A comprehensive, beautifully illustrated and gracefully written resource... a no-waste ethos permeates these many pages with goodwill, humor, and hope. As with all things Adler, the writing is fantastic: expert and unfailingly elegant. --Vogue This book is gratifying in its pragmatic approach to cooking and reviving what has already been cooked. It's an invaluable resource for home cooks looking to eat more mindfully and deliciously while throwing away less. Better still, it's a pleasurable read. --Stephen Satterfield, Founder of Whetstone Media, Host of High on the Hog Tamar Adler's guide to redeeming leftovers is endlessly useful and great fun to browse: it deserves an everlasting place in any kitchen. --Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking The Everlasting Meal Cookbook is as inspiring as it is essential. Before you even finish reading the introduction, you know you are in good hands. Tamar Adler can teach the most trepidatious person to become a more intuitive and spontaneous cook. --Andy Baraghani, author of The Cook You Want to Be Tamar Adler's new book is as much about finding excitement in the mundane as it is about giving new life to old ingredients. Instead of feeling intimidating or boring or terribly utilitarian, Adler's recipes and guiding principles for reinvigorating leftovers are warm and enticing. Flipping through the wisdom within, I found myself wishing I had more almost-forgotten dinners to reimagine. --Elazar Sontag, restaurant editor, Bon Appetit If cooking is a basic adult skill, knowing how to make something imaginative out of leftovers is advanced level adulting. The Everlasting Meal Cookbook shows us how to create desirable, simple meals out of what we have in our cupboards, refrigerators, and freezers. This is a useful, sustainable, and unique cookbook. --Klancy Miller, author of Cooking Solo
