September 2012 Selection: 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
week's worth of satisfying, delicious meals, Tamar reminds us of the
practical pleasures of eating. She explains what cooks in the world's
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.

pictured heirloom tomatoes and a chicken coop. The story of how her

geese, rabbits, ducks, and two three-hundred-pound pigs will capture the
imagination of anyone who has ever considered leaving the city behind
for a more natural lifestyle.
