Mouth Wide Open by John Thorne

Mouth Wide Open by John Thorne

Ever since his first book, Simple Cooking, and its acclaimed successors, Outlaw Cook, Serious Pig, and Pot on the Fire, John Thorne has been hailed as one of the most provocative, passionate, and accessible food writers at work today. In Mouth Wide Open, his fifth collection, he has prepared a feast for the senses and intellect, charting a cook's journey from ingredient to dish in illuminating essays that delve into the intimate pleasures of pistachios, the Scottish burr of real marmalade, how the Greeks made a Greek salad, the (hidden) allure of salt anchovies, and exploring the uncharted territory of improvised breakfasts and resolutely idiosyncratic midnight snacks. Most of all, his inimitable warmth, humor, and generosity of spirit inspire us to begin our own journey of discovery in the kitchen and in the age-old comfort and delight of preparing food.

John Thorne has a Master of Arts in TV/Radio/Film from Southern Methodist University in Dallas. For thirteen years, John was co-editor and co-producer of Wrapped In Plastic magazine, where he wrote extensively about Twin Peaks and associated film and television. He was also a contributor to the magazines, Spectrum and Following Cerebus. He is co-editor and contributor to the Kindle book, Twin Peaks in the Rearview Mirror.
