Neat, very engaging handbook/memoir on foraging food in the Pacific Northwest. Includes recipes. Very fish/seafood/mushroom oriented. Author also maintainsa comprehensive blog and teaches hands-on classes locally. ( ) Can't decide whether to hug Langdon Cook for writing this fabulous book about the spectacular natural wonders (both edible and nonedible) of the Pacific Northwest or slap him for spreading the word about places I'd rather see remain untouched. I probably owe the guy five stars, but I'm one of those "fleece-clad" weekend types he sneers at so a 4 is all he's getting--unless he shares some of those huckleberries :). A terrific food read even if you can't boil water. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

And Langdon Cook is not just your typical grocery cart-toting dad. For him, gourmet delicacies abound, free for the taking if we just open our eyes. As a result, he finds himself free-diving in icy Puget Sound in hopes of spearing a snaggletooth lingcod, armed with nothing more than a "Hawaiian sling." He tempts fate by eating mushrooms that may or may not be poisonous. He strings up afly rod to chase after sea-run trout. He even pulls on the gardening gloves to collect stinging nettles. In wry, detailed prose, he traces his journey from wrangler of pre-packaged calories to connoisseur of coveted wild edibles. Structured around the seasons of the year, each chapter focuses on a specific food type and concludes with a recipe featuring the author's hard-won bounty, a savory stop to each adventure-filled morsel.
