I have a new cast iron grill pan. I see you often use one on your show, and was wondering if you could suggest the best way for me to use mine. I have an electric cook top and I always see you use your grill pan on gas. Please advise and many thanks. - Adam C. You may have heard the term misery loves company. Well scoot over on the couch because I have an electric cook top too. That gas cook top you see me using? Unfortunately, it's in the TV studio kitchen and not at my house.

It's been a busy week for SCHOP! this week with weekly clients, small home events and trying to have a little personal fun myself. However, it was all very "Celestine Prophecy" there is no such thing as coincidence. It started when I went to my homegirl Dane's potluck birthday party. It's the best because we all bring something and try to outdo the next one. It's comedy really. At the behest of the birthday girl I just brought a Carvel cake (which are fabulous with those little crunchies). Marj brought her marinated Asian apricot wings, Lisa her baked beans, Nichelle her potato salad and Shena whipped up a delicious salad of arugula, pistachios, tomatoes and dried cranberries. The grill was poppin' with chicken, shrimp and Omaha Steaks' hotdogs and hamburgers. I had a "wile out" session...

This past weekend, SCHOP! had a client event in Harlem. It was called a "BBQ Graduation Party." I menuplanned all of the items I was going to put on the grill; however, when I went over for the initial consultation, there was no grill. Plan B: Bring my trusty cast iron grill/griddle and work that oven to the ground! For dessert, [Bryan] made cupcakes, chocolate and vanilla, with butter cream frosting and peach cobbler. And I can't forget about my favorite Bryan-creation: his lemon chiffon that starts with his amazing fresh lemon curd, mixed with organic (Bryan wouldn't have it any other way) whipped cream. The chiffon was served over a delicious berry salad. I could bathe in it! The strawberries at Fairway were so sweet this week, too. [Kysha Harris] is owner and operator of SCHOP! SCHO...

Ah the panini. As a chef, I think of them basically as toasted cheese sandwiches. A panini sandwich is cooked between two "clamshell style" cast iron grill grates called a panini grill which leaves these beautiful grill marks on the bread. Served at upscale coffee shops and cafes everywhere, the panini sandwich has taken this country by storm. Crunchy buttery bread on the outside, fillings like roasted beef, turkey, ham, grilled vegetables and cheese welcome your taste buds with every bite. Now, I reahze not everyone has a panini grill, so let's improvise shall we? It is time to get back out those George Foreman Grills people! A few words ago, I mentioned "clamshell style" grill. I am referring to a machine that has two hot sides that can cook something fast and evenly. A George Foreman...

Iranians of all sects begin their New Year on March 21, the day known as Noruz. Preparations are made weeks ahead: seeds (usually lentils or kernels of wheat) are planted in pots to produce the first sprouts of the season, new clothing is purchased and decorative cloths are chosen to be spread on carpets or tables. Three days before the equinox a formal display known as haft-sinn is created. It is a collection of seven foods-all beginning with the letter "s"-and symbolic objects such as eggs, coins, candles and mirrors, live goldfish in bowls and a fragrant flowering plant. The holiday lasts for 13 days, with bonfires and picnics, games and family gatherings. Dinner consumed on March 21 is rich with meats in stews, meatballs, and grilled bits and always there is sabzi pollo, rice cooked...

Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl with your clean hands and shape in to patties. Balsamic burgers will taste the best if you can grill them. If you do not have a grill, invest into a cast iron grill pan. (You can find a great one very inexpensively at Kmart for about twenty dollars.) Burgers also taste great fried in a pan. Just cook the burgers on each side for about 5 minutes for a medium well burger!

For many people, the most popular way to prepare corn on the cob is to dip it into boiling water. However, I've come to appreciate roasting corn, which seems to intensify its flavor. Roasting can be done on the grill, in the oven or in a cast-iron skillet on the stove. Ronni Marcinkowey, chef at Luna Grille in Canton, Ohio, roasted corn on the cob to create a corn salsa, which she gave away to customers on opening day of the Canton Farmer's Market.

Panini, those perfectly grilled Italian sandwiches, make a great simple supper for dreary winter nights. And you dont need a panini press to make them. The quality of bread and filling ingredients are key, point out Jennifer and Jason Denton in Simple Italian Sandwiches, written with Kathryn Kellinger. The Dentons, owners of a popular panino bar in New York called ino, provide a primer on creating your own. We started with mortadella, which originally hails from Bologna, namesake of the lesser American version, baloney. To that we added cheese and perked it all up with a simple roasted pepper spread. Menu * Mortadella, provolone and roasted pepper panino * Fennel and carrot slaw * Olives * Raspberry sorbetto Tips Find mortadella pork sausage studded with bits of fat, peppercorns and so...

Now that Memorial Day has come and gone, let the summer grilling season officially begin! Not that we haven't already been searing all sorts of goodies over an outdoor flame, despite all the rain we've had. But sunnier days are coming (surely?) so it's time to start giving the grill a real workout.
