I've just made a lovely marinade with this Korean ground pepper--any other ideas/recipes out there to recommend that uses it?

Any recommendations from NYC chowhounds? I had the most remarkable cuttlefish risotto in Vienna and would like to try it at home--thanks!

thanks budlit and MMruth!

thanks to all!

Any suggestions? Brooklyn and Queens work too...

Hi, I bought a bag of fregola and want any chowhound tips/recipes--thanks!

anybody know where I can get fresh cardoons? I haven't seen them this winter--thanks!

thank you all! two quick follow-up questions--any suggestions on the best preparation or a dish to use them in? I've got ideas already but would appreciate it if you have any thoughts on this. We plan also to have a citrus tasting looking at near-neighbors/predecessors to the grapefruit and to varieties of grapefruit.

Any recommendations in Manhattan or Queens? thanks!

After reading the article in the Times food section this past Wednesday, I'd like to try cooking on slate, but I don't have a fireplace (Brooklyn apartment...). Can anyone recommend a pierrade appliance? Thanks

Does anyone know where to get imported Sardinian ricotta in the New York area? Thanks!

o, and while i like alibris, you should also try abebooks.

thanks to you all, and keep 'em coming!

Hi, I'm trying to improve the section of my cookbook collection devoted to regional Italian cookbooks. I have several that deal with the country in its post-Garibaldi whole, but few dedicated to Sicily, Sardinia, etc. Any tips would be welcome! Thanks

whoa! where on Grand is that? And JMF, thanks a ton for the info! 25 cents a pound is really sad--I don't know how the fishermen can do it.

I read elsewhere that the season is from Dec. through April. They were very fragile, to be sure! I generally like the quality of Citerella and Garden of Eden over Whole Foods for seafood, so I'll check in at Citerella and see what they've got--a bit disturbing that WF takes the heads off. I imagine it affects the flavor of the shrimp somewhat.

Tried these last night--$7.99 a pound at Garden of Eden. They're excellent--sweet, and perfect boiled w/water, wine vinegar, and celery, then tossed with olive oil and lemon. Question: This is the first time I noticed them in New York. Have I been missing out for years? I thought they were available only in Maine and Boston.
