There are lots of ways to make bread at home, but my favorite is Jim Lahey's no-knead method. Whenever I make it, I feel like a magician, taking a meal full of gaps and making it into an abundant whole.
An Everlasting Meal is less a cookbook with page after page of recipes, and more a book full of the author's thoughts about her favorite ways to feed, and even spiritually nourish, people with great food.
