Book Reviews of Pot on the Fire: Further Exploits of a Renegade Cook
Book Review: I'm finally bored with John Thorne
Summary: 2 Stars
I really enjoyed John Thorne's other books, but when I read this one I was bored. He has been publishing for a number of years, and you'd think he would grow and change, expand his awareness, try something new. Instead, I get the feeling his life is shrinking and that he is becoming a miserly, curmudgeonly northeastener who is living a narrow and deprived life out of choice rather than necessity. He moved from a small town to a bigger city, but he hasn't changed much, still the narrow anal focus on the details of simple recipes. Living with him must be mind-numbingly boring. I wonder if his wife ever wants to scream and run out of the house? So obviously my advice is, skip this one and reread one of the earlier ones.
Summary of Pot on the Fire: Further Exploits of a Renegade Cook
Pot on the Fire is the latest collection from "the most enticing, serendipitous voice on the culinary front since Elizabeth David and M.F.K. Fisher" (Connoisseur). From nineteenth-century famine-struck Ireland to the India of the British Raj, from the bachelor's kitchen to the Italian cucina, Thorne is an entertaining, erudite, and inventive guide to culinary adventuring and appreciation.
