The Forager's Kitchen is a wonderful compendium of recipes and advice that will bring the scents, tastes and colours of the great outdoors to your dinner table.Foraging may be the
latest food trend, but it is a pastime that
passionate cooks have long enjoyed. And as
The Forager's Kitchen demonstrates, foraging can result in some
truly scrumptious dishes! Written by Fiona Bird, a tenacious forager who has been
gathering food for many years, her book will show you that you can eat off the land wherever you live. Whether you live in a large
city, in open
countryside, or by the
coast, you will find more ingredients
growing in the wild than you could imagine. With a little bit of expert knowledge and some handy tips to guide your fingers, you'll learn the best spots and seasons to find your
favourite foods, for free!
Then, once you have brought your
bounty home, there are more than
100 simple recipes for you to try. From carrot and clover cake to wild berry and herb marshmallows, you'll never look at the outdoors in the same way again.
