The Modern Forager's Cookbook

The Modern Forager's Cookbook Synopsis

Forage for Your Own Delicious Ingredients and Prepare Inventive Meals at Home

In The Modern Forager's Cookbook, nationally acclaimed chef Rob Connoley offers more than seventy-five recipes featuring ingredients that any home cook can forage, grow, or hunt. Each recipe shares modern flavor and texture pairings that will excite the professional chef and home cook alike. The comforting mesquite chocolate chip cookie, the indulgent pork belly poppers, and the haute hackberry rabbit paté launch homespun do-it-yourself dishes into modern classics.

In addition to learning to cook foraged and farmed foods, readers will explore the basics of wild plant harvesting (including identification and ethical best practices) while enjoying humorous anecdotes from Connoley's years of remote gathering. Photographer Jay Hemphill also presents stunning images that capture the bounty of North America.
