Review Quotes:
"Wolfert stands apart from most other writers who rapsodize over primal foods and foodways through her awarenessof certain ironies in the basic mission. She is one voyager who knows that the world she's trying to report from is not standing still any more than the one she's reporting to." - Los Angeles Times
