Apr 6th, 2009 at 1:00PM: I love to cook. Whether it's pizza, hot dogs or well-seasoned steaks, I kick up quite a storm in the SkyMall Monday kitchen. But you can't even begin to imagine the mess that I make. Most of my kitchen adventures result in me being covered in mayonnaise and bleeding profusely. With my hands full of salamis and Rocky Mountain oysters, I have a hard time tearing off sheets of paper towel. The roll ...SkyMall Monday: Pop-Up Hot Dog Cooker

It's a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma on a toasted bun. Thankfully, our favorite catalog has, once again, come to the rescue. ...SkyMall Monday: Baseball Bat Pepper Grinder
Jan 19th, 2009 at 1:00PM: Here at SkyMall Monday headquarters, I love to host barbecues and dinner parties for my SkyMall Maniac friends. Typically, I grill up some of my custom-branded steaks, chill some beers and enjoy the good times. But lately my friends have been complaining that my steaks are bland. That they're poorly seasoned. In fact, there's talk of not attending my parties anymore and instead hanging out with ...The new face of army food
Jan 11th, 2009 at 5:00PM: The U.S. Culinary Arts Team ... yes, there is such a thing ... faced an incredible challenge. The team had to cook 150 three-course meals in six hours without the benefit of a real kitchen. The crew had to work "in the field" – as the army calls being away from the plumbing, walls and heat of the barracks – which is never an easy task. The IKA/Culinary Olympics, which occurred back in ...Vahrehvah.com: A superb resource for Indian cooking
Oct 16th, 2008 at 12:00PM: Finding this Indian cooking website has changed my world. I can cook basic Indian food, thanks to my mum, but when it comes to anything a little complicated, I get a lazy -- especially because (from experience) -- after a hours of work, the end result has not been worth the effort. I would also blame the disaster dish on me living in Spain: "All the spices are not available and what are available ...One for the Road: Where Flavor Was Born

Aug 22nd, 2007 at 2:00PM: This is a continuation of yesterday's column on the Subtle Art of Eating Blowfish, and the second installment in a three-part series.
The best time to eat fugu is in the winter, when blowfish pack on the pounds to beat the chill. Needless to say, this is also when the toxicity of the blowfish reaches its peak.
Prices rise. Restaurants are packed. Emergency rooms are on stand-by.
