This was a great book about a food writer turned oyster grower learning about the process of bringing food to the table. Lots of great writing about the effort and labor going into growing oysters on a leased bottom farm in Massachusetts, and the restaurants and buyers that purchase these high-end shellfish. Fantastic descriptions of the larger than life personalities involved - and the juxtaposition of grungy oyster growers and hoity toity 5 star chefs that buy the read deal ingredients. Really worth the fun read! ( ) Although this gives you a highly detailed picture of the oyster growing business, it is so much more because the author is part of the picture in unbelievable ways! I am so impressed with what Erin went through, physically, emotionally to get "into" this subject and now, of course, she will never really leave it. The book reads like a novel. Erin's own life is a major part of this book, right along with the lives of the oysters. A fascinating read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Bill Buford's Heat meets Phoebe Damrosch's Service Included in this unique blend of personal narrative, food miscellany, and history In March of 2009, Erin Byers Murray ditched her pampered city girl lifestyle and convinced the rowdy and mostly male crew at Island Creek Oysters in Duxbury, Massachusetts, to let a completely unprepared, aquaculture-illiterate food and lifestyle writer work for them for a year to learn the business of oysters. The result is Shucked-part love letter, part memoir, and part documentary about the world's most beloved bivalves. Providing an in-depth look at the work that goes into getting oysters from farm to table, Shucked shows Erin's full-circle journey through the modern day oyster farming process and tells a dynamic story about the people who grow our food, and the cutting-edge community of weathered New England oyster farmers who are defying convention and looking ahead. The narrative also interweaves Erin's personal story-the tale of how a technology-obsessed workaholic learns to slow life down a little bit and starts to enjoy getting her hands dirty (and cold). This is a book for oyster lovers everywhere, but also a great listen for locavores and foodies in general. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
