I too am an Ellie fan. Came across her show by chance and am now hooked. I've made a bunch of her recipes lately both from her Food Network show and also from her cookbook. If you haven't tried them yet, do because they were delicious! Roasted Red Pepper with Feta Fettucine Thai coconut curry halibut Salmon with Sweet & Spicy Rub (make the lentil dish that accompanies it--so good!) Sloppy Joe's (hated these as a kid but hers have almost a chili texture and taste to them) Chicken Chop Suey (another I didn't care for as a kid but this had all the flavor and crunch with the grease) Now I must run out to get some portabellos.

The La Cruset cast iron pot is the best thing. It distributes heat perfectly when cooking ... it makes everything you cook delicious and tender .... it's hands down one of the best kitchen tools in the world : - ) Yeah, risotto is good that you can pretty much through everything except the kitchen sink! I ate two bowls full of it before the 10k run, and ate some more after! I'm all carbed out but it was worth it! Love, Hirono Hi Saori!
