Survival Food - North Woods...

Thomas Pecore Weso

In these coming-of-age tales set on the Menominee Indian Reservation of the 1980s and 1990s, Thomas Pecore Weso explores the interrelated nature of meals and memories. As he puts it, “I cannot separate foods from the moments in my life when I first tasted them.” Weso’s stories recall the foods that influenced his youth in northern Wisconsin: subsistence meals from hunted, fished, and gathered sources; the culinary traditions of the German, Polish, and Swedish settler descendants in the area; and the commodity foods distributed by the government—like canned pork, dried beans, and powdered eggs—that made up the bulk of his family’s pantry. His mom called this “survival food.” These stories from the author’s teen and tween years—some serious, some laugh-out-loud funny—will take readers from Catholic schoolyards to Native foot trails to North Woods bowling alleys, while providing Weso’s perspective on the political currents of the era. The book also contains dozens of recipes, from turtle soup and gray squirrel stew to twice-baked cheesy potatoes. This follow-up to Weso’s Good Seeds: A Menominee Indian Food Memoir is a hybrid of modern foodways, Indigenous history, and creative nonfiction from a singular storyteller. “This book is not only about survival food, but about the singular beauty, creativity, and fortitude that comes out of that survival.” —Chef Sean Sherman, author, The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen “Survival Food is interesting because it’s one part cookbook, three parts memoir, one part history, and one part multidisciplinary exploration of its setting, northern Wisconsin." —James Norton, The Cookbook Test

Why Geese Don't Get Obese (and...

Eric P. Widmaier

Imagine being able to consume 250,000 calories daily without gaining weight. 
If you had the metabolism of a shrew you could. And while most of us can't hold our breath for more than a few minutes, the Weddell seal can remain under water for a full 75 minutes! 
Through many amazing examples, Why Geese Don't Get Obese discusses the mechanisms humans and other creatures have evolved to gauge their need for food; gather water and oxygen; circulate blood; regulate body temperature; respond to stressful situations; and maintain other survival needs. 
Peppy prose and just the right amount of detail make this audio-book a delight and a fitting ode to the remarkable resilience of nature!

Peach Street to Lobster Lane:...

Felicity Cloake

'A glorious freewheel through the culinary quirks and delights of the USA – an unmissable treat!' – Tim Spector 
When the nation’s ‘taster-in-chief’ Felicity Cloake announced her dream to cycle across America, the reactions were… mixed: “You’ll get squashed,” warned a Californian colleague. “You’ll be murdered,” added her mum. Friends panicked: “But… what will you eat?” 
Determined to prove there’s more to American food than the cartoonish glamour of burgers and doughnuts (though she tries those too), Felicity embarks on the ultimate coast-to-coast adventure, tackling highways, byways and pieways by bike in an unforgettable election year. While the news cycle spins with outrage, what she discovers on the ground is far richer: a wildly varied place of warm hospitality, local pride and unforgettable flavours — from crawfish stew to sauerkraut balls, Memphis barbecue to Mission burritos, Italian beef to Tex-Mex gyoza, she dives into iconic dishes and the stories behind them. 
Drawn to the scale, energy and contrasts of a country as complex as its cuisine, Felicity takes us along for the ride — mile by mile, meal by meal — finding a nation that’s welcoming, generous and full of heart where it counts: around the table. 
This non-fiction travelogue blends cycling with culinary curiosity, as Cloake’s autobiography unfolds through regional dishes and the cultural narratives that shape them. By the end, it reads like a set of vivid essays—part travel, part recreation, part sports endurance—stitched together by cooking and the generosity of strangers. 
For fans of Anna Mcnuff (Barefoot Britain), David Lebovitz (My Paris Kitchen), Janine Marsh (My Four Seasons in France), Jane Bertch (The French Ingredient), and Samin Nosrat (Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat).
