Who:
Mark Bittman, author of How to Cook Everything and cohost, with chef Mario Batali and actress Gwyneth Paltrow, of the new PBS food series Spain ... On the Road Again

Typical noontime meal:
"If I'm working at home, I'll cook up a huge pot of barley or brown rice at the beginning of the week, then reheat some with different beans and vegetables every day. If I'm eating out, I'll ignore the entrées, which are fat traps, and order two salads or two side dishes instead."



Healthiest habit:
"My main source of animal protein is fish. I'm not really anti-anything, but I do try to avoid eating too much meat or dairy."

Diet indulgence:

"Pasta. It's really the ultimate comfort food for me."
