Editorial Reviews
Review
“Those familiar with Thorne’s work will not be disappointed with Pot on the Fire; those new to it will experience the joy of prose that welcomes you to the hearth and invites you to stay….the effect of Thorne’s gastronomic philosophy on his prose, from the remembrance of a first kitchen knife to the passage in which he peels an apple for his dying father, is to open up the reader’s sense of time, so that each nuance and thought provides a doorway into the contemplation of a life well-savored.”–Kyla Wazana, San Francisco Chronicle
