I can't help it. I am a fan of The Minimalist (Mark Bittman) of The New York Times. I am. I just am.
I love watching a short video and turning around and making something fantastic. Or getting a quick tip or inspiration for a completely different dish.
I think I might make this for lunch!
Bittman's How to Cook Everything and Best Recipes of the World are two of my go-to books -- great recipes, great organization, great indecies, etc. I was also given his vegetarian cookbook, which is also quite good, but it's a bit redundant with the other books I have. Oh, and I also have his book on Fish, which is great (but also not really necessary given the excellent reference material on fish in HTCE). Bittman rocks. I've never seen him on TV or anything, though, so don't know how he comes across off the paper (I've heard he's a bit obnoxious? Well, if so, I can't really call the kettle black....)
