The Raw and the Cooked

A classic collection full of salty wisdom, from ‘the Henry Miller of food writing’ ( Wall Street Journal) and author of Legends of the Fall. Food is an extreme sport for Jim Harrison. As a seven-month old baby he was found chewing the leather binding of the family Bible with ‘its slightly beefy flavour’; from then on, when he didn’t have his nose in a book he could be found eating – everything. The Raw and the Cooked collects his musings on meat, marinades and a million other things besides, from the man who likes to wrestle his dinner to the ground then wash it down with a really good 1967 Latour.
