As a chef who has preached the values of sustainability and conscientious eating for many years, it makes my heart soar seeing someone like Danielle Prewett have the opportunity to share her vision with the world. Prewett is one of the very few people Ive met who is absolutely in tune with seasonality and who truly knows where every ingredient in her kitchen comes from. In Wild + Whole you get a chance to see for yourself how one woman is changing the way hunters, chefs, and home cooks alike view the idea of being totally connected to the land, and the bounty it provides for those willing to go the extra mile.Kevin Gillespie, award-winning chef, restauranteur, and author of Pure Pork Awesomeness
