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 >

Tyler's Ultimate: Brilliant Simple Food to Make Any Time

By Tyler Florence
Clarkson Potter - 2006

The quality of this dish depends to a great extent on the quality of the strip steaks. Ours were pretty good and so this easy dish turned out to be a nice Sunday night supper. We grilled rather than sauteed the steaks. Tyler's recipe calls for whole mushrooms which is what I did -- but next time I make this I will quarter or slice them both for ease of eating and for presentation.

The Ultimate Berry Trifle : page 222

Absolutely delicious. There are never any leftovers and we have had houseguests actually ask to have this dessert two nights running.
