Being just south of where I grew up, I felt right at home in this environment, as if I were in a room of my uncles. - Donald Link

<br><br> Along with visions of some of my Southern chef friends having the time of their lives, the spirit of the South is what lives on in the timeless anthology Wild Abundance . The winter bird hunt, a Southern rite of passage, is usually a private time with close friends and family - coming together to break bread and share in the ancient ritual of hunting for sustenance. While plenty of strong drink brings out a Roman feasting element, all is bound by a Southern sense of hospitality and gracious sharing. It brings an almost spiritual side to the predawn winter night - freezing cold, nervous with anticipation - all captured on these glorious pages with chefs, camp cooks and good buddies. I wish I were there. Well, next winter, let's go. But until then, Wild Abundance will happily do.--Frank Stitt (10/21/2010)
