Meet An Author: Taras Grescoe

A few years ago, I picked up a book called The Devil’s Picnic by Taras Grescoe. The journey around the world and the plate that I took with this book not only enlightened me regarding the origins of some foods and the laws they inspired but also about the political implications food can have. Grescoe, a native Montreal with a sharp wit and a sharper pen, has recently released a new book, this time on commercial fishing entitled Bottomfeeders. In his quest to find an ethically marine meal he exposes the truth about the fish we so casual order, cook and consume. Food for thought this is going to be and I look forward to meeting the author in person when he will be at Bon Appetit Cookbooks on May 10th at 2pm to speak about his recent release. This is a free event but those who wish to attend as asked to RSVP in advance.
