Hi There!
My name is Hank Shaw. I am a James Beard Award-winning author and chef and I focus all my energies on wild foods: Foraging, fishing, hunting. I write cookbooks as well as this website, and do a podcast, too. If it’s wild game, fish or edible wild plants and mushrooms, you’ll find it here. Hope you enjoy the site!
