Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Cooking is thinking! The spatter of sauce in a pan, a cook's subtle deviation from a recipe, the careful labour of cooking for loved ones: these are not often the subjects of critical enquiry. Cooking, we are told, has nothing to do with serious thought; the path to intellectual fulfilment leads directly out of the kitchen. In this electrifying, innovative memoir, Rebecca May Johnson rewrites the kitchen as a vital source of knowledge and revelation. Drawing on insights from ten years spent thinking through cooking, she explores the radical openness of the recipe text, the liberating constraint of apron strings and the transformative intimacies of shared meals. Playfully dissolving the boundaries between abstract intellect and bodily pleasure, domesticity and politics, Johnson awakens us to the richness of cooking as a means of experiencing the self and the world - and to the revolutionary potential of the small fires burning in every kitchen'--Publisher's description.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "A remarkable story of work, worry, art, faith, community, life, and hope. An instant classic." Heather Cox Richardson, author of the New York Times bestseller Democracy Awakening'A heartfelt and moving story . . . Just as important, it's also a well-timed lesson in civics.' Richard Russo, author of Empire FallsTwo unforgettable women from opposite poles of power in Maine forge an uplifting bond through good, old-fashioned letter writing that helps them navigate the COVID crisis Both women bring civility, grace, wit, and wisdom to the challenge of protecting those who depend on them in other words, leadershipThis trip to the "Vacationland" of Maine where the state motto is I Lead offers an inspiring tale of civility and purpose, of doing the right thing and not just surviving, but prevailing.The first woman to serve as governor of Maine, Janet Mills, had been in office a year when COVID-19 reached the United States. The recently-widowed 72-year-old wrote in her journal there is "no playbook for a pandemic" as she imposed unprecedented restrictions on her state.When early support for the governor's response curdled to rampant opposition, a young mother named Ashirah Knapp sent a letter of support from a remote homestead in the woods of Maine. Ashirah's handwritten dispatch detailed how the public health emergency was upending her family's life and livelihood, and she promised to keep writing "every week until we are through this time" to remind the governor how many Mainers supported her despite the disruption.Ashirah's letters, with their simple wisdom and striking penmanship, stood out in a flood of correspondence Governor Mills was receiving that ranged in tone from appreciative to furious. They helped keep her grounded as she made wrenching, often unpopular choices.Shannon A. Mullen weaves from these two women's letters and the governor's journal, which were never intended for publication, an intimate and compelling true story that is a celebration of civility and compassion in the face of rancor and of resolve in the face of adversity.
