Description

LOCAL AUTHOR - Winifred Bird EATING WILD JAPAN Wednesday, August 11th at 6:30pm From bracken to butterbur to "princess" bamboo, some of Japan's most iconic foods are foraged, not grown, in its forests, fields, and coastal waters--yet most Westerners have never heard of them. In this book, local Oregon resident and journalist Winifred Bird eats her way from one end of the country to the other in search of the hidden stories of Japan's wild foods, the people who pick them, and the places whose histories they've shaped.
