Dorothy Kalins, founding editor of \u003cem\u003eSavuer\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDorothy’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 favourite techniques. Marcella Hazan warns her against valuing look over flavour. 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 meatloaf to David Tanis’s Swiss Chard Gratin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Kitchen Whisperers\u003c\/em\u003e 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.
