Mark Bittman
Journalist, author, environmental and nutrition advocate — none of these labels adequately captures the impact of Mark Bittman's career across 21 books, countless articles and his work on multiple television series. The author of the now-classic guide How to Cook Everything and award-winning Food Matters has become one of the voices we turn to to help us make sense of the sometimes bewildering choices that face us in the store, in the restaurant, or in the kitchen. And now, over an open flame: his latest is the eye-poppingly illustrated and backyard-barbecue inspiring new book How to Grill Everything. He joined us in the studio, to talk about the art of the grill — and how he developed his unique approach to writing about food.
