Author, Ashley Rodriguez’s Rooted Kitchen offers a fresh way to appreciate nature and the treasures it provides. 

The cookbook is organized seasonally and allows us to deepen our relationship with the natural world through more than 80 delightfully inventive recipes, thoughtful essays, tips, and basic techniques for foraging, preserving, and cooking over an open fire.

You’ll also find tips for harvesting ingredients from mushrooms to nettles to edible flowers, along with preserving, basic foraging techniques, and mindfulness activities. 

When not writing about food, you can find author Ashley Rodriguez foraging, fly-fishing, and spending as much time outside as possible. A Seattle-based award-winning food writer and photographer, Ashley is the host and cocreator of the James Beard–nominated video series Kitchen Unnecessary.

Ashley is a certified nature and forest therapy guide and an integrative wellness and life coach focusing on deepening the ecospiritual connection.
