Whereas most food books start at the end of the gathering process with ingredients conveniently assembled, this one starts at the beginning. What's more, it is warmly charming and practical too. Memoir, natural history guide and cookbook all in one, Seaweed and Eat It is packed with delicious recipes, wild feasts and fascinating folklore. From identifying edible and medicinal wild foods - from sorrel to seaweed, shellfish to shaggy ink caps - to urban foraging, this is an essential book for the family that wants to get back to nature. So, if you are keen to know more about your food and where it comes from, this inspirational guide to wild food and how to cook it will ensure that mealtimes are always an adventure. We love this book! 190pp, 134mm x 216mm, illus. in colour, softback, 2008
