Kew's Global Kitchen Cookbook is a visual celebration of the
amazing variety of edible plants and how we can use them. The range
of edible plants is far broader than we may suppose, with huge
variety, from all corners of the world, and continually changing in
how they are used and perceived. Some now regarded as familiar were
once exotic, such as tea, grapes and chillies, and the source of
fortunes for those who 'discovered' and transported them, such as
the staples of the Dutch East Indies spice trade - nutmeg, cinnamon
and black peppercorns. A narrative main introduction gives context
to the plants that provide the ingredients for the book's 101
recipes featuring plants from around the world, including parsnip
tart, truffle crepes, Cincinnati chilli, orange vacherin, Kashmiri
curry, plantation smoothie, sweetcorn and crab fritters and
pineapple cheesecake with chilli. A further section features the
herbs of Europe and the Mediterranean and spices from the East,
with details on how they grow, tips for growing windowsill box
herbs, and how to use and combine different flavours to the best
effect. Each plant has its own story of travel and adventure, and
historical, botanical and economic themes are brought to life
through the text and beautiful botanical illustrations from Kew's
archives. Relishing edible plants today needs to go hand in hand
with acknowledging how lucky we are to have access to so much
diversity, and how we need to preserve that for the future. The
book is published in conjunction with the Kew festival IncrEdibles,
from 25 May - 3 November 2013.
