    First Catch - Study of a Spring...

    “Eagle, a chef and food writer, uses a nine-dish lunch as the occasion to ruminate about cooking, and life” (New York Times Book Review). 
     
    First, Catch is a cookbook without recipes, an invitation to journey through the digressive mind of a chef at work, and a hymn to a singular nine-dish festive spring lunch. In Eagle’s kitchen, open shelves reveal colorful jars of vegetables pickling over the course of months, and a soffritto of onions, celery, and carrots cook slowly under a watchful gaze in a skillet heavy enough to double as a murder weapon. Eagle has both the sharp eye of a food scientist as he tries to identify the seventeen unique steps of boiling water, as well as of that of a roving food historian as he ponders what the spice silphium tasted like to the Romans, who over-ate it to worldwide extinction. He is a tour guide to the world of ingredients, a culinary explorer, and thoughtful commentator on the ways immigration, technology, and fashion has changed the way we eat. He is also a food philosopher, asking the question: at what stage does cooking begin? Is it when we begin to apply heat or acid to ingredients? Is it when we gather and arrange what we will cook—and perhaps start to salivate? Or does it start even earlier, in the wandering late-morning thought, “What should I eat for lunch?” 
     
    Irreverent and charming, yet also illuminating and brilliantly researched, First, Catch encourages us to slow down and focus on what it means to cook. With this astonishing and beautiful book, Thom Eagle joins the ranks of great food writers like M.F.K. Fisher, Alice Waters, and Samin Nosrat in offering us inspiration to savor, both in and out of the kitchen.

    “A contemplation of cooking and eating, a return to the great tradition of food writing inspired by M.F.K. Fisher’s The Gastronomical Me . . .  Eagle writes with a wit and sharpness that can turn a chapter on fermenting pickles into a riff on death and decay while still making it seem like something you would like to put in your mouth.” —Mark Haskell Smith, Los Angeles Times 
     
    “In two dozen short chapters linked like little sausages, he serves up a bounty of fresh, often tart opinions about food and cooking . . .  Eagle is a natural teacher; his enthusiasm and broad view of food preparation is both instructive and inspiring . . .  Eagle’s prose, while conversational in tone, is as crafted and layered as his cuisine. Never bland, it is also brightly seasoned with strong opinions . . .  Rare among food writing, this book is bound to change the way you think about your next meal.” —Heller McAlpin, Christian Science Monitor

    Questioning Cancer - A Brief...

    Is there more we should know about Cancer and could we do more ourselves in times of need? Are we receiving the best treatment our doctors can possibly offer?  Is Chemotherapy, radiation or surgery the only answer? This journey started some nine years ago having witnessed the loss of many loved ones to Cancer. I felt the need to educate myself and understand why now in the 21st Century, we still have below average treatment protocols that are shockingly unsuccessful in their results.   I wanted to know why we have become so passively accepting of limited treatment methods and why we do not take responsibility for our own actions in Life and when we are unwell. To question Cancer means to question our lifestyles and what we allow ourselves to be exposed to within our homes and the environment all around us. Simple yet effective methods for alleviating disease have been around for decades, yet the common narrative remains the same as we are all led to believe falsely that its not possible to cure Cancers, safely, long-term without causing harm. Orthodox medicine is ripping us off and yet we watch, while many suffer in pain, why? Empowering ourselves with knowledge has far reaching benefits especially in times of illness. The ideas and methods outlined in this book are inexpensive solutions that can be integrated into any routine. Avoiding and switching our perceptions cost nothing and can have the biggest impacts when we become conscious consumers. The Earth has always provided for us in nutrition and medicine, it is only relatively recently that we have learnt to ignore the abundance of this truly incredible world we live in. Nature doesn't need to be modified by man, simply understood.
