We’d like to celebrate the new year with you and the days gradually getting longer! Professional forager, Geoff Dann, has gifted us this fabulous book (R.R.P £25) that will tick a few New Year resolution boxes to connect more to the natural world or simply to learn something new. We're giving you the chance to win the book.
Edible Plants: A forager’s guide to the plants and seaweeds of Britain, Ireland and temperate Europe, by professional forager and author Geoff Dann, has been a labour of love, 6 years in the making.
Written right here in 1066 Country, with many of its gorgeous photos taken in the local countryside of Sussex and Kent, it contains wonderfully detailed descriptions and the cultural history of over 400 species. Recipes such as Brandied Chocolate-Coated Seaweed, Spruce Tip Crumble Topping and Comfrey Fritters will help you make the most of what you’ve collected. You’ll be in good company as Mary Berry and Adrian Chiles have both sought Geoff’s expertise in the past.
“Let this be your go-to intelligent guide to the exciting realm of wild food.”
— Fergus Drennan (‘Fergus the Forager’).
