Panko (Japanese crumbs) comes to mind.

I think you are right. Thanks

Aloo Gobi (spiced potatoes and cauliflower) are my very favourite. (ed. Aloo Gobi Masala) Cauliflower and Potatoes with Black Mustard Seeds are a close second. Anyone knows the Indian name for these?

Poulet de Bresse never met Tyson...

1) Vietnamese Chicken and mint; 2) Gingery-hot Duck salad; 3) Tom Yam soup with Tiger Prawns.

To eat Indian food Sorry, just couldn't resist!

I tried Thomas Keller's (The French Laundry Cookbook). I never looked back! Edited to add: The only thing I changed: I roast the veggies first! YUM

NO SNACKING! It's a bad habit...

It is a well known fact among BBQ circles that boiling ribs ensures that the BBQ sauce used will not be tainted by the flavor of pork... I was referring to TENDERNESS, not HYGIENE!

Parboiling ribs for so-called tenderness is one of the biggest cooking myths! Another one is that real chile contains beans! it does not! "Don't salt meat before cooking, it will dry it out!"

The absolute for me are Picholines confites; they are so addictive, right out of the jar! I also love tapenade (green or black) on crusty bread I enjoy olives with pasta and pizza as well! The next best thing would be chocolate! BTW, I found a pie recipe, en français! Scroll down the page to find La Croustade Clermontaise
