{"product_id":"fat-of-the-land-langdon-cook-9781594850073","title":"Fat of the Land: Adventures of a 21st Century Forager","description":"* Quirky, engaging book about the hot topic of sustainable foods\u003cbr\u003e * Combines adventure with locavorism\u003cbr\u003e * Delves into iconic Northwest staples, such as huckleberries, Dungeness crab, and morels \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 tempts fate by eating mushrooms that may or may not be poisonous. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Langdon Cook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1594850070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594850073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skipstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Langdon Cook","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202982428927,"sku":"9781594850073","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9e16f55-ba28-4e7d-9190-d498ad947c8a.jpg?v=1756833966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fat-of-the-land-langdon-cook-9781594850073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
