Publisher's summary

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.

Unlike Any Other Non-Fiction

I enjoy autobiographies and nonfiction books but haven’t come across any like this before. David shares anecdotes that both amuse and educate the reader on cultures, histories, and foods outside of the limited scope of a traditional American perspective. David takes you all over the world while incorporating stories of pirates, knights, fishermen, and hunters. After finishing the book, I immediately bought hard copies to send to other family members as this is a boom that can appeal to a wide range of tastes.
