Dinner for 8 in 4 Hours, With Just a Little Hysteria

This article by Mark Bittman in the New York Times describes this basic cooking truth, " ...good simple food, prepared with care and even a minimum of thought, is appreciated by anyone who likes to eat'". Amen for that! And for the simple, classic recipes that are described in this article, e.g.chicken with vinegar and marinated olives!

When I come over for dinner that's all I want! No need to stress yourself out and make fancy food for guests! Just simple, tasty dishes prepared with love. If I want fancy food, I'll go to a restaurant!
