New York Times opinion columnist and New York Times Magazine lead food writer, Mark Bittman has been celebrated for his straightforward and unpretentious approach to cooking pretty much everything. Despite no formal training in the culinary arts (besides all those years of eating and writing about food, of course), his encyclopedia-like How to Cook Everything has been something of a Foodie bible since its debut.
With an updated edition of How to Cook Everything: The Basics hitting bookshelves and his own show coming up on the Cooking Channel, Bittman will take the stage tonight at the Herbst Theatre to discuss important topics like cooking for all us normal people.
Bittman will appear in conversation with fellow food writer Jessica Battiliana as part of the City Arts & Lectures series. Although City Arts says the event is sold out, there are still tickets available from City Box Office. The event starts promptly at 7:30 p.m.
