Mark Bittman, better known to New York Times Dining and Wine section readers as the Minimalist, announced this morning that he is joining the blogging movement. His site is called Bitten and part of the New York Times family of blogs. He says that the goal of his new writing venture is, "to look at great food made with everyday ingredients and readily achievable techniques - as The Minimalist has been doing for a decade - not food as something to be admired from afar, but as a part of daily life." So far, his blogging seems appealing and conversational, a more casual version of the voice we're used to reading in his weekly columns. I, for one, am happy to welcome Bittman to the blogging world. I think his perspective will be a valuable addition to the food blog conversation and I look forward to reading it regularly!
