"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Everlasting.


Modeled on M.F.K. Fisher’s How to Cook a Wolf — written in 1942 during wartime rations to convince readers that good eating was always possible — An Everlasting Meal teaches how to cook well regardless of circumstance, offering a practical, pleasurable path to the kitchen.

Tamar Adler shares what chefs instinctively know: each ingredient you buy, chop, and cook ought to be prepared with a keen eye toward future meals.

Having An Everlasting Meal means using yesterday’s roasted broccoli as the sauce for tonight’s pasta, which fills tomorrow’s vegetable omelet, which is made into a sandwich the next day. 

Thanks, Jess.
