There is something especially pleasurable about the mix of whiling away a sunny day by the sea and filling up a bucket with natures finest free edible bounty. So, if the idea of digging around in rock pools for your dinner excites the hunter-gatherer in you, as much as it tickles your taste buds, then this is for you. Follow in the footsteps of one of the country's favourite foraging experts, John Wright, as he winkles out winkles, gets upbeat about sea beet and warms the cockles of your heart with his cockle collecting... and join Hugh too as he gets involved in some of John's wild seaside adventures! In this thorough guide to the edible seashore, John shows you how to identify and unearth the tastiest edible plants, from flavour-packed wild versions of such supermarket staples as garlic, fennel, mustard and rocket to exotic Alexanders and rock samphire. There's also step-by-step advice on how to make the most of the amazing harvest that is seaweed and everything you need to know about how to catch and cook the finest molluscs and crustaceans, from limpets to lobsters. With plenty of recipes from both Hugh and John you won't be short of wonderful ways to put your free foraged harvest to its tastiest uses. Sit back and enjoy more than two hours of informative fun.
