ABOUT THE BOOK: "Washing the dishes is an ordinary, everyday task–but with examination and care, it can become much more. In this reverent guide to the household chore, Peter Miller shows us how washing dishes can become a joy, a delight, a meditative exercise, and an act of grace and rhythm. We pay so much attention to recipes but little attention to maintenance and cleanup. Washing the dishes is as much a part of making a meal as prepping the vegetables, making the sauces, or seasoning the meats. . .  It is a bustling musical of water and soap, of flow and surface, and done well, the fragile shall sit as proudly as the cast-iron."
