Is it just to feed ourselves and others? Or is there something more revolutionary going on?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSmall Fires\u003c\/i\u003e, Rebecca May Johnson reinvents cooking— that simple act of rolling up our sleeves, wielding a knife, spattering red hot sauce on our books— as a way of experiencing ourselves and the world. Cooking is thinking: about the liberating constraint of tying apron strings; the transformative dynamics of shared meals; the meaning of appetite and bodily pleasure; the wild subversiveness of the recipe, beyond words or control. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis joyful, revelatory work of memory and meditation both complicates and electrifies life in the kitchen. It shows us the radical potential of the thing we do every day: the power of small fires burning everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReaders love \u003ci\u003eSmall Fires\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'I adored it.
