You'd never believe this, but I can go for months without thinking about Mark Bittman. I know. Crazy, isn't it? We have a couple of his books, and he has a new one out. It's wending its way towards me. I like cookbooks with pictures, so I wasn't sure at first about How to Cook Everything, but I love it. I've had it for years, and it's a staple. When I remember it. We used to have the coconut chicken all the time. I need to go dig that book out again. That's one I can just sit down with and browse through. Our Sunday Dinner this week was from The Minimalist Cooks Dinner. Roast fish and leeks. Couldn't be simpler. A bit too simple, perhaps for even my fish-loving boy. I probably should have laid in on a bit thicker with the salt and pepper. I loved it though. The bright green taste of the leeks and the lightness of the fish. Minimal, even.
