Product Description

Book Description

PUTS THE FUN INTO FORAGING AND MAKES MEALTIMES WILD

Product Description

Seaweed And Eat It is the foodie's answer to The Dangerous Book for Boys, and a nostalgic journey of rediscovery for the whole family.

Part cookbook, part natural history guide, with tasty recipes, fascinating folklore and inspiring ideas for seasonal feasts, Seaweed leads the reader through the process of identifying, learning about and cooking unusual and wild native foods.

From discovering edible wild plants and flowers, to creating delicious seasonal feasts, Seaweed puts the fun into foraging and injects a sense of adventure into preparing dinner.

For anyone interested in the origins of their food - or who's shocked by the price of elderflower cordial - this inspirational cookbook will ensure mealtimes are never dull.

This revised edition is black and white.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Book, 29 Feb 2008
This review is from: Seaweed and Eat It: A Family Foraging and Cooking Adventure (Paperback)
A really nice little book, written from a child friendly angle but still bursting with hints, tips and recipes for using our local, seasonal fresh and free hedgerow & seashore pickings.
Would highly recommend reading if you have any interest in this area.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality., 15 Aug 2010
This review is from: Seaweed and Eat It: A Family Foraging and Cooking Adventure (Paperback)
The biggest let down with this book is that it has the worst copy of any book I have ever read. The pictures are horrendous and there is no way you could pick any of the plants required from the quality of these pictures, they are like poor quality photocopies.

The writing style I hated. I don't know why it just annoyed me!

As a good point the recipes shown are quite interesting and different. However the Richard Mabey book, food for free and the Roger Philips book, wild food are much better choices for this type of read.

2.0 out of 5 stars no thanks, 18 Mar 2010
By 
Mr. Peter W. Weston (birmingham , uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Seaweed and Eat It: A Family Foraging and Cooking Adventure (Paperback)
I had this book delivered yesterday , and soon after i was trying to read it, now this is where everyone differs, the ideas and recipes are good but not great and most of the information is in every other hedgerow harvest book.so there realy is a poor choice to purchase.

But the thing that realy killed this book for me and i will NEVER EVER pick it up again to read, is the stupid font that half the book is printed in, the recipes are in one font, the main part of the book with the general information is
one to thin and hard to focus on, evan with my classes on

second and most deadly part is the rediculos idea that in the year of our lord 2010 some plonker thought it was still exceptable to have what can only be described as an upside dowm W through out the book as you start to read it you are faced with this barage of me instead of we and lom instead fo low, it made reading the book so hard that it will never be used again and promtly given to the local charity shop, an average book spoilt by a bad font
