Hemingway perfectly described Paris as a “Moveable Feast” for the senses with that iconic work. There he felt that wherever he went he was continually surrounded by its wonderful art, architecture, and the sumptuous aromas and tastes of French cuisine. In that same theme authors Kirk Deeter and Matthew Supinski, along with publisher Rizzoli Books International proudly take you on a passionate fly fishing journey celebrating the ‘joie de vivre- joy of life’, with their new release:
A Fishable Feast- Fly Fishing and Eating your Way Around the World-Authors Kirk Deeter and Matthew Supinski, Forward Tom Rosenbauer (Rizzoli Books)
Join us for this unique celebration of fly fishing around the globe and backyard regions of North America as they explore the fly fishing, cultures, history, and cuisines to be had there, as they beautifully fuse them together with comfort gourmet recipes which readers can prepare with simplicity at home.
From spring creeks, rivers and lakes; to seas and oceans, the authors passionately share their anecdotal adventures and intricacies of tactical fly fishing for the world’s most beautiful piscatorial wonders. Step with them into a chalk stream or tail water for selective trout… a stunning cascading salmon river; or hunt the saltwater flats for bonefish, tarpon and permit. Or explore the many challenging species like billfish, bass, redfish, rooster fish, grayling and so many more. It’s all bottled up and served to you on a plate of passionate journeys told with gorgeous images in the style of National Geographic’s photographic excellence we have come to love. Couple this with culinary adventurism honoring the style of the late great Anthony Bourdain’s exploits, and you get a fusion of the joys of fishing and food.
This beautifully done 384-page, 350 sumptuous color imaged/ 8×10 hard copy/coffee table fly fishing and cook book, with 66 recipes you can make at home, takes you on a tour from Italy, France, the Austrian Alps to Poland. Then it’s off to Scotland, Iceland, Canada, England and the Baja. Finally the bucket list destinations of New Zealand, Argentina, Belize, Brazil, along with the American backyard treasures of Louisiana, the Big Sky of Montana, the Catskills, Florida Keys, Great Lakes, Colorado and Alaska round out the tour.
Any sporting angler, no matter if they fly fish, use fancy gear, or simply dangle a worm, is deeply connected and embraces the natural world every time they wet a line. It’s that excitement where the bite, the fight and the capture brings out a refreshingly primal, Neanderthal-like savageness to capture and posses something wild, even if only briefly to be caught and released. The soothing solitude we experience from water has the power to transport us to a place of tranquility, that perhaps only a few things like a delicious meal can.
We hope to bring out your fond memories of those wonderful fishing trips and those intriguing aroma’s of a lodge chef’s kitchen; to a campfire grill, or your mother’s comforting and passionate home cooked recipes. Or perhaps yet when you foraged and hunted for the best in nature’s bounty by a mountain brook trout stream; to experiencing regional farm-to-table delicacies at a weekend county inn. The emotional attachment of fishing, destination adventures; or even venturing into your local waters to escape a frenzied world and go to your secret happy place, can only be coupled with the power of delicious, comforting food that everyone loves.
“A Fishable Feast” will hopefully rekindle the emotional and memorable attachments you have developed with fishing and food, and also make you yearn for adventure, whether near or far. Despite all the conflict in the world today, we all have so much beauty and bounty to be thankful for every time we wet a line; or share a meal at a table with our loved ones. We hope you will enjoy this book like we will for the rest of your lives.
