review 1: Fascinating book on fungi foraging to meet the demands of clamoring chefs and finicky foodies. Quite an eye-opening adventure into the network that provides coveted mushroom varieties to high-end restaurants in Seattle and New York.The book covers foraging from Northern California to the Yukon with a very interesting cast of characters. Taxonomy, geography, history and recipes thrown in for good measure.
review 2: I liked this even better than "The Fat of the Land". Once I got started, it was such a compelling read. This is the story of the foragers who supply fresh mushrooms and other finds to fine restaurants, and Cook tackles the subject from many angles. He talks to the chefs, to the middleman buyers and most of all, to the secretive and tricky foragers, or... more at least to whoever will talk to him. It's fascinating. less
