false 1456419 2 <div><div>Ever since his first book, <i>Simple Cooking</i>, and its acclaimed successors, <i>Outlaw Cook</i>, <i>Serious Pig, </i>and <i>Pot on the Fire</i>, John Thorne has been hailed as one of the most provocative, passionate, and accessible food writers at work today. In <i>Mouth Wide</i> <i>Open, </i>his fifth collection, he has prepared a feast for the senses and intellect, charting a cook&#8217;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.</div></div> 1447202 27 11 2007 Mouth Wide Open: A Cook and His Appetite total:31|5:8|4:15|3:7|2:0|1:1| 31 122 69 11 3 1 false false Thu Jan 31 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 16:57:07 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 16:57:07 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 19 16:42:57 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 29 08:28:38 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Apr 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 01 20:29:33 -0800 2009 Sun Jun 14 19:19:44 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Sep 22 14:44:23 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 14:46:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Sep 20 20:23:46 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 20:28:32 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jul 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 19:37:45 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 19:41:29 -0700 2009
