This book is a must for all you wild foodies, herbalists and gatherers. Miles Irving has taken a few years to write this book ... but it was worth the wait. The Forager Handbook has been written to provide a comprehensive, practical guide to finding and using British edible wild plants. There are preliminary chapters covering habitats, seasons, basic foraging skills, and general ways to prepare and eat wild plants. The main body of the text is devoted to exhaustive coverage, by plant family, of over 365 plants: more than one for every day of the year. Each plant entry includes a description, details of habitat and distribution and general notes relating to the history, biology, and past uses of plants. Lastly, there are extensive sections devoted to recipes and uses, many of which were co-written with many top British and European chefs such as Mark Hix, Richard Corrigan, Rene Redzipe, François Couplan, Sam Clarke and Nathan Outlaw. All these chefs have worked with us at Forager during the past five years to develop innovative ways of using these forgotten ingredients.

When choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui visited China's Shaolin monks, it became more than a dance collaboration - it was a cultural journey. http://www.mindfood.com/at-sidi-larbi-cherkaouis-sutra.seo
Students these days ! Don't know their fekin born ! Only come out on self interest demos and even then go and bottle the wrong party offices. Twats ! They can't even remember back to the election promises of the Lib Dems. Education is wasted on them. I'm begining to sound like a right old fart myself. Have a look at this link sent to me by a pal in education http://www.globalrichlist.com/ and tell me that you're not well off ! I thought this was cool http://onviewonline.craftscouncil.org.uk/out-of-print/structure/
The Scottish Allotment and Gardens Society have published a really good plot-holders guide for allotments. The allotment guide includes information for existing plot-holders, but also contains advice for those looking to establish a new allotments site. It covers topics like health and safety on allotments; bee-keeping and other livestock; rents; funding and legislation. You can download a copy of the guide from below
