The Wild Food book, published by the O’Brien Press, is about to hit the shelves!
The reaction to the advance copies has been extremely positive with lots of media interest and requests for interviews, talks and field walks.
Evan and I think the book looks and feels good and does what it says on the cover. A sturdy field-book that fits in a pocket and achieves our aim to pass on skills in knowing where and when to look, and how to identify, gather, preserve, and cook over 60 recipes that make the most of the wild foods featured.
For more than a year, Denis Latimer (my other half ) was none to gently persuaded to come foraging with me up mountains, down dales, clambering in hedgerows, and ploughing along wet and windy seashores, and has contributed clear photographs identifying the plants and likely habitats. Evan Doyle (locked in his kitchen for days and nights on end, with the crew) cooked, styled and photographed 25 of the enticing recipes he created to serve at The Strawberry Tree at MacCreddin.
We hope you like it and happy harvesting.
