A beautifully written tribute to the people who teach us to cook
and guide our hands in the kitchen, by a founding editor of Saveur.
"[The book features] many of the culinary names [Kalins] worked
with . . . like Colman Andrews, Marcella Hazan, Michael Anthony and
Anita Lo. Through her eyes and lively prose, they provide [a]
compelling common-sense approach to food that will easily resonate
with experienced cooks and should bolster the confidence of
novices." - New York Times The cooking lessons that stick with us
are rarely the ones we read in books or learn through blog posts or
YouTube videos (depending on your generation); they're the ones we
pick up as we spend time with good cooks in the kitchen. Dorothy
Kalins, founding editor of Savuer magazine, calls the people who
pass on their cooking wisdom her Kitchen Whisperers. Consciously or
not, they help make us the cooks we are-and help show the way to
the kind of cooks we have the potential to become. Dorothy's
prolific career in food media means many of her Kitchen Whisperers
are some of the best chefs around (though the lessons she's learned
from fellow home cooks are just as important). For Dorothy, a
lifetime of exposure to incredible cooks and chefs means that she
can't enter her kitchen without hearing the voices of mentors and
friends with whom she cooked over the years as they reveal their
favorite techniques. Marcella Hazan warns her against valuing look
over flavor. Christopher Hirsheimer advises that sometimes water is
the best liquid to add to a dish rather than stock or wine. Her
onetime Southern mother-in-law wisely knows that not everyone who
asks for a biscuit is food hungry. Woven through the text are
dozens of narrative recipes, from her mother's meat loaf to David
Tanis's Swiss Chard Gratin. The Kitchen Whisperers will prompt
older readers to identify and cherish the food mentors in their own
lives, just as it will inspire younger readers to seek them out.
Stories and recipes from Dorothy's notable connections will inspire
the creative food journeys of all.
