cooking habits

I grew up barbecuing in a big Texas backyard, but I don't have the same luxury today. Now I live in the densely populated city of San Francisco, where it can be hard to find a place for a grill. I've even come across a number of San Francisco denizens cooking on the fire escape! My friend Conway — who doesn't have any outside space at all in his posh condo — even lent me his gas grill, since he has nowhere to put it. Where do you grill?

Where Do You Grill?

On a porch.

In the backyard.

In public spaces.

On my fire escape.

Other — I'll tell you below.

I don't have anywhere to grill.

Some serious pizza tools aren't the only items I've been coveting for my kitchen; lately, AlexisSF has been raving about her wok, and it's making me want one, too. Do you own one?

Do You Cook With a Wok?

Yes

No

There's nothing like a weekend of fresh culinary shows to inspire the cook in you — and this morning, PartySugar was gushing about a recipe for Whole Duck with Green Peppercorn Glaze that chef Alex Guarnaschelli made yesterday on her show, Alex's Day Off. She mentioned that even though the recipe looked easy, she'd never made duck at home before. It left me wondering: How many of you have prepared duck at home?
