SC - Chicory in coffee - OOT

[lilinah@earthlink.net]

Oh, I am so sorry, but I just cannot stand Emeril.  If I hear him say BAM one 
more time I will just scream  :-)  And I got enough Cayenne pepper and spices 
in foods when I worked as a cook at the Waterford #3 Nuclear Power Plant west 
of New Orleans.  I had to learn a whole new language down there:  i.e. I had 
someone order Ham and cheese on Slice.  I looked at them and asked "A slice 
of what?"  Everyone roared.  Seems "Slice" refers to "white bread"...as in "a 
slice of white bread".

For me, my favorite cooking shows where I learn are:
Taste with David Rosengarten.  On Taste he takes just one food and tells me 
the history and everything I would want to know about it, then prepares a 
number of dishes using it.    

Cooking Live with Sara Moulton.  Where she actually makes the dishes live on 
TV and you can call in with questions.

East meet West with Ming Tsai.  Just because I like to.  I usually don't eat 
food like he cooks.

AND the IRON CHEF... just 'cause I HAVE to.  I'm hooked... like a drug.

<< One thing that might help some of you new Cooks, is watching "Emeril Live"
 on Food TV. I had been meaning to mention this to Stefan in his search to
 become a better cook, but since we've had a couple of other new cooks
 stepping forward on the List, I thought I might make it a general
 suggestion.
 
 Not only is Emeril very entertaining, he explains quite a bit about what
 techniques he's using, and why,  (rest snipped)
