About this title: The author, winner of a MacArthur grant for his ecological activism, tried for one year to live only on the products native to the part of Arizona where he lives. A celebration of home ground, the book is also a brief for the pleasures of fresh food as an alternative to standardization, processing, and corporate fast food.

"First of the books like this that I read - someone's year of eating local. His tale is interesting, and unique to being able to eat in the Southwest."
"I picked up this book from the library because I like books about food and I'm interested in the idea of eating more local and fresh foods. The book certainly covered those areas, but I still didn't enjoy it as much as similar books that I've read. The author is obviously a scientist and not a writer, and so the quality of writing was really uneven. In the end I thought some parts were interesting, but the book as a whole just didn't do much to convince me of anything."
"Gary is a local-foods icon of sorts in Arizona and the Southwest. He is an avid writer and wrote this book about living in the desert of Arizona (near Tucson). He definitely captures the romance, mystery, and pleasure of cooking, eating, and sharing food locally. His writings left me with a pleasant, excited feeling: ready to learn what foods my place has to offer, how to prepare them, and what traditions historically accompanied them."
