How to Stride Ahead - Part One is the first installment of a video series that correspond to chapters in Tamar Adler's wonderful An Everlasting Meal. Instead of the standard instructional video, Tamar wanted something that illustrated the essence of cooking, something that got people excited to both read An Everlasting Meal and to get in the kitchen themselves.
“An Everlasting Meal is beautifully intimate, approaching cooking as a narrative that begins not with a list of ingredients or a tutorial on cutting an onion, but with a way of thinking…. Tamar is one of the great writers I know—her prose is exquisitely crafted, beautiful and clear-eyed and open, in the thoughtful spirit of M.F.K. Fisher. This is a book to sink into and read deeply.” — Alice Waters, from the Foreword
We hope you enjoy this video, their are more to follow. Please reblog and embed elsewhere and pick up the book October 18th!

In An Everlasting Meal, the chapter How to Stride Ahead urges you to cook all of your vegetables as soon as you bring them home. We often think that vegetables should be fresh hours before we cook and serve them, but this is not a necessity.
This video illustrates that aspect of the chapter as Tamar cleans, cuts and roasts the vegetables she has brought back from the farmer's market (see How to Stride Ahead - Part 1). The vegetables are then placed in jars and can be kept for meals throughout the week.
Another in a series of videos being done to celebrate the release of Tamar Adler's An Everlasting Meal which is being released by Scribner on October 18th.

Inspired by the chapter of the same name from Tamar Adler's An Everlasting Meal, How to Boil Water suggests getting a pot of water boiling before looking for what to put in it.

Another chapter from An Everlasting Meal by Tamar Adler, this one illustrating the versatility of egg. If you have an egg, you have yourself a meal.

This is a channel to showcase the videos I have done for Tamar Adler. Tamar is a wonderful chef and writer and her first book, An Everlasting Meal, comes out October 18th 2011.
On this channel you can find videos that correspond to chapters in her book, as well as some bonus videos for the press and just for fun.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
