Plenty: One Man, One Woman, and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally
Description
When a couple decides to eat only food grown within 100 miles of their Vancouver home, an ordinary year becomes an illuminating experiment in sustainability, community, and commitment. Their search for local ingredients leads through farmers’ markets, backyards, fisheries, and farms, revealing both the pleasures and frustrations of eating close to home. Witty, candid, and richly reported, the book explores the environmental costs of the modern food system while celebrating seasonal abundance and the people who produce it. It is an engaging memoir and a thought-provoking call to reconsider where food comes from and how our choices shape the world around us.
