ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9780340827918
Synopsis
Published to tie in with the major four-part BBC2 prime-time series, Wild Foods is the definitive guide to finding food in the wilds of Britain.
Ray Mears and Gordon Hillman lead us into the wildest parts of Britain to demonstrate the huge variety of indigenous foods that can be found. One of the most crucial skills to surviving in any wilderness is self-reliance - with this book, you can equip yourself with the knowledge to find tasty and sustaining foods in your own back yard and beyond.
Practical, enthralling, often surprising, packed with beautiful photographs & illustrations, Wild Foods is an invaluable tool for any keen outdoorsman, and it is a fascinating read anyone with an interest in the little-known side of Britain's natural resources.
