Experience Nature Through Your Food

Have you ever stopped to think about the fact that everything you eat—whether it comes from a grocery store, a local fast-food outlet, your back yard, a snack machine, or your friend’s kitchen table—ultimately comes from some element of nature?

This book is designed to help you make the connection between nature and your food. Along the way, you may learn something new about yourself, your relationship to food, and how you connect with nature.

Claire Mandeville is a food and wellness coach and the creator of FoodForEarthlings.net—a blog that explores how we can nourish ourselves in harmony with nature. Finding balance and well-being in nature, Claire is an enthusiastic gardener and wilderness explorer and loves playing with food, her family, and her friends. Her passion for healthy, decadent living is supported by growing food year-round, retreating in her beloved Alaska cabin, and creating with color, movement, and sound.
As the creator of Identify that Plant—a website for people interested in learning how to identify their personal “mystery” plants—Angelyn Whitmeyer appreciates nearly all plants. (She dislikes a few which can be troublesome, such as poison ivy.) Angelyn looks for an experience of nature every day while she tends her gardens, photographs plants for IdentifyThatPlant.com, forages for edible weeds, and prepares food with nature’s gifts.
