#RecipeOfTheDay is Roast Quinces! Though actually I’m not sure this even qualifies as a recipe, since all you do is quarter them and roast them. But if you’ve never cooked with quince before, this is an excellent place to start. www.nigella.com/recipes/roas...

There’s not a day goes past that I don’t miss Tony Bourdain, great man, great friend, great writer. Nothing can make up for the loss of him, of course, but it’s wonderful to hear his voice live from the page in the compellingly brilliant Anthony Bourdain Reader edited by Kim Witherspoon.
