Mark Bittman on the Food Network

Here's a tiny bit of what Mark Bittman had to say in a recent interview:

I used to make fun of my mother, but she put in the hours in the kitchen every night. A lot of people don’t.

The celebrity-chef thing is not about getting people to cook, it’s about getting people to watch television and spend money in restaurants. They and I have nothing in common.

Funnily enough, he may actually have a new TV show.

His book How to Cook Everything did result in some tasty food Sunday evening though. Application is a good thing where food is concerned, and I don't do enough of it.
