It’s Bittman vs Lady Gaga at Time Magazine

Food writer Mark Bittman is pitted against Lady Gaga over at Time Magazine. No it’s not about her meat dress. They’re both finalists in the Time Top 100 Poll.

The online poll aims to determine the 100 most influential people of 2011. Every home cook in the known universe has a spattered copy of Bittman’s How to Cook Everything, and if that’s not influential, we don’t know what is.

The Minimalist Manifesto

Mark Bittman’s first Op Ed column appeared in Wednesday’s New York Times. The title: “A Food Manifesto for the Future.”  Readers had a few questions, chiefly “Where are the recipes?” and “What are you doing?”

Mr. Bittman responded in a post on his new NYT blog: “What Am I Doing?”  This should not be confused with his other blog, the one with the recipes. His recipes will also be appearing in the New York Times Magazine shortly.
