Hey, this is Mark Bitman. You might know me from How to Cook Everything, or from the New York Times, or from the

Bitman Project. You might say I'm obsessed with everything about food, and that's why I've

started a new podcast called Appropriately. about food.

I'll tell you more about that in a new podcast called appropriately enough.

Food.

I'll tell you more about that in a minute.

But first, here's a great salad that's really fast based on Arrugala but with strawberries and go cheese.

Take a pint of strawberries, hull them, slice them, put them in a salad bowl.

Toss with a couple of tablespoons of the best balsamic vinegar you can find,

and some grinds of black pepper. Let that sit for just a few minutes,

then add a bunch of Arugala, tear it up first, some crumbled goat cheese and a sprinkle of salt.

Dristle that all with olive oil, toss, and serve. That is like the best five minute salad

you can make in the spring.

That was just a sample of the kind of tips and recipes you'll get on my new

podcast, Food. I'll also sit down with guests like Carla Hall, Tom Calicchio, Ted Danson, Jane Goodall,

and important people in the food world you may not know about. We'll talk about cooking, eating, and how food affects us all,

our lives, our health, our planet. I'll even take your questions,

from how to boil a perfect egg, to how to feed your picky toddler,

to how to increase people's control over the role food plays in our lives.

So subscribe now to Food with Mark Pittman

on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your

podcasts. And don't miss my first episode, May 24th, with my special guest The fabulous Nijela Lawson.
