Description
Seaweed is a familiar yet enigmatic ingredient, with names like pepper dulse and carrageen that are little known to us. In this beautifully illustrated book, Miek Zwamborn explores the history, culture, and science of seaweed, from its use by Neolithic people to its inspiration for modern artists. With a fascinating look at its potential as a counter to climate change, this book offers fresh new ways to look at the seaside and discover the secrets of the seaweed collector's art.
