River Cottage 'Hedgerow' by John Wright

Hedgerows, moors, meadows and woods – these hold a veritable feast for the forager. In this hugely informative and witty handbook, John Wright reveals how to spot the free and delicious ingredients to be found in the British countryside, and then how to prepare and cook them.

Each one is accompanied by photographs for identification, along with their conservation status, habitat, distribution, season, taste, texture and cooking methods – not forgetting, of course, some fascinating asides and diversions about their taxonomy and history. Over 40 species are covered, including the poisonous species to steer clear of, plus warnings about any nasty ‘lookalikes’, along with their identifying photographs. Finally, there are 30 tempting recipes.
