In Person Author Talk: Maria Finn, Forage Gather Feast

We're excited to welcome Maria Finn to celebrate her new book, Forage Gather Feast: 100+ Recipes from West Coast Forests, Shores, and Urban Spaces! Celebrate the pleasure of the West Coast's wilderness (or even your backyard) with this approachable forage-to-kitchen cookbook featuring recipes using foragable foods-from seaweed to mushrooms and everything in between. Maria will join us for an author talk, Q&A, and book signing on Wednesday, June 5th at 6:30pm here at the shop.

Reservations are non-refundable and include a signed copy of the $29.95 book. Applicable sales tax and a $0.75 transaction fee are also included. Can't attend but still want a signed book? Order here for shipping or in-store pickup.

About the book: Identify foragable foods in your own backyard to create simple, rustic recipes from the bounty of the coast, forest, and urban spaces up and down the West Coast.

Featuring more than 100 recipes and chock-full of lush photography, this cookbook shows you what to do with the delicious foodstuffs you can dig, snip, or catch anywhere from Alaska to California, then put it all together in homecooked meals best shared with friends and gorgeous sunset views or cooked in the wild over a campfire. Reimagine your cooking and unlock new flavors from the abundance that surrounds us.

Maria Finn is an author and chef living on a houseboat in San Francisco Bay. During the pandemic, she started hosting Flora and Fungi Wild Food Adventures, which is an experiential food event teaching people how to forage along the West Coast from the Sierras to Homer, Alaska.
