From Masterchef: The Professionals quarter-finalist Carla Lamont.
This book shares the sensual beauty and bounty of the Isle of Mull
through the eyes of restauranteur and MasterChef: The Professionals
2020 quarter-finalist Carla Lamont and photographer Dr Sam Jones.
At Ninth Wave Restaurant, an enterprising couple have created one
of Scotland's hidden culinary gems. Multiple winner of Best
Restaurant Award - VisitScotland, and two-time Winner of Restaurant
of the Year - Highlands & Islands, Carla and her rugged
fisherman husband Jonny have put Mull firmly on the food map. After
lovingly renovating a granite bothy on their windswept croft, they
opened Ninth Wave as the first high-end restaurant on the Ross of
Mull. The food is an exhilarating blend of the traditional and
modern, using the wonderful natural larder of Mull and influences
from exotic cuisines from all over the world. Carla has gathered
her experiences in this book full of magical imagery, tantalising
recipes and quirky anecdotes about cooking, love, life and the
challenges of running a restaurant at the edge of the Hebrides.
Gloriously illustrated with atmospheric food and landscape pictures
of an award-winning photographer, this memoir and cookbook captures
the hedonistic joy of all that is the Ninth Wave experience.

Although seaweed is now all the rage, because we have been reading
about and eating Japanese food, it has long been an important
ingredient in Britain too, even if many of us don't recognize it as
such. Just think of laver bread. Seaweed suppliers are becoming
easier to find, but if you need some really quickly, a walk on your
local beach will deliver the goods just as well. Fi Bird is nothing
if not enthusiastic. She lives in the Hebrides and has written her
own guide to foraging. In addition she is super-keen on teaching
children to cook. This, her second book, combines these three
elements: the Hebrides because seaweed runs amok there; foraging,
because she lives in the midst of a natural larder; teaching,
because she has written a fine set of intelligent and properly
tested recipes. The book has four strands: an account of seaweed
species that flourish here; a discussion of our use of seaweed over
time, and in regional cookery; an assessment of the physical
properties of seaweed and how they might contribute to a healthful
diet; and a set of recipes. These last are not merely for boiling
up dulse, or steaming kelp, but offer imaginative solutions to
incorporating seaweed into our daily fare: brown bread ice-cream,
fudge, curry (yes, curry!), dried seaweed biscuits, seaweed
seasoning powder, water biscuits with rock samphire, seaweed
croutons, seaweed treacle tart, and many more.
This practical pocket guide includes 194 edible fruits, nuts and seeds,
flowers, greens and vegetables, herbs, roots, whole plants, fungi,
seaweeds and shellfish that you can forage in the UK and Europe.
Each species account includes accurate artworks and concise
descriptions outlining essential details to help you identify species
in the field, as well as information on where you can find species and
helpful tips on how to cook and bake with the food you forage.
The author's introduction offers practical advice on foraging safely
and legally and outlines how to prepare and preserve your foraged
foods, including making mead and jam, drying herbs, storing mushrooms
for later use and how to safely prepare foraged shellfish. The helpful
fold-out poster shows common edible species grouped by season and by
habitat.
