Drawing inspiration from M.F.K. Fisher's wartime classic, How to Cook a Wolf, Tamar Adler's An Everlasting Meal redefines cooking as a path to mindful and resourceful eating. Through a series of insightful essays, Adler empowers home cooks to embrace intuitive culinary practices.
The book explores fundamental techniques, such as boiling water and preparing eggs and beans, while simultaneously imparting philosophical perspectives on food. Adler emphasizes maximizing ingredient utilization, revealing how culinary mastery often stems from repurposing overlooked elements like bones, peels, and vegetable trimmings.
Beyond practical guidance on enhancing simple dishes and rectifying culinary missteps, Adler advocates for the transformative potential of humble ingredients like onions, celery, and potatoes. She promotes resource-conscious cooking of meat and fish, encouraging readers to approach food with both creativity and practicality.
By dismantling rigid culinary conventions and fostering a sense of culinary freedom, An Everlasting Meal encourages readers to initiate their cooking journey with their existing resources.
This elegant and empowering work serves as an indispensable guide, celebrating the intrinsic value of cooking in contemporary life.
