To boldly grow : finding joy, adventure, and dinner in your own backyard / Tamar Haspel.

Haspel, Tamar, (author.).

Summary:

"Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food meets Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle in this part memoir, part how-to guide by Tamar Haspel (author of the Washington Post column Unearthed) about the unexpected joys of what she calls "first-hand food"--meals we grow, forage, fish, or even hunt from the world around us"-- Provided by publisher.
Haspel is on a mission to show us that raising or gathering our own food is not as hard as it is often made out to be. When she and her husband move from Manhattan to two acres on Cape Cod, they decide to adopt a more active approach to their diet: raising chickens, growing tomatoes, even foraging for mushrooms and hunting their own meat. They had more ambition than practical know-how, but Haspel embarked on a grand experiment to stop relying on experts to teach her the ropes and start using her own ingenuity and creativity. Some of her experiments are rousing successes; others spectacular failures. Here she takes us on a journey from cluelessness to competence as she discovers that a direct connection to what we eat can utterly change the way we think about our food-- and ourselves. -- adapted from jacket
