Up from her Bay Area home is chef, food activist and, now, author Jessica Prentice with her infomed, insightful (and tasty) book, Full Moon Feast: Food and the Hunger for Connection (Chelsea Green). "Closer to Walden Pond than The Joy of Cooking, Full Moon Feast realizes a fundamental relationship to food, one that weaves history, anthropology, folk life, myth, medicine, a personal journey, and, of course, food itself into a whole." - Deborah Madison, from the Foreword. "Fired by the abuses of modern industrialism, this poet-chef tells her life story as a vision quest for a world of harmony and connectedness. In Full Moon Feast, we discover new uses and new meanings in the gifts of earth and sea." - Betty Fussell.
