The key to Jason Epstein's long and happy life in food is the fact if you need to consume well, prepare it yourself. Additionally, he is convinced that you never make the same dish double, that meals are constantly changing, and there is nothing written in rock. Just what exactly he offers us in this scrumptious little book are stories interwoven with meals - of growing up in Maine, harvesting clams and oysters and lobsters, of working in a hamburger joint, of sailing to Europe, settling in the New York of last night and today in his current Manhattan world on the advantage of Chinatown. He is forever learning something from the mozzarella cheese man at di Paolo's sublime shop on Grand Neighborhood or about seebah (sea bass) from the fishmonger in Chinatown, or perhaps a tip from Alice Waters, whose first cookbook he printed. So a fresh dish evolves or an old one is altered, the details of which he shares around his listeners in his conversational style. No materials extracted, no exact portions given - only a general notion of how he sets it all together, thereby inspiring his listeners to do the same. A ground-breaking little book that sets the fun back to cooking.
