FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In An Everlasting Meal, Tamar Adler has written a book that "reads less like a cookbook than like a recipe for a delicious life" (New York magazine). In this meditation on cooking and eating, Tamar Adler weaves philosophy and instruction into approachable lessons on feeding ourselves well. An Everlasting Meal demonstrates the implicit frugality in cooking. In essays on forgotten skills such as boiling, suggestions for what to do when cooking seems like a chore, and strategies for preparing, storing, and transforming ingredients for a weeks worth of satisfying, delicious meals, Tamar reminds us of the practical pleasures of eating. She explains what cooks in the worlds great kitchens know: that the best meals rely on the ends of the meals that came before them. With that in mind, she shows how we often throw away the bones, skins, and peels we need to make our food both more affordable and better. She also reminds readers that almost all kitchen mistakes can be remedied. Summoning respectable meals from the humblest ingredients, Tamar breathes life into the belief that we can start cooking from wherever we are, with whatever we have. An empowering, indispensable work, An Everlasting Meal is an elegant testimony to the value of cooking.

Review "An Everlasting Meal is beautifully intimate, approaching cooking as a narrative that begins not with a list of ingredients or a tutorial on cutting an onion, but with a way of thinking.... Tamar is one of the great writers I know--her prose is exquisitely crafted, beautiful and clear-eyed and open, in the thoughtful spirit of M.F.K. Fisher. This is a book to sink into and read deeply." --Alice Waters, from the Foreword"An Everlasting Meal is a great thrill to read. Anyone who cooks is engaged in a re-creation of the Enlightenment Age--beginning with alchemy and mystery, always grasping towards chemistry and a tasty supper. With this book, Tamar Adler has chronicled our epic. Her tone manages to make the reader almost feel like he is thinking out loud. A marvelous accomplishment." -Jack Hitt, contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine"Adler proves herself an adept essayist in this discourse on instinctive home cooking. Though highly personal, its much less a food memoir than a kind of cooking tao." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution"In this beautiful book, Tamar Adler explores the difference between frugal and resourceful cooking. Few people can turn the act of boiling water into poetry. Adler does. By the time you savor the last page, your kitchen will have transformed into a playground, a boudoir and a wide open field. An Everlasting Meal deserves to be an instant and everlasting culinary classic." -Raj Patel, author of The Value of Nothing and Stuffed and Starved"It can be tricky, in this age of ethically charged supermarket choices, to remember that eating is an act of celebration. Tamar Adlers terrific book wisely presents itself as a series of how tos--How To Boil Water, How to Have Balance, How to Live Well--with the suggestion that its not only possible to do all these things, but in fact a pleasure. An Everlasting Meal provides the very best kind of lesson (reminding us we enjoy being taught), that there is real joy to be had in eating, and eating well." --Dan Barber, Chef/Co-Owner of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns"Lessons so right and so eloquent that I think of them as homilies." --Corby Kummer, The New York Times Book Review"Reading [An Everlasting Meal] is like having a cooking teacher whispering suggestions in your ear.... Mindfulness, Im discovering through this terrific book, can be delicious." --Novella Carpenter, author of Farm City "Reads less like a cookbook than like a recipe for a delicious life." --New York Magazine"Simultaneously meditative and practical, about how to appreciate and use what you have and how to prepare it appropriately with a minimum of fuss, space, equipment, or waste." --The Austin Chronicle "Tamar Adler has written the best book on cooking with economy and grace that I have read since MFK Fisher." --Michael Pollan"Tamar Adler understands a simple truth that seems to evade a lot of cookbook writers and self-proclaimed foodies cooking well isnt about special equipment or exotic condiments or over-tested recipes (and it sure isnt about quickfire challenges or kicking it up a notch). Its about learning some basics, respecting the ingredients, and developing a little culinary intuition, or maybe just plain common sense. A book cant necessarily teach you how to do that, but An Everlasting Meal will almost certainly inspire you to teach yourself." --Colman Andrews, author of The Country Cooking of Italy and Editorial Director of TheDailyMeal.com"What it really is is a book about how to live a good life: take the long view, give to others, learn from everything you do, and always, always, always mindfully enjoy what you are doing and what youve done. The fact youll learn to be a great cook is just a bonus." --Forbes.com Review Quote "What it really is is a book about how to live a good life: take the long view, give to others, learn from everything you do, and always, always, always mindfully enjoy what you are doing and what youve done. The fact youll learn to be a great cook is just a bonus." --Forbes.com Details ISBN1439181888 Author Tamar Adler Short Title EVERLASTING MEAL Language English ISBN-10 1439181888 ISBN-13 9781439181881 Media Book Format Paperback Year 2012 Publication Date 2012-06-19 Subtitle Cooking with Economy and Grace Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2012-06-19 NZ Release Date 2012-06-19 US Release Date 2012-06-19 UK Release Date 2012-06-19 Pages 272 Publisher Simon & Schuster Imprint Simon & Schuster DEWEY 641.5973 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
