1. I was inspired by their passion for cooking. It totally inspired me to spend more time in the kitchen cooking quality meals!

2. I would definitely use the dutch oven to cook No-Knead Bread. It looks so good, but I don’t have anything that can withstand the really high temperature it requires to bake it.

I was inspired by the simplicity of the food and how a few flavorful ingredients and some patience can make something so beautiful (and yummy). That fresh rosemary got to me in particular; I could almost smell it!

As far as the dutch oven goes, I love to cook with wine, so my first instinct is to make a Coq au Vin or some such hearty stew. Then again, it’s almost summer and the farmers markets are starting to fill up with such lovely produce; I might be compelled to go with a vegetable soup or maybe even strawberry jam!

Oh wow this looks amazing. Not to seem like a suck up, but I think I would make this!

Most inspiring- probably the countryside! Wow! Or the way the cows are treated. Not so up my alley is the cooking with marrow! I’d probably taste it if someone made it, but make it myself…eeek!

I found the ingredients and the culture of Italy very inspiring. The food is simple and rustic and the personality of Dario, and I would assume most of Italy, is warm and inviting. What a wonderful place to visit.
I would probably make a braised beef or pork dish first. I can’t think of a better way to break in a new Dutch Oven.

Of course, by “by,” I meant “buy.” It’s too early!

1) I find Dario’s incredible passion most inspiring. His gestures, his voice, everything about him expresses his love for wholesome and well-crafted food. His thoughtful approach to food makes me want to go out and by some marrow to experiment with!

2) As a testament to another passionate and inspiring cook, my first meal would be Beef Bourguignon.

not being a meat-eater i can’t say i found the meal itself very inspiring. however, i do very much embrace the concept of good quality food prepared simply as being the basis of great cooking. and i did love the horses also – they looked both strong in gentle.

not sure what i would make in the dutch oven 1st – something w/ veggies and noodles perhaps. or a fruit cobbler since the summer fruits are just coming into season here.

I found Dario most inspiring. He is a man who knows his meat. Over his lifetime he as accumulated so much knowledge about meat, that he can look at any cut and immediately tell you the best way to prepare it. Without the help of his cookbooks or Google. I aspire to know that much about one ingredient. To have cooked it every way, to have made the best of it, and to have made the worst of it.

What would I make with my new Dutch oven? My mom’s pot roast recipe. Every time I make it I tweak it a bit, but it’s never as good as I remember hers to be.
