About this Book

Outlaw Cook is written for anyone who ever wanted to go into the kitchen, lock the door, and have some fun. Yes, the book will get you cooking - everything from a wonderful soup made out of fresh pea pods to buttery-crisp potato pancakes to perfect pecan pie - but these pages offer a much wider range of kitchen pleasures. In his suggestively titled essay "On Not Being a Good Cook," the author argues that there are more interesting things to learn about cooking than merely being good at it.
