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 >

Tom Douglas' Seattle Kitchen

We really liked the straightforward flavour of this simple soup, although we both would have liked a smoother texture (next time I'll add the roasted squash to the broth and put in the blender after cooking, rather than following the recipe's food processor method).

But the herb mix of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme really sings (sorry, bad joke) -- but it's delicious and the thyme creme fraiche is a great accent.

Arugula w/ a lemony vinaigrette and topped with smoked salmon was a nice complement to the soup.
