About me: I can't be the only person who starts thinking about what to cook next while I am doing the dishes for the meal I just finished eating ... right?

Favorite cookbook: I flirt with all of them. But I am a sucker for good writing and great pictures.

Favorite recipe: Pretty much any combo of good bread and great cheese.

Slow-Roasted Tomatoes from One Good Dish

A dish that could not be simpler to make, and absolutely delicious. Topped the cooled tomato with a room temperature slice of mozzarella drizzled with EVOO and some ribbons of basil. A real treat. read more >

Barefoot in Paris: Easy French Food You Can Make at Home

By Ina Garten
Clarkson Potter - 2004

This is the Contessa cookbook I turn to most often both for dinner parties and for family meals at home. The book itself (like all of Ina's) is beautiful to look at. But more important, the recipes are reliably delicious and the photos inspire the home cook to make food that it as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to eat. The blue cheese souffle is to die for.
