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 >

Simple French Food

By Richard Olney, Patricia Wells, James Beard
Wiley - 1992

This is the kind of recipe that I just love. It is simple but fun to make, it results in a dish that is both flavorful and pretty to look at. It also takes advantage of the bounty of the summer season (zucchini, tomatoes, basil). I made only a few changes, using tilapia instead of sole, and cutting my zucchini coins in half as I prefer bite-sized vegetables. Next time I might add a bit more tomato and possibly a hint of thyme while sauteing the veggies prior to baking them with the fish. But maybe not ... I might decide I don't want to mess with it too much.
