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 >

Sunday Suppers at Lucques: Seasonal Recipes from Market to Table

By Suzanne Goin, Teri Gelber
Knopf - 2005

It is hard to beat my favorite recipe for sprouts (halve them, toss with EVOO, salt and pepper, and roast about 20-25 minutes in a 400 degree oven) BUT this is pretty delicious and easy. Had to tweak it to what I had in the house (onion instead of shallot, and chicken rather than veal stock), but the result didn't disappoint. No need to use your top-of-the-line balsamic here but I wouldn't use a real low-end version either.
