Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Book, 29 Feb 2008
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars loved this, 20 Jul 2008
By Ms. L. KNOWLES "save more money" (scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ive just recieved this book and it is so inspirational. So much so i have just got back from the beach with some winkles. Something i would never thought to do. Whilst I was at the beach I was able to identify other items to eat that I will be going back for time and time again. We will all need a beautiful book like this if food gets more expensive.
highly recommended lovely pictures and friendly interesting writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saw weed - ate it!!, 29 April 2009
By Sue Bryant "littley" (Pembury, Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I originally spotted this book whilst on holiday in Scotland and nearly passed it by - I'm glad I didn't! Being a keen would-be forager I flicked through the pages to find some innovative ways of using plants that most of us have growing in our gardens. I have so far made Stinging nettle and wild garlic soup, which I swear cut down my nasty cold within a couple of days. It was so tasty and nourishing! I have also made wild garlic pesto, which is lovely but very strong, so I would recommend it stirred into cooked pasta rather than eating it "raw!"

I have yet to try the nettle aloo or nettle gnocchi with blue cheese sauce recipe but they sound delicious.

The book helps to identify plants that you might never have believed you can eat - who would have known that the awful weed ground elder was brought over and used by the Romans, much like spinach! I won't be troubling to get rid if it in the future!

I liked the way this book was written from a "young mum" angle. I followed the book's recommendation to "use child labour" to pick 4 cupfuls of dandelion heads to make the dandelion blossom syrup, which is fantastic and loved by all.

In fact I enjoyed the book so much I have ordered copies for friends.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not too keen on the illustrations
Lovely content but I'm not too keen on the illustrations. They seem to not be very expressive and don't really capture the full potential of the book.
