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.

Each recipe is preceded by an introduction (often explaining the origin of the dish or identifying the source of the recipe). Most are followed by really useful prep tips, sources for ingredients, variations, and uses for leftovers.
