Angry Trout Cafe Notebook: Friends, Recipes, and the Culture of Sustainability [B0726]
Wilkes, George
2004 spiral-bound HC in nice clean condition. The Angry Trout Cafe Notebook is a fun scrapbook of sorts from a small restaurant in Grand Marais, MN using sustainability as its guiding principle. Hard cover, full color photos, concrete examples of sustainability in practice -- and even a few delicious recipes!
From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "So what's a vegan doing recommending a restaurant whose primary menu item is fish? Well, despite coming up on my thirty-third year as a vegan, here in America at least, there still aren't too many all-vegan places, let alone too many vegan-friendly, all-vegetarian, vegetarian-friendly, or even vegan-or-vegetarian-accommodating places in 2024. What makes Angry Trout Cafe compelling is its commitment to all things local, sustainable, and equitable. What makes the Cafe extraordinary is its commitment to those values in a small town at the far edge of the upper Midwest years and years before most anyone was concerned about such things. And despite the fish-forward menu, I had a helluva meal there-sitting on the deck, taking in the breeze and the views of the harbor, and wishing there were more places like this, places that put people and neighbors and the environment ahead of, or at least equal to, profits."; "A very nice little book/cook book. Cleverly put together with good writing on the broad topic of sustainability and all that that encompasses, particularly from the perspective of someone in the restaurant business, and particularly from the perspective of someone living on the north shore of Lake Superior."; ""
