The new book on the edible seashore!
What people are saying:
A thoroughly enjoyable read, very comprehensive and well balanced covering all the areas I wanted to know about. It certainly makes me want to plan an early excursion to the coast. - Chris.
I received your book this morning and have read it cover to cover and must say I'm very happy, great field book for me, I spend a lot of time on the coast open canoeing and wild camping. I like very much that the wild edibles in the book are easy to id, I'm sure iv walked over a few of these oops also all the edibles in your book grow and live here in the UK.
Some I have knowledge of and eat but didn't know about some of the other uses so once again great stuff.
I have found with the many other food for free type books i get so confused with the amount of info so for to id them gets difficult or the foods they show don't grow in this country or are very rare.. I will recommend this book to my buddy's, to me its bomb proof edibles gathering and preparations explained the right way. - Angelo.

The wild food will be accompanied with some pantry stores to create a truly tasty lunch, with seaweed risotto, and seashore paella being among the firm favourites. A refreshing and healthy beverage can be made using the wild flowers and plants we forage.

with you both? Once again, many thanks, all the best. Piers & Sarah-Jan
