Join Riverow Bookshop, located at 187 Front St. in Owego, on Saturday, Feb. 27, from 3 to 5 p.m. as they welcome nationally recognized journalist and food writer Eugenia Bone.
Bone has written five books – At Mesas Edge (nominated for a Colorado Book Award), Italian Family Dining (written with her father Edward Giobbi), Well Preserved (nominated for a James Beard Award), Mycophilia, a book that explores the expanding field of mycology in biology, cultivation, nutrition, medicine, and psychedelics, and Kitchen Ecosystem: Integrating Recipes to Create Delicious Meals. Bone has had articles published in Italian Cook, Mushroom Hunter, Master Canner, and newspapers and magazines such as New York Times, Saveur, Epicurious, Food And Wine, Gourmet, Fine Cooking, The Wine Enthusiast, National Lampoon and Martha Stewart Living.
In her unique Eugenia style, she tells of fungi that make you well and fungi that make you sick. She provides insight into shrooms and the Telluride Mushroom Festival that celebrates the world of fungi. She describes mycotechnologies and the use of mushrooms in mycoremediation. Dedicated mycologists and mycophagists will be thrilled to find the classic Ernest Blochs 1912 photo of the mushroom lady contained in this book. If you are a mushroom enthusiast this is a must read.
On Feb. 27, Bone will be at the bookshop for a meet and greet, copies of her books will be available, and a demonstration of mushroom cooking will be presented.
