Description:

A charming ode (with recipes) to eating well and locally, on $40 dollars per week, from a recently unemployed food-journalism veteran. In 2009, Robin Mather found herself unemployed. She consequently moved to rural Michigan, where she committed to eating three home-cooked, seasonal, and local meals a day. In essays that chronicle a year of her ambitious project, Mather explores the confusion surrounding local eating and examines how often we fail to pay attention to the seasons that surround us.

Introduction


Spring



On settling in and making maple



On snapping turtles and strawberries



On asparagus and the all-too-brief window



On early beets and solar hoop houses



On chooks and coffee



On spring lamb and the butcher's headaches


Summer



On springing heifers and well-made cheese



On fireflies, sweet cherries, and the hissing kettle



On wild-crafting, bartering, and the very warm hat



On dog days, a new arrival, and heretical thinking



On cicadas, sweet corn, and the pleasure of a job well done


Fall



On the traitorous sumac, seeking warmth, and the plentiful pantry



On cider, cornmeal, and comfort



On pumpkins, pears, and woolly bears



On Thanksgiving and the local table



On making something from nothing, or the value of kitchen wizardry


Winter



On chilly winds and homey contentment



On blizzards and dried beans



On intoxicating aromas and the world outside my door



On deep snow, bitter nights, and newfound wealth
