13 YEARS OF THE MINIMALIST’S ASPARAGUS

June 1, 2011

Not only do we have the 2011 gift of the Mark Bittman’s latest Asparagus Matrix, ow titled, “Asparagus Chart,” but he has also made available, his list of 13 years’ of asparagus recipes in the New York Times.

MARK BITTMAN’S PASTA HANDKERCHIEFS WITH CHUNKY PESTO
