He has authored numerous cookbooks, as well as blog posts, books and articles covering various topics including food policy, agriculture, health, recipes and more. He was a New York Times columnist for years, penning The Minamalist, and an Op-Ed contributor and food writer for the magazine. He has also guest lectured, appeared in TV series and specials, and created food videos for the NY Times website. His viewpoint, like other writers like Pollan, is that good, healthy food does not have to be complicated, and can be very tasty, if you use a variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients and plenty of flavor enhancers like herbs and spices...and creativity. His "How To Cook Everything" book is the "Joy of Cooking" of our time, which is also available as a mobile app.
