Max Watman's compulsively readable memoir of his dogged quest to
craft meals from scratch.
After a harrowing experience with a pink-slime burger, acclaimed
writer Max Watman resolves to stock his pantry with real food.
Invigorated by memories of his childhood in rural Virginia with
foodie parents, he hunts, fishes, gardens, bakes, makes cheese,
raises livestock, butchers, preserves, and pickles. All does not go
as planned: his backyard paradise is invaded by a defiant
chicken-killing raccoon; his homemade Camembert tastes like chalk;
and for one moment it seems as if he's lost a thousand-pound steer.
With humor and infectious enthusiasm, Watman perseveres, detailing
the pitfalls and triumphs of his do-it-yourself adventures without
pretense. On his quest he learns that the value of the endeavor is
in the attempt, and that living from scratch is not all-or-nothing.
With a blend of down-home spirit and literary panache, Watman
serves up a delectable taste of the farm life--minus the farm.
