Hedgebrook Cookbook: Celebrating Radical Hospitality [B2173]

2013 french-flap PB in Gift-Worthy condition. Hedgebrook (www.hedgebrook.org/) is a literary nonprofit located at Hedgebrook Farm on Whidbey Island, WA overlooking Useless Bay. Hedgebrook supports the work of visionary women writers whose stories and ideas shape our culture now and for generations to come. Founded in 1988 by visionary philanthropist Nancy Nordhoff and writer Sheryl Feldman, Hedgebrook hosts a global community of writers through residencies and programs exclusively dedicated to supporting the creative process of women writers.

Each evening, Hedgebrook residents gather in the farmhouse kitchen to share a home-cooked meal, their work, their process, and their stories. Meals at Hedgebrook are lovingly prepared using ingredients from Hedgebrook's own organic garden. The land at Hedgebrook nourishes the writers' bodies, as well as their spirits, through our unique approach to radical hospitality. It is in this spirit that Hedgebrook created the Hedgebrook Cookbook. Recipes from our kitchen and writing from our alumnae community bring the essence of radical hospitality from our farmhouse table to yours. So delve into the mouth-wateringly good recipes from their farmhouse kitchen, gorgeous writing from their alumnae community, and stunning photos of their grounds and culinary creations-and let them bring the essence of radical hospitality from their table to yours.
