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. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn empowering, indispensable work, \n\u003ci\u003eAn Everlasting Meal \u003c\/i\u003eis an elegant testimony to the value of cooking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eAdler, Tamar\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTamar Adler is the James Beard and IACP Award-winning author of \n\u003ci\u003eAn Everlasting Meal\u003c\/i\u003e; \n\u003ci\u003eSomething Old, Something New\u003c\/i\u003e; and the bestselling \n\u003ci\u003eThe Everlasting Meal Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e.
