LANGDON COOK: "Fat of the Land: Adventures of a 21st Century Forager" April 21st at 6pm
Foraging is not just a throwback to our hunter-gatherer past; it's a way
to reconnect with the landscape. 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 bushwhacks through rugged mountain forests in search of edible
mushrooms. He strings up a fly 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.
