Renowned food writer and New York Times columnist Mark Bittman will discuss cooking tips from his new book HOW TO COOK EVERYTHING: The Basics (All You Need To Make Great Food—with 1,000 Photos) as part of WSHU Public Radio’s “Join the Conversation” series to be held at IKEA on 450 Sargent Drive, in New Haven, CT.



In his indispensable guide for any modern cook, Bittman reveals fundamental techniques and essential lessons from dicing vegetables and roasting meat, to making building-block meals, including salads, soups, poultry, fish, sides, and desserts. Bittman will explain what every home cook, particularly novices, should know. “Cooking, at its heart, is simple and straightforward,” he explains."Even if you’ve never picked up a pot or pan in your life, you can—and should—enjoy some time in the kitchen every day.”



Mark Bittman is one of the nation’s most respected and beloved food writers and home cooks. He writes for the New York Times’ Opinion section as well as the New York Times Magazine. He has authored more than a dozen cookbooks, including How to Cook Everything Vegetarian and Food Matters.
