Beschreibung
Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food meets Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle in this part memoir, part how-to guide by Tamar Haspel (author of the Washington Post column Unearthed) about the unexpected joys of what she calls "first-hand food"-meals we grow, forage, fish, or even hunt from the world around us.

Journalist and self-proclaimed "crappy gardener" Tamar Haspel is on a mission: to show us that raising or gathering our own food is not as hard as it's often made out to be. When she and her husband move from Manhattan to two acres on Cape Cod, they decide to adopt a more active approach to their diet: raising chickens, growing tomatoes, even foraging for mushrooms and hunting their own meat. They have more ambition than practical know-how, but that's not about to stop them from trying…even if sometimes their reach exceeds their (often muddy) grasp.

With "first-hand food" as her guiding principle, Haspel embarks on a grand experiment to stop relying on experts to teach her the ropes (after all, they can make anything grow), and start using her own ingenuity and creativity. Some of her experiments are a rousing success (refining her own sea salt). Others are a spectacular failure (the turkey plucker engineered from an old washing machine). Filled with practical tips and hard-won wisdom, To Boldly Grow allows us to journey alongside Haspel as she goes from cluelessness to competence, learning to scrounge dinner from the landscape around her and discovering that a direct connection to what we eat can utterly change the way we think about our food-and ourselves.

Über den Autor
Tamar Haspel writes the James Beard Award-winning Washington Post column Unearthed, which tackles food from every angle: agriculture, nutrition, obesity, the food environment, and DIY. She’s also written for Discover, National Geographic’s The Plate, Vox, Slate, Eater, Fortune, and Edible Cape Cod.
Zusammenfassung
TRENDING PANDEMIC HOBBY: The National Gardening Association estimates that, as of 2013, 42 million households-about 1 in 3-grew some kind of food. This year has brought a particular spike in vegetable seed sales and home canning, and women's interest in hunting has made news in the last few years. This book is a constructive and positive outlet for these people looking to switch up their boring food routine.

BROAD CROSS-SECTION OF READERS: There's a proven audience of armchair readers for this kind of lifestyle book and To Boldly Grow appeals to beginners, expert gardeners, and everyone in between. We will target a wide audience of firsthand fooders, fed-up dieters, bona fide homesteaders, environmentalists, and armchair food enthusiasts in the marketing of this book.

WINNING AUTHOR PLATFORM: Tamar Haspel currently has 16.6k followers on Twitter, and she discusses her no-nonsense brand of food and nutrition advice both on her social media and through her popular Unearthed column with The Washington Post. Her connections and reach will be valuable in our promotion of To Boldly Grow.

INNOVATIVE GUIDE TO GARDENING: While To Boldly Grow falls under the same category as Michael Pollan, it is different from the first wave of food books and doesn't take a precious approach. This more accessible tone is one we think can reach an even bigger audience.

RELATABLE BEGINNINGS: Tamar truly is a "crap gardener," and her hilarious experience is one that shines through these pages. But this isn't just a funny memoir about her mistakes. She actually inspires readers to believe they can do it, too!
