{"product_id":"serious-pig-9780865475977","title":"Serious Pig","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this collection of essays, John Thorne sets our to explore the origins of his identity as a cook, going \"here\" (the Maine coast, where he'd summered as a child and returned as an adult for a decade's sojourn), \"there\" (southern Louisiana, where he was captivated by Creole and Cajun cooking), and \"everywhere\" (where he provides a sympathetic reading of such national culinary icons as the hamburger, white bread, and American cheese, and sits down to a big bowl of Texas red). These intelligent, searching essays are a passionate meditation on food, character, and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Thorne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780865475977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2005 pg. 125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Thorne\u003c\/b\u003e and\u003cb\u003e Matt Lewis Thorne\u003c\/b\u003e live in Northampton, MA.
