The MJCCA Welcomes New York Times Bestselling Author Mark Bittman, May 17, as He Presents His Latest Cookbook, How to Grill Everything
On Thursday, May 17, 2018, at 7:30 pm, a Page from the Book Festival of the MJCCA (Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta), welcomes back Mark Bittman, the man who taught us how to cook everything. Bittman returns to the MJCCA stage with his latest book, How to Grill Everything, the definitive guide to how to grill everything—from the perfect steak to cedar-plank salmon to pizza—all explained in his simple, straightforward style.
The book talk & signing will be held at the MJCCA (5342 Tilly Mill Road, Dunwoody). Tickets: $10-$15. For information, visit www.atlantajcc.org or call 678.812.4002.
About the Book
Featuring more than 1,000 recipes and hundreds of variations, plus Bittman’s practical advice on grilling basics, How to Grill Everything is an exploration of the grill’s nearly endless possibilities. Recipes cover every part of the meal, including appetizers, seafood, meat, poultry, vegetables (including vegetarian mains), and even desserts. You’ll also find unexpected grilled treats like avocado, watermelon, or pound cake, and innovative surprises—like how to cook paella or bake a whole loaf of bread on the grill—to get the most out of every fire.

For more than two decades his popular and compelling stories appeared in the New York Times, where he was ultimately the lead food writer for Sunday Magazine and became the country’s first food-focused Op-Ed columnist for a major news publication. Bittman has starred in four television series, including Showtime’s Emmy-winning Years of Living Dangerously.
Bittman has written for nearly every major newspaper in the United States and many magazines, and has spoken at dozens of universities and conferences; his 2007 TED talk has more than a million views. He was a distinguished fellow at the University of California (Berkeley) and a fellow at the Union of Concerned Scientists; he is a member of the faculty of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health.
