Recently, Elizabeth Gilbert unpacked some boxes of family books that had been sitting in her mother's attic for decades. Among the old, dusty hardbacks was a book called At Home on the Range, written by her great-grandmother, Margaret Yardley Potter. As Gilbert writes in her Foreword: 'I jumped up & dashed through the house to find my husb&, so I could read parts of it to him: Listen to this! The humor! The insight! The sophistication! Then I followed him around the kitchen while he was making our dinner (lamb shanks), & I continued reading aloud as we ate... By the end of the night there were three of us sitting at that table. Gima had come to join us, & she was wonderful, & I was in love.' The cookbook was far ahead of its time. In it, Potter espouses the importance of farmer's markets & ethnic food (Italian, Jewish & German), derides preservatives & culinary shortcuts & generally celebrates a devotion to epicurean adventures. Potter takes car trips out to Pennsylvania Dutch country to eat pickled pork products, & to the eastern shore of Maryl&, where she learns to catch & prepare eels so delicious, she says, they must be 'devoured in a silence almost devout'. Part scholar & part crusader for a more open food conversation than currently existed, it's not hard to see where Elizabeth Gilbert inherited both her love of food & her warm, infectious prose. At Home on the Range is a fascinating, humorous & useful cookbook from the past that is essential for the present day. ...
