An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace by Tamar Adler
4.0
This book gently shares a philosophy of using food well and eating well. Adler advocates living well but without excess. Lunch could be an egg and cheese on bread with a little greens, but it's a single egg, just enough cheese, and a slice of bread, not a huge sandwich, a bag of chips, and a soda beside.
Although Adler's food ethic is not directly one that is completely compatible with food justice concerns, it's probably more closely adaptable to one than some of the more mainstream food ethics like those of Michael Pollen. For example, she is an advocate of boiling (done right) as a cooking method, and one of her central tenants is making the ends of one meal become the beginning of another.
In addition to all that, I was salivating for nearly all of the recipes. Yummy!
