Foraged Food, Engaging tales and Delightful Recipes
 Stinging nettle soup -for real?
Oh, yes. Author Langdon Cook insists you haven't had great foraged cuisine until you've tried his stinging nettle soup.
With an eye for adventure and a droll sense of humor, Langdon Cook shares tales of foraging adventures and favorite recipes Friday, February 26, 7:00 - 9:00 PM at Barn Beach Reserve. You'll have a second chance to trade recipes with Cook at his book-signing Saturday February 27, 1:00 - 3:00 PM at A Book For All Seasons.
 Filled with humor, Cook's newly-released Fat of the Land shares his experiences as he ambles about Northwest coastlines and forests picking up things to eat - and finding them surprisingly tasty! Cook recounts his journey from wrangler of pre-packaged calories to connoisseur of coveted wild edibles, and also shares favorite recipes he has concocted for his delectable treasures.
Whether free-diving in Puget Sound with hopes of spearing a snaggletooth lingcod, digging razor clams on a coastal beach, or coming face to face with Papa Bear in a mountain huckleberry patch, Cook frames his adventures in the fascinating world of wild foods and foraging. Let Langdon Cook show you how to safely navigate the Northwest's bounty of natural, edible delights, and reconnect with the landscape.
"Smart, funny, and hugely knowledgeable, Langdon Cook is a walking field guide and a gifted storyteller," says Molly Wizenberg, author of A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes From My Kitchen Table.
