Ray Mears has travelled the world discovering how native people
manage to live on just what nature provides. Whats always
frustrated him is not knowing how our own ancestors fed themselves
and what we could learn about our own diet. We know they were
hunter-gatherers, but no-one has been able to tell what they ate
day to day. How did they find their calories, week in week out
throughout the year? What were their staple foods? Where did they
get their vitamins? How did they ensure their bodies received
enough variety? In this book he travels back ten thousand years to
a time before farming to learn how our ancestors found, prepared
and cooked their food. This extraordinary journey reveals many new
possibilities many of the same food sources are still there for us
if only we know where to look. Through Ray Mears' knowledge of the
countryside and the research conducted specially for this book with
archaeo-botanist Gordon Hillman, we learn many new, useful and
often surprising things about the amazingly rich natural larder
that still surrounds us.
