Recently Heidi has expressed an interest in doing a little of the cooking around here. To be clear, I rarely find that task to be onerous; in fact, I love to cook, and I usually find it very relaxing. Even so, or perhaps therefore, I understand where Heidi is coming from, and I'm happy to help.
A few months ago, I received a special offer to subscribe to Cook's Illustrated. Although I don't recall the details, I do know that it was incentive enough to make me sign up for a year, especially since it was for both the online and print versions. I also remembered how I used to love the bimonthly delivery of that elegant publication with its clear prose and sharply defined graphics.
When my November/December issue arrived today, I confess to being slightly dismissive about the lead time. "It's still September!" I complained to Heidi as I opened the magazine. But what I found there reminded me how Heidi loves the Baking Illustrated book she was gifted years ago. "You should take a look at this when you get a chance," I suggested. "I think you'll enjoy all the tips and recipes."
A moment later she was paging through, reading the highlights and showing me the pictures. It wasn't long before she picked a pasta with broccoli sauce recipe to try for dinner tonight, and it sounds delicious!
