After breaking up with the man she thought she'd marry and losing
her job as a magazine editor, Camas Davis felt totally lost. Out of
love with her life and the world, she knew one thing: that she
wanted to make a change. Camas had spent much of her career writing
about food, but she had never forced herself to grapple with how it
actually got to her plate. And so she set off for France. There, in
the rolling countryside of Gascony, she was welcomed in by the
Chapolard brothers, a family of pig-farmers and butchers. They
would teach her the art of butchery, and with it the art of eating
and drinking the Gascon way. Surrounded by farmers, producers,
cooks and food-lovers, eating some of the world's least processed
and most lovingly made food, Camas discovered the very authenticity
she'd longed for in her old life. She just needed to return to
America, and bring what she'd learnt back with her . . . Killing It
is a book about a woman doing something simultaneously extreme and
unexpected, yet incredibly simple - a return to a relationship with
food we only lost a few decades ago. Funny, irreverent, and totally
inspiring, this is a story about turning your life upside down and
starting again, it is about falling in and out of love, and it is
about understanding what it means to be human and what it means to
be animal too.
