Mark Bittman on Cooking Vegetarian
The New York Times's Minimalist Mark Bittman is an avowed meat eater. But he’s just released a new meat-free cookbook, How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. Mr. Bittman says that vegetarians, omnivores, and carnivores alike can enjoy his meatless recipes. He joins Leonard to share recipes like Green Tea with Udon Noodles and Braised Tofu in Caramel Sauce.
Weigh In: This question is for the meat eaters: what's your favorite 100% vegetarian meal?
