Cookbooks For Christmas

My Christmas loot included three great cookbooks:

* Real Cajun by Donald Link
* Italian Easy - Recipes From the London River Cafe by Rose Gray and Roth Rogers
* Jean-Georges: Cooking At Home with a Four-Star Chef by Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Mark Bittman

Three very different types of cuisine with one connecting theme: simple, flavorful dishes for the home cook.  I spent yesterday reading them, cover to cover, and am really looking forward to digging back in and putting them to good use in the new year.

If you have cooked out of any of them, can you recommend a favorite recipe?
