Published in 2012, this beautiful little book is officially what the publishers call a ‘Best Seller’. Beautifully illustrated by Lizzie Harper, who lives in Hay on Wye, the book came about sort of by default.<\/p>\n
When I moved to Wales, I had to learn to cook (that’s a whole other story). Loved the cooking bit but hated the going-to-supermarkets bit. So I started poking around in the undergrowth. I’d always like grubbing about in the woods as a kid, discovering things, making dens, rescuing hedgehogs that didn’t need it.<\/p>\n
I started inventing and collecting recipes, and some years later my notes came in handy when discovered that I’d become a writer. It had struck me that lots of things that I used to take for granted seemed to have gone away, or, at least, skipped a generation; cooking, making things, fixing things…and knowing about ‘wild’ foods.<\/p>\n
It concerned me that people seemed to have lost that kind of knowledge, and all the books I could find about the subject seemed to be too complicated. So I thought I’d write about the most common plants, the ones SO normal and everyday that we almost don’t see them at all.<\/p>\n
These, after all, would have been the ones that were used most often.<\/p>\n
And so I wrote ‘The Hedgerow Handbook’.<\/p>\n
Here are some links to various flattering things people have said about it including the Guardian, the Telegraph and even the New York Times!<\/p>\n
