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.
