To Eat with Grace
A Selection of Essays from Orion Magazine
What does it mean to 'eat with grace'? This is the question that the writers of these collected essays and poems attempt to answer. Whilst they arrive at different conclusions, they all discuss the idea of connection, whether that is with each other, with our inner selves, or with the earth that sustains us.
Whether foraging, baking or gardening, digging their hands into the soil of their backyards or being seduced by the exotic fruits of a far-off place, these writers praise the sensuous and spiritual ways that our food can nourish us. As Darra Goldstein writes in her Foreword, "When we eat good food, we smell and taste the earth, and thereby reconnect with it: this is what it means to eat with grace."
