Into the Weeds:
Book Launch
Saturday, March 16
2 – 3:30 pm
Members: $35
Non-members: $40
Join us in person at the Morris, or virtually, for the launch celebration of Into the Weeds, the latest book by Tama Matsuoka Wong. The program will include a peek inside of Into the Weeds, a botanical mocktail for all in-person participants, and a book signing (books, hot off the press, will be available for purchase).
Tama Matsuoka Wong is corporate lawyer, mother, and professional forager who finds and eats healthy ingredients growing in the wild. She collaborated with New York City’s renowned chef and restaurateur Eddie Leroux to create the book Foraged Flavor (2012), a field guide and cookbook. Tama draws on her heritage and her family’s Japanese and Chinese cultural traditions to inform her approach to foraging and cooking with the native and invasive plants in landscapes that surround us – a hobby turned passion turned business as she left the legal profession and started her company, Meadows and More.
Tama has been featured in many news outlets including CBS Sunday Morning, the New York Times, National Public Radio’s Science Friday, and Oprah. She has been nominated for a James Beard award, and gave a TEDx talk, “How I Did Less and Ate Better, Thanks to Weeds.” |
