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 >

Terrines and Verrines

By Frank Pontais
Food Creation - 2008

I think an experienced cook could have some fun with this book, but even experienced cooks would need to approach these recipes pretty cautiously. More than most cookbooks, I'd recommend reading the recipes pretty carefully in advance and deciding if the steps/process/techniques used seem likely to give a good result. On the other hand, I think a lot of the recipes here might inspire some really creative dishes.
