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 Loveauthor 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 RackRoast 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.

It reads like a magazine; pretty good book, but there are better ones to read instead

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

I respect the author and what he set out to do. Unfortunately, the final product left me lacking.

The problem with this book boils down to three simple facts:

1) The topic itself (gardening, foraging, hunting/fishing) is too ambitious for just 240 pages. There are much better books already published on each (I'll share those recommendations below) -- but those authors focused on just one of the topics, enabling them to provide more detail.

2) The author is a DIY-er (which I admire -- I'm one too) and most of his recipes reflect this. Sure, some of the recipes are delicious -- but nothing really comes across as new. I had the feeling throughout that I'd seen similar recipes before. And this would have been perfectly fine with me had I learned something new from the advice he sprinkles throughout on his pursuits -- but these tips were elementary.

3) It reads like a magazine. By this I mean that it's full of many photographs (beautiful, no doubt -- the author is an exceptionally talented photographer) that often take up the whole page, accompanied by handwritten recipe introductions followed by a typed font for the actual steps. It has an amateurish feel that isn't all that easy for the eyes and mind to process. At times, it felt like I was reading a lengthy ransom note, albeit one about food. It'd make a good coffee table book to stir up conversation among your more squeamish friends -- it's definitely a book that catches your eye, and lends itself to quickly browsing -- but it's probably not something you'll regularly revisit.

Again, I respect the author and the topic he set out to cover. But the execution just wasn't right.

If you are interested in learning more about gardening, foraging, or hunting/fishing, you'd do better to look elsewhere. For gardening basics, read through Eliot Coleman's books; for foraging instructions, Euell Gibbons is your man (and Samuel Thayer is doing a good job following in Gibbons' footsteps); and for hunting/fishing you'll learn much more by reading Hank Shaw's "Hunt, Gather, Cook: Finding the Forgotten Feast" and Jesse Griffiths' "Afield: A Chef's Guide to Preparing and Cooking Wild Game and Fish."

A beautiful book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 19, 2012

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.

Great book with beautiful photography and interesting recipes. I love the way unusual ingredients are combined to create new flavors. We live out in the country so this book is really handy. From describing how to despatch a chicken to what to do with a wild trout we have found many moments when we pull out 'Whole Larder Love' for quick reference or to prepare a great meal.

A worthy addition to my book stash

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 21, 2013

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.

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.

I love this book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 11, 2013

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!

This is a great book. For anyone who has read Rohan's blog "whole larder love" this book will feel familiar as it totally captures Rohan's attitude and style of writing. It is a cookbook but it also has a lot of good information about how to start living a more self sustaining lifestyle. The recipes are excellent! Very highly recommend!

The potential to be life changing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

I've been considering a change in my families lifestyle for a good while now, and have been reading Rohan's blog for about a year, so had a good idea of what it would be like.
This is an amazing book, I've never read what is essentially a cookbook from cover to cover before, but Anderson's knowledge and insight into a way of life is enough to make you question your own habits and lifestyle, while keeping your wallet and belly happy at the same time
