FFoF on Thursday #35

Filed Under FFoF |

Yes, I know it’s Four Foods on Friday but in case anyone wants to join in the fun at Val’s place then you can hop on over and post your answers tomorrow, Friday.  Got it?  Here’s this week’s questions:

#1. Name one cookbook, cooking website or food blog that you frequently use. 

I collect cookbooks but don’t use them TOO often.  I know, weird.  But one I always use come holiday time is the tried and true Better Homes and Garden Cookbook that almost everyone started out on.  Great sugar and gingerbread cookie recipes.

#2. Do you watch any cooking shows on tv? Which ones?  I live for Food Network!  (Which you would know if you saw I was at a taping of a Food Network show…hee hee)  I stay away from Rachael Ray and Bobby Flay because both annoy the heck out of me even Paula Deen is starting to grate a bit (it’s the laugh) but I’m pretty game for anything else.  I have an unhealthy obsession for the show Diners, Drive In’s and Dives and while it’s not a traditional cooking show, I have picked up some good tips from it!  (I’m still really peeved that they gave Emeril the ax)

#3. Are you in a cooking rut?  Name a food or dish that you’d like to find a recipe for. 

Not really but I’m always looking for a new way to make chicken.  I’m getting sick of stir fries, quesadillas or just baked/fried chicken so anyone things they’ve got a pretty slick way of cooking up the cluckers, feel free to leave a recipe!

#4. Share a recipe created by somebody else that you haven’t tried but would like to.

I’ve got a personally autographed cookbook from Rocco DiSpirito that I would like to make something from.  Some of his ingredients require a little digging but I need to get off the rump and try them. 

Here’s one for you: Martini Bianco Marinated Salmon with a Lemon and Basil Fresh Breadcrumb Crust

    I like to collect cookbooks that I never use also. Maybe I’ll look at them today. :-)

    [...] Anele shared a recipe for Martini Bianco Marinated Salmon with a Lemon and Basil Fresh Breadcrumb Cr…. She isn’t looking for a specific type of chicken recipe but is willing to check out some new ones. [...]

    I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me for not liking Rachel Ray! I’m glad I have company because she is one annoying lady!

    I thought that Emeril wanted to retire. ??

    It’s all part of their edging out the “old” Emeril and Mario Batali (who quickly found another job as well) for the ‘fresh faces’ they’re inundating us with now. They cancelled Emeril Live (though they’ll still be airing it for awhile, it wrapped up filming in Dec) and he’ll still host Essence of Emeril for a year. (Which isn’t watched as much as Emeril Live) Then they kind of threw him a bone like “you can still be involved in creating some stuff.” Then Martha swooped in and paid $50 mil for the rights to his cookbooks, ccokware and shows. She’s no dummy. ;)
