Cooking is thinking: about the liberating constraint of tying apron strings; the meaning of appetite and bodily pleasure; the wild subversiveness of the recipe; the power of small fires burning everywhere.________________FURTHER PRAISE FOR SMALL FIRES'Brave enough to hurt feelings, delicious enough for no one to care' New York Times'Smart, thoughtful, creative' Ruby Tandoh'Destined to become essential reading... Bold, beautiful, daring' Rachel Roddy'Possesses an intellectual fleet footedness and exuberance akin to the writing of Deborah Levy or Rebecca Solnit' I NEWS'I loved this genre-busting book.

It's like getting a clear, immersive listening experience. What a delightful listening experience! The narrator's timing was impeccable, knowing exactly when to pause for effect or let the words flow. Their character voices were distinct yet natural - no over-the-top accents or distracting vocal tics. The audio quality was consistently excellent. Perfect for my daily walks. The story was engaging enough to keep me motivated to exercise but not so complex that I got lost in thought. Great production quality too.
