"The exciting thing about this book is the number of unusual flavours and species it highlights" (Andrew Fairlie, Gleneagles) This inspirational guide is bursting with invaluable know-how on Scotland's wild harvest, covering what, where, when and how you can use your bounty in sustainable ways? from the most useful and widespread of species to the less well-known, and from leaves and berries to saps, seeds, seaweeds, mosses and wood. Recipes from Scottish kitchens include nettle brose, blaeberry muffins and creative dishes from a surprisingly wide range of species.
