A renowned ethnobiologist, conservationist, MacArthur "genius grant" recipient and author, Nabhan has traveled the globe, searching out the stories and tastes of many a region's traditional foods. But his efforts aren't about saving these foods for the museum shelves; instead, he aims to get these foods back on our plates to savor and enjoy. "Eat it to save it" sums up the approach. Read on for our interview with Gary and his upcoming visit to northern Michigan. (This piece will also appear in next week's Northern Express.)

He and Jen Blakeslee, co-owners of The Cooks' House in Traverse City, are planning a cookbook, and he shares his thoughts about the process in today's post on his blog. "I'm a bit nervous to say the least," he writes. "Jen and I don't want to write just another collection of recipes. We want to write a cookbook that teaches people how to cook from within themselves."
