“Bittman changed my life. I’ve always cooked. But it was something stoners might enjoy at the end of smoking session in the heart of the Inland Empire on a Tuesday night. Like mixing Emerils essence with Kroger’s Mac and Cheese (which actually isn’t that bad). Then in 2010 I saw the Minimalists videos and he made me laugh and taught me that I could do more. And I did. Bittmans love for food is so contagious he had me asking myself, what am I missing in life? Today, I make my own salad dressings (when I hated the salad), roast chickens, bake bread, eat things I never ever thought I would eat like pasta and sardines or cozze e fagioli, that are straight up transcendent. Bittman in other words liberates you from frozen or fast food and you enter the world of quality food made with love and with instructions simple enough for anyone. You know he’s done something right when you pass a restaurant, read the menu, turn away and say, I could do better. And now the podcast? Duh, of course I’m gonna listen.”
