Reviews

Some cookbooks live on the coffee table. Others live in the kitchen, their stained pages a pragmatic guide to what's for dinner. Farmer, chef, teacher, mother, activist, and writer Meredith Leigh has penned a profound how-to that's equally at home in the larder or on the nightstand beside collections of verse by Tracy K. Smith and William Matthews. - Jason Tesauro, Esquire.com
