Sam Thayer is simply the best wild food author I’ve ever come across. I’ve learned so much from his books and from his direct instruction over the years. He’s definitely the guy to take with you if you are lost in the woods, wondering what you can eat. Actually, if Thayer were with you, you wouldn’t be lost! In all my foraging time spent outdoors harvesting wild plants, bringing them home, processing, cooking and eating them, I have yet to prove Thayer wrong with his methods or postulations.

Star Trek Book of Opposites – has there ever been a better book written for trekkie children? I don’t think so. Teaching the basics of opposites with colorful photos used from the original Star Trek series, this book can be loved and appreciated by all age groups. Now we just need the author to write the Next Generation, DS9, and Voyager versions!

I learned to love cooking from my mother, who practically has a library of cookbooks. From Julia Child to Ferran Adrià, she uses great chef’s recipes primarily as a source of inspiration, not as a set of instructions. Niki Segnit’s book The Flavour Thesaurus is my new go-to book for dinner ideas. Beautifully printed and humorously written, this book the new definitive guidebook for people like me who wish they had a more developed palate.
