A “not-done-dreaming exploration of alternative ways of living in the now,” Free Food is the latest rabbit-hole-in-book-form from local author, publisher, teacher, and clandestine restaurateur Andrew Barton. With Free Food, Barton hopes to “inspire a ‘free’ approach to cooking and eating. A literally down-to-earth approach – as in: food grown, purchased, cooked, and consumed with an awareness of the Earth. A reflection on an idealistic, optimistic, possibility-fueled young adulthood spent around tables of co-op houses and would-be communes. An appreciation for groovy, light-hearted, no-rules cuisine.” Features guest essays from other Wellspent pals too, including Umi Organic Ramen founder Lola Milholland and forager/writer Jonathan Kauffman.
