The Bittman Project

The Bittman Project

In the beginning of my career, I (Mark Bittman) primarily focused on writing about cooking and the joy it brings. Over time, my interests expanded to explore how food influences our lives and our connections to the planet and each other. This includes topics such as farming, food processing, environmental issues, public health, labor rights, politics, racism, inequality, and justice. This evolution in my perspective took shape during my 30 years at the New York Times and has continued after my departure, particularly through my recent work with Heated on Medium. Now, I'm dedicating my efforts to The Bittman Project, collaborating with a team that shares similar values. We believe that food should be fair to both people and animals, accessible to everyone, nutritious, and produced in harmony with nature. Additionally, we think food should be delicious, which often means engaging in shopping, preparation, and cooking.

    Sure, leftovers are great for the next day’s lunch. But what if tonight’s meal ended up as tomorrow’s supper—yet in a totally new, unexpected way? Welcome to Dinner Tonight, Dinner Tomorrow, a series that we hope you find as useful as we do. Sometimes, unaltered leftovers serve exactly the right purpose—cold pizza for breakfast never hurt anyone, and pasta salad that’s had a good night’s sleep in the fridge  makes a comforting and refreshing lunch.

    I don’t love plain lettuce leaves on a plate; I’m not even sure that’s “salad.” Sometimes I force myself to eat it—if the dressing is really good—and sometimes I ignore it. ​Chopped salad​, however, is to me a staple, because it can include literally any vegetable that you can eat raw, and that is interesting. Taking the extra time to chop the greens and vegetables is always worth it, because dressing and ingredients become evenly distributed, and everything is much easier to eat.

    As tinned fish continues to show up on more and more restaurant menus, it’s hard not to wonder: Is the upcharge worth it? Sometimes, yes—perhaps it’s served with excellent bread and nice butter, or housemade chili crisp and pickles, or three different varieties of beautiful salt you’ve never heard of, and that’s all delightful and requires a lot of effort and skill to assemble.

    “Food is both a record of the upheaval of wartime and a comforting talisman of where you’ve come from and who you are. It’s the tie that binds you to your people wherever they are in the world.”I can’t take credit for such an eloquent passage; it’s from Hawa Hassan’s new book, Setting a Place for Us: Recipes and Stories of Displacement, Resilience, and Community.

    The lovely vegetables in this series all have one thing in common: once you get them home from the farmers market, you quickly run out of ways to use them. Well, we’re here to tell you that these typecast vegetables are a lot more versatile than you might think—and we’ve got the recipes to prove it. The only use for leeks that most people know about is leek vinaigrette.
