Cook the Book: The River Cottage Cookbook
I grow herbs on the porch, but if I had the space, I would so grow tomatoes. And if I lived on the west coast, I'd want a fig tree.
Cook the Book: Nigella Express
I like to make a lot of pizza dough on the weekends and then freeze it for the week. What is faster and more versatile than a pizza?
Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway
I can never resist Cadbury creme eggs. As a child, I used to get the large ones in my Easter basket. Now, if I can help it, I try to only eat a few of the minis, which are super addictive. It's probably best that they're only available around Easter!

Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
He encouraged everyone to eat less meat and I took that message to heart. I now eat a lot less chicken and pork and I've cut all beef out of my diet.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Fortune Cookie Chronicles'
"Alas! You are the apple of my eye." I still have this one, I thought it was so funny. I love fortunes that aren't actually fortunes, but instead are odd compliments that seem to come from the cookie itself.

genoa salami and cornichons, with a little butter on a baguette. The perfect quick warm sandwich!
Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'
Like many others, my mother taught me the cooking basics. As a child, while all my friends were drinking kool-aid and eating frozen pizzas, my mother was teaching me how to can tomatoes from the garden or make a bechemel sauce. At the time, all I wanted was to enjoy a bowl of Capt'n Crunch with my friends instead of the quiche lorraine I ate for breakfast. Today, I wax nostalgic about those early cooking lessons whenever I fuss around the kitchen at my mother's house. I still consider her the best cook I know.

Eat less meat, but more vegetables & fruits. Quick & simple home cooked meals are possible every night. Stock your pantry with great staples that you will actually use. No knead bread is addictive.

His interview on NPR was great. He made me think of eating in a more responsible way. In some ways it is better to eat local raised meats than imported produce. That kinda shocked me. We really need to think about the chemicals involved in transport and packaging foods.

I like his emphasis on fresh produce because I'm always looking for fast, tasty recipes using produce that are also healthy and not loaded with fat.
Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
To stop eating so much food that is processed and eat more veggies. I tore out my whole back yard lawn and put in an edible garden last summer. Also I've cut out a lot of meat in my diet.

Less butter and more proteins

Mr. Bittman showed me that I can revel in cooking amazing food in my thimble-sized kitchen with apartment-sized oven & refrigerator. He also cured me of my processed food love -- no more canned stock & beans & many more fresh whole foods. My boyfriend & I both thank him heartily for both of these grand gifts!
