Tomato Blessings and Radish Teachings

In Tomato Blessings and Radish Teachings, Ed Brown looks back at his years of discovery and creating in the kitchen, drawing upon stories to delight our spirits and awaken our resourcefulness before rolling up his sleeves and teaching us how to prepare his favorite recipes. They are subtle and varied, but not complicated. With the skills of a great teacher and a master chef, he quotes from Rilke before offering his recipes for ginger muffins and blueberry crisp. He recalls the pleasure of cooking over fire — the colors, the smells, the process of "harvest being transformed into food" — as he provides secrets for grilling. Brown enables us to see the virtue and goodness of radishes; he regales us with the tale of a watermelon feast; he gives us images of succulent dishes and the simplest and purest of repasts.
