Take a walk through dark, mysterious woods and into the life of reluctant chef and fabulous storyteller Ileana Regan. Her book shares flavor from her Grandmothers grill room in Indiana and adventures foraging a mushroom kingdom with her father. The real hook here is a connection with nature and chef Regan’s knowledge of transferring nutrients from the forest to her plates. If you can’t get a reservation at her Milkweed Inn, deep in the Hiawatha National Forest, Fieldwork will take you there. It’s a fabulous page turner filled with American tales of family life and authentic adventure in the midwest.
