, zucchini, &c, swap tarragon for the basil, increase the amount of butter (!!!) and imagine that you're in Tours...
what was the best dish you made/ate this summer?
HONESTLY? this is gonna sound disgusting, but... Wagyu NY Strip Steaks on the grill. with top-notch sweet corn on the cob on the side.

Good cookbook for a new cook?
The James Beard Cookbook. Covers it ALL, and simply enough for a novice.
'Print Recipe' Feature Doesn't Work
When click the 'Print' icon on a recipe to print it, if the Instructions extend past the end of Page 1, the rest of the recipe is lost. The next page begins with the Comments. Is there any solution to this, other than copying and pasting the recipe to a program that knows how to print correctly?
Thai recipes?
tom kha gai--chicken and coconut-milk soup--can be outrageously good! i also like penang curry, i usually make with beef.
