This is the perfect guide for every budding forager. Exquisitely
illustrated with full-colour paintings of all the plants and herbs
in the book, ranging from dandelion and sorrel to sea beet and
samphire, Edible Wild Plants and Herbs is both a cookbook and field
guide to the identification and use of foodstuffs from the wild.
There are almost 400 recipes covering nearly 100 different plant
varieties and the illustrations, drawn from life by one of the
country’s leading botanical artists, show the edible parts of the
plants at their peak time for picking. In addition there is a
calendar indicating what plants to look for at each season of the
year, information on where the plants are found and how to identify
them. In the past the home kitchen provided a family with all its
medicines and cosmetics as well as its food, wine, pickles and
preserves. Our ancestors were resourceful and imaginative and very
much in tune with nature; this book recaptures their harmonious,
sustainable way of life by setting down for the modern reader all
that knowledge and lore. There are recipes for soups, sauces, main
dishes, salads, pickles, jams, sorbets, as well as teas, syrups and
lotions. Published originally in 1980 under the title All Good
Things Around Us, this book became a classic work on the subject.
It has been entirely revised and updated and redesigned with new
recipes and information.
This collection of poems will take you on an extraordinary trip
down every avenue, street, highway, by-way, backway and alleyway of
the passions contained within your soul. Leaving you so jacked up
and stranded by the roadside, where all you can do is desperately
reach to find your smartphone and whisper..."Please just come get
me"
This book offers an illuminating introduction to many aspects of
health and society in twentieth century Wales, ranging from public
health, to personal life-styles and household budgets, birth
control and the incidence of deaths from childbirth. Chapters
variously feature the life of an eminent doctor, and refugee
doctors who came to Wales, and describe the training of nurses,
under the close supervision of matron, in a district hospital in
north Wales.The book analyses changes both from above and below.
Drawing on newly released official government papers, the official
historian of the NHS reveals the full extent of the negotiations
which preceded the devolution of health administration powers to
the Welsh Office in 1969.
