  • Gingery chicken stew

    • lorloff on February 26, 2017

      This was an absolutely delicious recipie. It was even better the next day. I would not change a thing! It look great and was even better. This will become our next real comfort food. Will make again and you should too. Used chicken stock.

  • Baingan bharta

    • SACarlson on October 03, 2020

      This is one of my new favourite recipes. I've made it 4 or 5 times now and it is always delicious. It also keeps well in the unlikely event that you have leftovers.

  • Roasted broccoli gratin

    • mharriman on August 31, 2022

      For such a simple recipe, this vegetable side dish was a hit. I tossed cut up florets from one full head of broccoli in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper and followed the temperature and time directions, adding bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese during the final five minutes of roasting.

Publishers Text

Mark Bittman’s The Flexitarian column made its debut in the New York Times Dining section on April 23, 2013. This recent addition is a monthly column focused on “the moderate, conscious eater – the flexitarian.” As Bittman stated in his first column: “This is not a diet column, unless you accept that “diet” means something closer to “way of life” than “weird quick fix.” Rather, it’s an eating column, one that will remain — in the tradition of the Dining section — more about great food than anything else."
