Concluding the "Year of The Hunter-Gatherer" is "The Gather," an issue surrounding the ancient practice of foraging. From the rocky foothills of high-mountain peaks to the tender shores of twisting creeks we gingerly collect a wild bounty. A Truffle Forray reveals gourmet treasures hiding just beneath the surface. Recipes for "Sticky Ribs with Salal Berry & Oregon Grape Sauce," "Chicory Chai," "Elderflower Lemon Drizzle Cake," "Nettle Pasta" and a "Huckleberry Shrub," tantalize the palate for wild foods. How to "Tap Your Own Maple Syrup," a tutorial on Sun Printing and appreciations on the evolution of Columbine and on Birding bookend tutorials on making your own "Wild Apothecary," and building a "Wild Pantry.” In all, a grand celebration of the perspective of the land.
