Nestled by the roadside, peeking through the hedgerows, hidden in
the woods and even in city streets and parks, wild food is all
around us - if you know where to look. From woodland mushrooms and
riverbank redcurrants to garden weeds and urban cherry blossoms,
Where the Wild Things Grow takes us on a journey through the
forager's landscape. Drawing on 25 years of foraging experience,
David Hamilton show us how and where to hunt for the food that is
hidden all around us. Along the way he delves into the forgotten
histories and science of wild foods and their habitats and reveals
his many foraging secrets, tips and recipes. You'll discover where
to find mallows, mustards and pennywort, as well as sumac, figs and
mulberries. You'll learn how to pick the sweetest berries, preserve
mushrooms using only a radiator and prepare salads, risottos and
puddings all with wild food. In all weathers, landscapes and
seasons, David shows us that foraging doesn't just introduce us to
new tastes and sensations, it also brings us closer to the natural
world on our doorstep. Beautifully illustrated and rich in detail,
Where the Wild Things Grow is more than a field guide - it is a
celebration of the wonderful and fragile gifts hidden in our
landscape.
