Everything you ever wanted to know about our little cafe on Lake Superior's remote North Shore. In addition to providing recipes and cooking instructions, the Angry Trout Cafe Notebook tells the story of how and why the Angry Trout Cafe, its neighborhood, and its recipes have come to be - why our napkins are provocatively small, why we serve chicken raised on small family farms, why we don't serve Chilean seabass, and why Coke and Pepsi icons are conspicuously absent from our premises.
We hear a lot about "sustainability" these days - but what does it really mean? This book makes a unique contribution toward answering that question by showing how sustainability is being put into practice within the context of an actual, thriving small business. Using a lively, personal approach and many colorful examples of sustainability-in-action, the Angry Trout Cafe Notebook brings home the sometimes elusive subject of sustainability, and celebrates its powerful effect within a business and throughout a community. The result is accessible, fun, and hopeful - useful attributes for addressing today's social, economic, and environmental challenges.
