I was trying to cut the fat down from my usual banana bread recipe that I adopted from the Better Homes and Garden cookbook circa 1999 and managed to only use ... http://cooking.syphen.org/?p=339 After browsing through Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything" at a friends apartment while job hunting in September, I fell in love with the man. Oh, I've been a fan of the Minimalist NYT's column, but How to Cook Everything was thick tome full of delicious, yet easy, sounding ... http://cooking.syphen.org/?p=338 Lest you think there has been no cooking or baking in the place, I present you with this delicious photo and recipe (below).

In ... http://cooking.syphen.org/?p=331 I remember reading about this recipe quite a while ago from Clothilde's awesome blog Chocolate and Zucchini (she's also just come out with a cookbook that looks fabulous) and never quite got it out of my head.
