Susan Ebert checking her sausages. “The back flips my heart does at the testosterone-fueled gobble of a turkey in bluebonnet-festooned meadows; the ear-tickling rush of teal wings over a predawn marsh; the zing of the reel as a redfish chops my plug; the sensuous lusciousness of wild dewberries I pluck from the vine and plop into my mouth, an explosion of juicy sweetness. My culinary odyssey yields countless treasures, imbued with memories with which I feed my family, friends, and myself, and builds a bridge between the natural world and the family table.” —From The Field To Table Cookbook by Susan Ebert.
