Obi Kaufmann goes inside the mind of California in new book (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Celebrated for his richly illustrated California field guides, the painter and naturalist Obi Kaufmann took a detour with his latest book, diving into the mind and exploring new ways of thinking and talking about ecology. But first he had to get it past his toughest critic. “Looking at it for the first time, my wife said, ‘Oh, this is just a picture book for adults,’ ” Kaufmann recalled. “I’m like, ‘well, kind of.’” Then she teased him further, “Oh, this is ‘Deep Thoughts with Obi.’” In “Califor

Tasting their way through the garden on a bright summer morning, chef Brian Limoges and farmer Colby Eierman have a story for nearly every ripening plant and flowering bush. In between popping kumquats in their mouths and crunching on peppers and tiny tomatoes, Limoges points out a few summer squash stalks he tried to repurpose as straws.
