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 >

Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

By Marcella Hazan
Knopf - 1992

Full disclosure ... I have no memory of making this soup but a note from 1996 on the margin of the page in my handwriting says that it was "excellent" -- looking at the ingredient list, I have no doubt that it was. Save your Parmesan rinds to throw into this one ... or whatever your favorite minestrone is (another good one is in the New Basics by Lukens and Rosso).

A classic version of a great soup. Great winter meal with a green salad and good bread.
