Langdon Cook

    Langdon Cook ist ein Autor, dessen Werke sich mit bemerkenswerten, oft verborgenen Welten beschäftigen. Seine als „unerschrocken und inspiriert“ beschriebenen Schriften erforschen geheimnisvolle Untergrundgemeinschaften und abenteuerliche Lebensstile. Mit einem Stil, der sowohl lyrisch als auch praktisch ist, verbindet Cook gekonnt Feldforschung mit fesselnden Erzählungen und enthüllt seinen Lesern weniger bekannte Aspekte des Lebens.

    • Foraging is not just a throwback to our hunter-gatherer past; it's a way to reconnect with the landscape. 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 bushwhacks through rugged mountain forests in search of edible mushrooms. 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.
