I’m doing a bunch of teaching and related things in the coming months, so here’s a list in case you’re interested in any of the following:

We finally got the spring issue of Fish & Game Quarterly out, and it’s all about Vermont, a state very dear to both Zak and me. We have some excellent writing in the form of three longer pieces that overlap in appealing ways, and a spring recipe from one of the state’s best chefs. Enjoy.
Also, the culinary tour of Umbria is filling up fast. Click that link for details, and don’t dawdle—space is limited.
After a hiatus this summer, the new issue of Fish & Game Quarterly is out today, and it’s a good one. Spend a little time with the talented people we gathered in our little corner of the Web; it’s about as far from clickbait as you can get in the food world, and we’re proud of that. Dig in.
We finally got it together, just under the wire, to release the new Fish & Game Quarterly. Never ones to bury the lede, we’re pretty happy to announce that Project 258: Making Dinner at Fish & Game will be out on March 14 and you can preorder it right this very minute. It took three years to make this book, so if you’ve been a fan of this blog it’s safe to say that you will enjoy owning and reading the result.
At long last, the summer issue of the Fish & Game Quarterly is out. It was worth the wait; we’ve got some excellent work by talented people addressing issues both summery and shameful for your edification. We even have a world premiere of a music video, edited by yours truly. Enjoy.
The spring issue of Fish & Game Quarterly is out today. Appropriately for the issue that coincides with Zak (and by extension Jori and Kevin) winning a James Beard Award, we’ve got more contributors in more diverse media, organized loosely around the idea of place. This issue includes our first poetry offerings, plus music: besides an instrumental track, we’ve got two essays by two musicians, one of which is about a musician and which is accompanied by a photograph from still another musician. I find it particularly interesting to see work by people who are known for a different kind of work. Talented people tend to have more than one. Enjoy.
At the end of February, I spent a long weekend in the city on assignment for Food Republic, covering a couple of natural wine fairs, New York’s first. You can read the preamble I wrote beforehand, and then the post-game recap. Both events were gratifying, with impressive wines across the board and some terrific people and meals thrown in for good measure.
The winter installment of Fish & Game Quarterly is out, featuring another fine assortment of regional talents stretching out on a number of topics in several media. We’re pretty pleased with it; take a look. Those of you interested in learning more about the inspiration behind my wife’s video could start with Caroline Weber’s excellent Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore To The Revolution. Thanks to all our contributors.
For the new issue, we’ve expanded the Fish & Game Quarterly and given it its own site. We have also invited some estimable talents to contribute, in several genres besides culinary reportage: fiction, photo essay, and memoir. Future editions will expand further, into art, music, dance, poetry and random works of sui generis genius. It will mostly have somewhat to do with food, but may also not. Enjoy.
The new Fish & Game newsletter is out today, and it includes a profile of Hirotake Ooka, one of the four extraordinary natural winemakers I visited last month during a quick trip to France.
