Apples to Oysters
Margaret Webb
A carrot consumed straight out of the ground was the ah-hah moment that initiated a cross Canada tour to find the farmers who are keeping the flavour in our iconic foods. After an introduction to some of the finest seafood, meat, fruits, and vegetables the country has to offer, the journey leads to the farm on which the author grew up. Though not as polemical as some similar books, Webb’s tale is just as impassioned a call to support local farmers. Softcover, 272 pp. $18.00.
