This is what the publisher tells us about this book: In this collection of essays, John Thorne sets our to explore the origins of his identity as a cook, going “here” (the Maine co ast, where he’d summered as a child and returned as an adult for a decade’s sojourn), “there” (southern Louisiana, where he was captivated by Creole and Cajun cooking), and “everywhere” (where he provides a sympathetic reading of such national culinary icons as the hamburger, white bread, and American cheese, and sits down to a big bowl of Texas red). These intelligent, searching essays are a passionate meditation on food, character, and place. Paperback. Show more
