In The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating, a Canadian couple transforms their kitchen and worldview by committing to eat only foods produced within a 100-mile radius of Vancouver. What starts as a simple experiment evolves into a deep exploration of local farms, artisanal producers and seasonal bounty.

Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon face challenges like no sugar, olive oil or rice, and discover unexpected flavors—from gooseberry wine to turnip sandwiches. Along the way, they meet innovative farmers, home preserves experts and modern hunter-gatherers who redefine farm-to-table.

Their journey combines personal anecdotes, sustainable food insights and practical recipes. Readers gain:

• An insider’s look at regional food systems
• Seasonal cooking ideas and simple recipes
• Reflections on biodiversity, economics and community

This narrative offers more than a diet—it’s a roadmap for anyone interested in reconnecting with local ingredients, reducing food miles and embracing the seasons in their own kitchen.
