Seaweed and Eat It: A Family Foraging and Cooking Adventure

by Xa Milne, Fiona Houston

Seaweed And Eat It is the foodie's answer to The Dangerous Book for Boys, and a nostalgic journey of rediscovery for the whole family.

Part cookbook, part natural history guide, with tasty recipes, fascinating folklore and inspiring ideas for seasonal feasts, Seaweed leads the reader through the process of identifying, learning about and cooking unusual and native wild foods.

From discovering edible wild plants and flowers, to creating delicious seasonal feasts, Seaweed puts the fun into foraging and injects a sense of adventure into preparing dinner.

For anyone interested in the origins of their food - or who's shocked by the price of elderflower cordial - this inspirational cookbook will ensure mealtimes are never dull.

Don’t trust the title

Only one chapter out of 9 was actually about seaweed. Disappointed, would not have purchased the book if I knew only one chapter was about seaweed.

Two families start foraging around the English countryside. This book is a tale of their finds, but also recipes for anyone to use on things they have foraged themselves.
