TO BOLDLY GROW Finding Joy, Adventure, and Dinner in Your Own Backyard

Author and narrator Tamar Haspel's entertaining and joyful performance of her agricultural adventures challenges her claim that she is not a gardener. When Haspel, a food columnist for the WASHINGTON POST, moves to Cape Cod with her husband, she decides to get her hands dirty in order to eat cleaner and enjoy the fruits of her foraging. Haspel's engaging down-to-earth tone is lighthearted and self-deprecating. Her awe at garden alchemy, personable chickens, and lobster pods is touching and encourages the reexamination of our food origins in order to better appreciate what nourishes us on so many levels. This audiobook is a bonanza of cultivating and cooking tips, along with much food for thought for wannabe gardeners and foodies alike. M.F. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2022]
