An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace by Tamar Adler
3.0
This would be a fantastic thing to have someone with a public radio voice read to you at bedtime, to put you to sleep and dream of good food.
I wholeheartedly agree with this cooking philosophy, and I picked up a few good tips, but it was also frustrating to read as someone who tries to cook meals that don't involve animal products, and someone who cooks for young children.
The prose is leisurely, and probably soothing and inspirational if you're in the mood for it. As someone who has been lacking in leisure time, I found it a bit precious.
I'm on the fence about whether to recommend this or not, but if it intrigues you, pick up a copy and read any page or three. If you find it delightful you will love the book. If not, don't feel obligated to read the rest.
