A fascinating and engaging book - part memoir, part theology of food, part ecology. Very well written, and much more approachable than other (also excellent) work by Bahnson or his colleague Norman Wirzba.

I admit to a significant bias reading this book--Fred is my cousin, and I have grown up listening to his stories from Chiapas, Anathoth, and beyond. (I have also grown up listening to him and his wife Elizabeth play fiddle and sing, and I have distinctly happy memories from their wedding day.) Reading this book felt like an extension of our family dinners and gatherings, an expression of faith and giving that has always been the core of our fellowship together. It was a treat to read, and I am thrilled to share that feeling with any and everyone who reads what cousin Fred has to say.
