Bittman’s New Digs

7 Mar

So, who’s been keeping up with Mark Bittman’s new opinion blog? Tackling the intersection of food and politics, I think it’s solid, and seems to be getting better each week–the discussion it sparked over McDonald’s oatmeal offering seemed insightful and informed, with Bittman himself being taken to task and responding in kind.

For those looking for something more like the old Minimalist column, check out the debut of the Times’ Sunday Magazine’s new food section. In this week’s column, Bittman lays the groundwork with a dozen non-recipes for soup. Work your way through them, Bittman says, and you’ll never need another vegetable soup recipe again. A great plan for setting readers up to think on their feet and create their own recipes. Can’t wait to see what more is to come from Bittman in the Sunday Magazine.

Things We Ate In Italy

Dusting off the ol’ blog to write about some things that I ate in Florence and around Tuscany last month. Or, 2 months ago. July 16th-20th, 2014. Michael and I were there for about 5 days at the end of July. Below are some of the highlights. Bear with me, because this is kind of long, and it’s kind of also the travel journal I was too lazy to keep up with while we were on the road.

Other Books: The New Basics

I received a press copy of How to Cook Everything: The Basics weeks ago, and I meant to write about it right away. But I found myself stymied. Because I think that what Bittman and his team may have unleashed upon us here is a book so good that it could replace the full edition. […]
