Seaweed is so familiar and yet its names - pepper dulse, sea
lettuce, bladderwrack - are largely unknown to us. In this short,
exquisitely illustrated portrait, the Dutch poet and artist Miek
Zwamborn shares her discoveries of its history, culture and use,
from the Neolithic people of the Orkney Islands to sushi artisans
in modern Japan. Seaweed troubled Columbus on his voyages across
the Atlantic, intrigued von Humboldt in the Sargasso Sea and
inspired artists from Hokusai to Matisse. Covering seaweed's
collection by Victorians, its adoption into fashion and dance and
its potential for combating climate change, and with a fabulous
series of recipes based around the 'truffles of the sea', this is a
wonderful gift for every nature lover's home.
