Story
In We Are What We Eat, Alice Waters urges us to take up the mantle of slow food culture, the philosophy at the core of her life’s work. When Waters first opened Chez Panisse in 1971, she did so with the intention of feeding people good food during a time of political turmoil. Customers responded to the locally sourced organic ingredients, to the dishes made by hand, and to the welcoming hospitality that infused the small space - human qualities that were disappearing from a country increasingly seduced by takeout, frozen dinners, and prepackaged ingredients.

When you're cooking, you're a chemist! Every time you follow or modify a recipe you are experimenting with acids and bases, emulsions and suspensions, gels and foams. In your kitchen you denature proteins, crystallize compounds, react enzymes with substrates, and nurture desired microbial life while suppressing harmful microbes. And unlike in a laboratory, you can eat your experiments to verify your hypotheses.

As a young, unspectacular cook, David Chang opened a noodle restaurant in Manhattan’s East Village that should not have survived its first, misbegotten year. But, through sheer stubbornness and a series of utterly reckless choices, he became a chef who the New York Times once described as “the modern equivalent of Norman Mailer or Muhammad Ali”. In this memoir, Chang lays bare his self-doubt and ruminates on mental health.

Every home cook has thoughts on the right and wrong ways to use spices. These beliefs are passed down in family recipes and pronounced by television chefs, but where do such ideas come from? Many are little better than superstition, and most serve only to reinforce a cook's sense of superiority or cover for their insecurities. It doesn't have to be this way. These notes On Spice come from three generations of a family in the spice trade, and dozens upon dozens of their collected spice guides and stories.

Publisher's Summary
Reviving the inspiring message of M. F. K. Fisher’s How to Cook a Wolf - written in 1942 during wartime shortages - An Everlasting Meal shows that cooking is the path to better eating.
Through the insightful essays in An Everlasting Meal, Tamar Adler issues a rallying cry to home cooks.
In chapters about boiling water, cooking eggs and beans, and summoning respectable meals from empty cupboards, Tamar weaves philosophy and instruction into approachable lessons on instinctive cooking. Tamar shows how to make the most of everything you buy, demonstrating what the world’s great chefs know: that great meals rely on the bones and peels and ends of meals before them.
She explains how to smarten up simple food and gives advice for fixing dishes gone awry. She recommends turning to neglected onions, celery, and potatoes for inexpensive meals that taste full of fresh vegetables, and cooking meat and fish resourcefully.
By wresting cooking from doctrine and doldrums, Tamar encourages listeners to begin from wherever they are, with whatever they have. An Everlasting Meal is elegant testimony to the value of cooking and an empowering, indispensable tool for eaters today.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Amazing book, amateur narration grows on you
Love this book more than I can say. It's given me a different view on how to use my groceries wisely - how to rescue foods I miscooked, and use parts I usually toss, and cook more from instinct (Tamar's instinct!) rather than recipes. Though there are tons of recipes here - but she teaches rules of thumb as much as specific foods.
She also speaks about food in an infectiously glowing, enthusiastic way, like that person you know who initially seems kinda weirdly peppy but ends up winning you over completely and changing how you think of things. She ENTHUSES about food, and shows the glory of simple good food, made lovingly. She also shares food struggles and her periodic despairs about cooking, and it's all so relatable. She infuses the book with relevant quotes from philosophers - not in a showoff way, but with the delight of finding the exact right thought for the topic at hand, and it totally works.
The narration is offputting at first but grew on me. Tamar reads her own book, and the rhythm is incredible choppy. She pauses in odd places in the sentence like she's writing it as she goes instead of reading something that's been edited to a shine. The book is so great that it overcomes that, and Tamar's quiet enthusiasm comes through so strongly that I was won over again.

1st cookbook that actually taught me to cook
I loved the audiobook so much I bought a hardcopy, too. I have always considered myself a foodie and enjoyed cooking, but have struggled to meal plan, shop, and use up my groceries before they spoil. And since Covid hit, I have been blowing my budget on disappointing delivery. This book has changed everything for me. Tamar’s words and philosophy are both inspiring and accessible. She has awakened a joy, ease, creativity, confidence, and conscientiousness in my approach to cooking and life. Bottom line - I am saving money on food, eating better than ever, and having fun doing it.
