Overview

A Baker's Dozen and Other Kitchen MythsTales From a Hot Stove & Other Kitchen Wisdom by James Allen, The Sawdust Sage(TM) Every kitchen runs on myths. Some are passed down like family recipes. Some arrive laminated, frozen, or ""market tested."" Others show up quietly, wearing the comfort of habit and calling it wisdom. A Baker's Dozen and Other Kitchen Myths is a collection of short poems and reflections that examine the everyday beliefs we cook by-about food, convenience, tradition, identity, and the small compromises we make at the table. With humor, insight, and a steady hand at the stove, James Allen (writing as The Sawdust Sage(TM)) explores why menu photos never quite match the plate, how convenience quietly invoices us later, and what the meals that raised us still teach long after the dishes are done. These pieces aren't recipes. They're observations-served warm, sometimes lightly salted, and often dipped in humor. Inside you'll find: Wry takes on processed food, shortcuts, and culinary illusions Reflections on family meals, regional habits, and inherited tastes Gentle satire of modern convenience culture and kitchen ""truths"" Thoughtful moments about comfort, belonging, and care-without sentimentality This book is for readers who appreciate smart humor, honest reflection, and the quiet philosophy hiding in ordinary places. If you've ever trusted a label, waited for a fryer, or learned something important standing at a stove-you'll recognize yourself here. No substitutions required.
