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 >

Tasty and very quick -- it's a nice lunch if someone drops by unexpectedly, especially if you have jarred red peppers on hand rather than roasting fresh red peppers as the recipe calls for. I used fire-roasted canned tomatoes and added half an onion to the recipe as well. The flavor of the fresh ingredients is enhanced by roasted red chili paste and red wine vinegar. I left the soup pretty chunky, using a hand blender rather than a regular blender. I finished the soup with crumbled goat cheese although the recipe didn't call for it.

I suspect the leftovers might be reduced a bit and make a nice sauce for a roasted or grilled white fish.
