Perhaps you've stumbled on some 2011 cooking trends -- could 2011 be the year of Pad Thai? Risotto? Here are a few of our favorite tweets, and some recipes to get started on your culinary goals.
@ kitsunehime21 I want to learn to make risotto and bake red velvet cupcakes!
Who knew risotto would be so popular? Why wouldn't it be -- this rich, velvety dish is fancy enough for a dinner party or holiday, but simple enough for a weeknight meal. And it can be made year-round, flavored with seasonal produce, fish, meat -- whatever your pleasure. (Oh, and @ kitsunehime21, try Paula's Red Velvet Cupcakes!)
@ Mrsjdroberts4, @ LCobbies and @ hdbernard are all dying to learn to make Pad Thai at home, they each chimed in with a resounding "Pad Thai!"
