A review by suannelaqueur
At Home on the Range by Margaret Yardley Potter

5.0

Part scholar and part crusader for a more open food conversation, Potter espoused the importance of farmer's markets and ethnic food (Italian, Jewish, and German), derided preservatives and culinary shortcuts, and generally celebrated a devotion to epicurean adventures. Reading this practical and humorous cookbook, it's not hard to see that Elizabeth Gilbert inherited her great-grandmother's love of food and her warm, infectious prose. The chapter entitled "Egg Yourself on in Emergencies" is, in my opinion, one of the most perfectly perfect things written. Ever.
