The new foraging 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.

Just a brief e-mail to say thanks for taking us out last week.
We both really enjoyed our time with you both & learnt a great deal.
We can now put some names to the plants we had previously ignored
while out for a walk!
Final question: Will you allow us back to spend some more time out
with you both? Once again, many thanks, all the best. Piers & Sarah-Jan
A great day in the sunshine.
Learnt lots of new things and been out with my wife Jan today collected some food
and made wild garlic and nettle pancake for lunch. Plan to keep foraging when I can.
Would recommend the course for anyone who wants to try something new and reconnect with nature.
