An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace by Tamar Adler

5.0

In theory, this book shouldn't take long to read, but I read it slowly and savored it. I fell in love with this book actually. It was a comfort read just like a good comfort meal. It is incredibly well written, and Tamar's philosophy of more simplistic eating and resourcefulness with the ingredients you buy or already have is truly inspiring. I tried out several of her suggestions (the garlicky pesto made of vegetable ends being one of my favorites) while I read. In the end, this book was not only a beautiful read but a wonderful lesson in the bounty that many of us actually have when we think we don't have enough food in the house.
