And Langdon Cook is not just your typical grocery cart-toting dad. For him, gourmet delicacies abound, free for the taking if we just open our eyes. As a result, he finds himself free-diving in icy Puget Sound in hopes of spearing a snaggletooth lingcod, armed with nothing more than a \"Hawaiian sling.\" He tempts fate by eating mushrooms that may or may not be poisonous. He strings up a fly rod to chase after sea-run trout. He even pulls on the gardening gloves to collect stinging nettles. In wry, detailed prose, he traces his journey from wrangler of pre-packaged calories to connoisseur of coveted wild edibles. Structured around the seasons of the year, each chapter focuses on a specific food type and concludes with a recipe featuring the author's hard-won bounty, a savory stop to each adventure-filled morsel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mountaineers Books, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180137169136,"sku":"9781594853975","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781594853975_p0.jpg?v=1763814532","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781594853975","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
