August 17, 2014, Seattle, WA --The Northwest Cider Association is proud to welcome James Beard Award-winning author Rowan Jacobson to Seattle to celebrate the release of his new book, Apples of Uncommon Character: Heirlooms, Modern Classics, and Little-Known Wonders. Along with Rowan’s engaging, informative commentary on apples, the book features the stunning work of local photographer Clare Barboza.
The event is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., September 5, 2014, downstairs at Town Hall and is presented in partnership with Book Larder and Washington Cider Week. Seattle author Langdon Cook (The Mushroom Hunters) will host a conversation with Jacobson and Barboza, followed by an audience Q & A and time for book signing. Tickets are $5 and available through townhallseattle.org. Books will be available for purchase through Book Larder.
We are in the "Second Age of the Apple," with more varieties of extraordinary apples within reach than ever before. Some make great fresh eating, some make killer pies, some make the finest cider, and some are downright weird. Jacobsen collected specimens both common and rare across North America, from heirlooms to new designer breeds, and here he presents them in all their glory. With more than 150 color portraits, and all the legends and lore accompanying them, Apples of Uncommon Character celebrates the fruit with the greatest range. It’s a must-have for every enthusiastic eater.
Rowan Jacobsen is the James Beard Award-winning author of A Geography of Oysters, Fruitless Fall, The Living Shore, and American Terroir. He has written for the New York Times, Harper's, Outside, Mother Jones, Orion, and others, and his work has been anthologized in The Best American Science and Nature Writing and Best Food Writing collections. Whether visiting endangered oystermen in Louisiana or cacao-gathering tribes in the Bolivian Amazon, his subject is how to maintain a sense of place in a world of increasing placelessness. He lives in rural Vermont.
Langdon Cook is the author of The Mushroom Hunters: On the Trail of an Underground America, winner of the 2014 Pacific Northwest Book Award, and Fat of the Land: Adventures of a 21st Century Forager, which the Seattle Times called “lyrical, practical and quixotic.” His writing appears in numerous publications, and he has been profiled in Bon Appetit, Outside, Salon.com, and the PBS TV series Food Forward. Cook lives in Seattle with his wife and two children.
This event kicks off Washington Cider Week, sponsored this year by Northwest Travel Magazine and organized by the Northwest Cider Association. The trade organization was formed in 2010 by cider producers throughout the Pacific Northwest to promote awareness of regional, artisanal ciders. Memberships are also available to individual cider enthusiasts, as well as retail shops, apple growers, restaurants, beverage distributors, and anyone somehow engaged in the cider industry.
