Book Description

October 9, 2012
For anyone interested in local, sustainable, fresh, organic, humane, or slow food, comes Whole Larder Love, showing you how to hunt, fish, forage, and grow your own food and how to prepare it. Going beyond farm-to-table to encompass garden, forest, field, stream, and storeroom-to-table, author Rohan Anderson vividly illustrates the benefits of a lifestyle geared towards providing for yourself from the natural world.

Whole Larder Love author and ultimate DIY-er Rohan Anderson is a family man and a modern-day hunter-gatherer living just outside the historical town of Ballarat, an 1800s gold rush town in Australia. Within this rural landscape Anderson has capitalized on the opportunities for many a culinary adventure. Primarily concerned with how to live off of the land and provide himself and his family with fresh, local food, Anderson has become a passionate hunter, fisher, forager, gardener, pickler, and sometimes barterer. Anderson now wants to share his secrets and experiences in order to help move people away from unhealthy eating habits and people away from unhealthy eating habits and towards a more environmentally sustainable food industry.

Food is an integral part of our lives. And in recent years, more and more people have been asking questions about the food they eat: How does that food get to our plates? How was it grown? What chemicals were used? How was the animal treated? What are the impacts on the environment?

In Whole Larder Love, Anderson gives us easy to follow tips and instructions for setting up a home garden, the best practices for hunting and fishing, how to identify and collect edible food growing in the wild, and the proper tools, gear, and resources to use. Additionally, he gives us a slew of exciting recipes and preparation methods for our ingredients once they've been collected.

This combination how-to manual and cookbook is beautifully illustrated in full-color with Anderson's own photographs, capturing his ingredients, gear, rural surroundings, and exquisite dishes in rich and vivid detail. And with suggestions for possible substitutions and tips on bartering and selecting food from farmer's markets, Whole Larder Love is perfect for foodies, farmers, hunters, gardeners—even urbanites looking to inject their lives with a little rural romance—and anyone else interested in getting more involved with the origins of the food they eat.

Mouthwatering recipes include: Kale Fusilli Tris, Potimarron & Gorgonzola Soup, Vindaloo Hare, Quail Ragu with Polenta, Wild Duck Risotto, Pumpkin Gnocchi, Venison Ossobuco, Eel Cake with White Beans, Chili-Pickled Wild Mushrooms, Spud & Nettle Soup, Arrabiata Fish & Chips, Pork Rack Roast with Honey-roasted Wild Pear and many, many more!

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The way Aussie author Rohan Anderson chronicles his ‘grow, gather, hunt, cook’ lifestyle—complete with arty photos, tips on what to put in your fly-fishing bag and handwritten musings on the deeper meaning of pickling and butchery—you’ll swear he splits his time between Bushwick and the Catskills.”
-Edible Brooklyn
 
This is a thoughtful book with an emphasis on seasonal eating and recipes for the hunter, angler, gardener, and forager.”
-Field & Stream blog
 
“And the man didn't just write the thing; Anderson is also the skillful photographer behind the book's images. For wild food lovers out there this is one book you can't be without.”
-GQ online

About the Author

Rohan Anderson is a modern day food warrior. Raised on a small farm in rural Victoria in south east Australia, Anderson developed not only an affinity for nature, but also an understanding, and appreciation of the role nature plays in providing sustenance. Anderson has taken these lessons into his adult life where he now grows, hunts, fishes, and forages in wild and urban surroundings to feed his family. He also documents his adventures through photography, sharing his recipes, slow food philosophies and, (sometimes contentious) views on his hugely popular blog, Whole Larder Love. Describing himself not as a chef, but rather a family cook, Anderson is influenced by rustic, peasant-style cooking, with minimal fuss involved. It's unlikely that you'll find Anderson at the supermarket; instead he is usually wandering around his backyard garden, strolling through forests and paddocks fossicking for wild mushrooms, and fishing in cool mountain streams.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book October 18, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book knowing there would not be a lot of new information for me. If you're looking for a book that is an intro to gardening, foraging, and hunting this is not. (As if those skills could be taught in one book) What this is is a great primer on a sustainable food lifestyle. It is far more than just food grown yourself, but food that is delicious! This book has several great recipes. I've tried a couple they were wonderful. I look forward to trying the rest. What this book is is beautiful. The photographs, the typeset, the way the cover is laid out, the quality of the paper stock. Worth the purchase. I could not be happier with it. It will be like a coffee table book in our house.

5.0 out of 5 stars no just a cookbook! November 18, 2012
Format:Hardcover
Followed Rohan Andersons blog Wholelarderlove for quite a while, I knew this book was going to be special when he announced it. It needs a good eye to be a good photographer and that brings you down to the details/roots to what you see. As a logic consequence you start questioning yourself about what's going on around you and what role you play. He not just saw what's going on (wrongly), he did something against it, and changed his life more and more. This book is not just a cookbook with amazing images and recipes, no it is also a manual with a bigger picture in mind. A path to follow. He shares his knowledge of how to grow - gather - hunt and cook with you.

The recipes are easy to prepare (if you have got some basic experience with cooking). Down to earth meals prepared from what is mostly available within reach and not traveled half around the globe to finally reach the plate. Im already through all the information in the book and know we can start cooking.
In the meantime I hope Rohan will have the time and passion to write more books he shares with us.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful book February 11, 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been a long time follower of Ro on wholelarderlove.com. This is a really nice book with recipes and tips laid out nicely. Really pretty photos too. I'm still intimidated by cooking and throwing things together that taste good but he helps me take a more relaxed approach to it. I someday hope to have a more simpler life like he has built for himself and his family.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book. May 11, 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very practical...everything from gardening tips to practical recipes. If you can't garden or forage, you can still get your special ingredients at a farmer's market, so be too worried about the availability of ingredients. If you still can't find something, it probably doesn't grow in your area and using would defeat the entire purpose of the book. It's visually interesting to top it all off!

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthy addition to my book stash March 20, 2013
By Fiona
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love the eclectic and un-stuffy way this book was written and assembled. It feels less like a mass produced tome and more like a collection of photos, anecdoets and recipes compiled by a friend as a gift. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in becoming more self-sufficient and more in touch with the land and its gifts of food and forage.
