Description: An intense thought - provoking enquiry into the very nature of cooking. - - Nigella Lawson One of the most original food books I ve ever read at once intelligent and sensuous witty provoking and truly delicious. - - Olivia Laing A bracingly original revelatory debut that explores cooking and the kitchen as sources of pleasure constraint and revolution by a rising star in food writing This joyful revelatory work of memory and meditation both complicates and electrifies life in the kitchen. Why do we cook? Is it just to feed ourselves and others? Or is there something more revolutionary going on? In Small Fires Rebecca May Johnson reinvents cooking - - that simple act of rolling up our sleeves wielding a knife spattering red hot sauce on our books - - as a way of experiencing ourselves and the world. Cooking is thinking: about the liberating constraint of tying apron strings; the transformative dynamics of shared meals; the meaning of appetite and bodily pleasure; the wild subversiveness of the recipe beyond words or control. Small Fires shows us the radical potential of the thing we do every day: the power of small fires burning everywhere.
