Mark Bittman - a vegan until six
Ok, thank you Michael Pollan, now I'd like to call Mark Bittman
to the
stage.
Bittman is the New York Times cookery writer and his blog is
in my bookmark list. There are lots of bookmarks in my list
and because it's USA centric and New York cool, I don't get
to it often. I was prompted to revisit by a review in
Malcolm Jolley's Toronto based
Gremolata
(which I do visit often).
Bittman's new book has the clever double meaning of 'Food
Matters. A guide to conscious eating'. The Gremolata reviewer said
about the book..
"There is much emphasis on vegetables, which is becoming Bittman's signature. In his NYT column he chronicled his
conversion to being a "vegan until six", eschewing meat,
sugar and refined carbs during the day, and eating whatever
he felt like at night. It worked for him: he lost his excess
weight and feels great. And there is both a commonsensical
logic and a comforting nod to pleasure in his prescription.
This book seems to be more about before six than after, but
that's ok, that's the point of the thing."
That 'vegan 'til six' idea had me hooked and I thought you
should know more about Mark Bittman too, so I've collected
some links and ordered the book.
