John Thorne has a new book out. Mouth Wide Open A Cook and His Appetite
Ever since his first book, /Simple Cooking/, and its acclaimed
successors, /Outlaw Cook, Serious Pig,/ and /Pot on the Fire,/ John
Thorne has been hailed as one of the most provocative, passionate, and
accessible food writers at work today. In /Mouth Wide Open,/ his fifth
collection, he has prepared a feast for the senses and intellect,
charting a cook’s journey from ingredient to dish in illuminating essays
that delve into the intimate pleasures of pistachios, the Scottish burr
of real marmalade, how the Greeks made a Greek salad, the (hidden)
allure of salt anchovies, and exploring the uncharted territory of
improvised breakfasts and resolutely idiosyncratic midnight snacks. Most
of all, his inimitable warmth, humor, and generosity of spirit inspire
us to begin our own journey of discovery in the kitchen and in the
age-old comfort and delight of preparing food.
