entertainment for the mind, soul, heart, and stomach." -Kirkus
Review "Adventurous Anthony Bourdain-esque eaters and readers will
savor David Moscow's every word as he travels far (Ciao, sea of
Sardinia) and near (howdy, Texas plains) to learn from farmers,
hunters, fisherfolk, and scientists about how our food reaches our
plates." -Reader's Digest David Moscow, the creator and star of the
groundbreaking series From Scratch, takes us on an exploration of
our planet's complex and interconnected food supply, showing us
where our food comes from and why it matters in his new book of
global culinary adventures. In an effort to help us reconnect with
the food that sustains our lives, David Moscow has spent four years
going around the world, meeting with rock-star chefs, and sourcing
ingredients within local food ecosystems-experiences taking place
in over twenty countries that include milking a water buffalo to
make mozzarella for pizza in Italy; harvesting oysters in Long
Island Sound and honey from wild bees in Kenya; and making patis in
the Philippines, beer in Malta, and sea salt in Iceland. Moscow
takes us on deep dives (sometimes literally) with fisherfolk,
farmers, scientists, community activists, historians, hunters, and
more, bringing back stories of the communities, workers, and
environments involved-some thriving, some in jeopardy, all
interconnected with food. The result is this travel journal that
marvels in the world around us while simultaneously examining the
environmental issues, cultural concerns, and overlooked histories
intertwined with the food we eat to survive and thrive. Through the
people who harvest, hunt, fish, and forage each day, we come to
understand today's reality and tomorrow's risks and possibilities.
