The Raw and the Cooked
Jim Harrison
Atlantic Books
<p><b>A classic collection full of salty wisdom, from 'the Henry Miller of food writing' (<i>Wall Street Journal) </i>and author of <i>Legends of the Fall.</i></b></p><p>Food is an extreme sport for Jim Harrison. As a seven-month old baby he was found chewing the leather binding of the family Bible with 'its slightly beefy flavour'; from then on, when he didn't have his nose in a book he could be found eating - everything. <i>The Raw and the Cooked</i> collects his musings on meat, marinades and a million other things besides, from the man who likes to wrestle his dinner to the ground then wash it down with a really good 1967 Latour.</p>
