Reviews

"Most of the action in Brad Leone's new cookbook, Field Notes for Food Adventure takes place outside the confines of the kitchen walls -- a creative direction that is likely welcome after over a year of rolling pandemic lockdowns and stay-in-place orders... It's also a meditation on seasonality and how it impacts the way we eat."--Salon

"anyone who's seen the man stick his arm in a catfish's mouth for the sake of YouTube needs this book faster than you can say "wourder." You'll read every word in Brad's voice, which comes free of charge."--Bon Appetit

"Part cookbook and part ode to nature--specifically, that of the East Coast--Leone's book celebrates the fun and food found in the wild...Pictures are bountiful and will make readers long for a night under the stars, or maybe just some lamb chops. A breezy paean to respecting and connecting with nature through food."--Booklist
