Description

Richard Mabey's latest book explores the joy of cooking with local ingredients, delving into the world of vernacular heritage and making use of everything available. He shares recipes and techniques gathered from his travels, including Corsican chestnut recipes and American mushroom ideas. The book also features innovative methods such as cooking eggs in nothing but the sun and making bread using ancient beer. Mabey explores the limits of traditional cuisine, experimenting with nuts and exploring ways to deal with seasonal gluts. He shares his own wartime experiences and re-introduces his father's passion for offals. Through this book, Mabey celebrates the beauty of cooking with local ingredients and encourages readers to think creatively about food and its connection to our heritage.
