Why read it?
1 author picked An Everlasting Meal as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I would be remiss if I didn't have a "food" book from my list. While I have read and liked many such books, Adler's is the top gem.Â
As I read her book, I pictured us in my kitchen conversing about how we had modified a recipe to save time, money, or both. We compared notes on the lost art of thrift in the kitchen; how to turn bread heels, beans, and bones into tasty components of a meal.Â
Adler shows us that we can be cooks on our terms, in our own kitchens, delightfully free of pretense and convention.âŠ
From Anne's list on microbiomes, gut health, food, and farming.
